I'm still undecided which solution to use: Custom module or Views/CCK?
I love the new form API and being a PHP developper, I don't mind having to get my hands dirty a bit. So my question is mainly about performance: which performs better?
I'd be tempted to say custom modules but I read in the development mailing list that "both CCK and Views attempt to aggressively cache their data" making the performance not so much of an issue.
Using Content Construction Kit (CCK) and trying to figure out how to pick out individual elements from CCK nodes (in the same way that could be done with Flexinodes) for node layout.
Below is the standard way a field would be recalled into a theme from a flexinode.
<?php print $node->flexinode_9 ?>
It looks like CCK fields aren't created in the same numeric way and flexinode fields.
Does anyone know how I would recall an element like "field_example"?
I'm very new to Drupal and am taking over an already configured and populated site (old admin is not available to me).
How can I create static content on the main page. Like the top block on http://drupal.org/ that contains an image, a welcome message, and a menu all in a different layout than the rest of the page or the block below this saying "Drupal 4.6.5 / 4.5.7 released"?
I'd like to add some content to the top level of my page that won't get bumped by new items as they are added.
My website will contain a large number of blogs within it. I'd like each blogger to have their own FeedBurner feed available to users so that they can subscribe to a particular feed.
Searching through the forums, I only seem to find solutions that work for a single-feed site.
Does anyone know how to modify Drupal so that each Blog user can have their own feedBurner feed? If it involves a manual process of setting a feed up for each user, thats not a problem.
I am looking for an example of a full drupal application. The site I am beginning to develop involves estimate forms which will eventually generate invoices and work orders, cost sheets, task checklists, etc. I'm wondering if there is anything like this out there.
