Post installation

Is there a way to trim my nodes which use a content type built with CCK module ?

The "Length of trimmed posts" option in administer > settings > posts don't trim those post, even when I create a new content.

Any help would be appreciate.

I was embarking on an effort to use the locale module to substitute some custom strings for the drupal default text, and I noticed that another module we'd installed, tested, and then disabled seemed to have corrupted/changed the locale tables. I only noticed this when I exported the strings from /admin/locale/language/export to make a template (including strings from contributed modules).

Still trying to wrap my head around the Drupal approach, and spent some time this evening reading the Handbooks on various topics...

My main problem is that too often I learn about the fine details, but still can't seem to grasp how to set up the overall structure of the site... in other words, I can't see the wood for the trees.

Let's take blogs for example: I read the blog section, and learned about posting blog entries, reading blog entries and administering blogs.

Been playing with Drupal for the past week (using RC 2).

What I would like to be able to do is display a list of the latest content on the frontage in a similar format to how stickys are displayed but will be a list of the latest 10 content.

Is this possible with a module or snippet ?

I tried the recent blocks which is nice, but does'nt quite do what I require.

Afternoon all

My client has requested that I display random quotes from the quotes.module in the site's footer. I've tried calling the quote module's code from with the footer block, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Do any of you have any pointers that might help me on my way?

Many thanks

Hello all,

I'm getting into the free tagging in 4.7...and I like it. My question is, after I make a bunch of free tagging terms is there anyway for me to show them to my users, such as a list or tag cloud. I mean, is there a "mysite.com/free_tagging" page that presents every free tagging term that I have not yet discovered and is built into the core 4.7? I know I can use the tagadelic.module, but it's overkill for what I want. I need to be able to present ONLY free tagging terms. My taxonomy terms should remain separate as far as presentation is concerned. Any ideas?
