Overcome the limitations of Drupal's built-in content list using Content Management Filter

content, drupal, modules, workflow

Dave:

The built-in content list provided by Drupal does a few basic things well, allowing you to filter by taxonomy term, status, and node type. However, in cases where you have a large volume of content or a lot of custom CCK fields, this doesn't quite cut it. With the Content Management Filter module, the possibilities are endless.

Using Nodes to store Advance Help Topics

Advanced Help, drupal, modules

Erik:

A few weeks a go a colleague, Kelly, approached me about helping her use the advanced help module to insert contextual help on node edit forms. She was looking for ways to expand the help options available and make using Drupal just a little easier for first-timers.

calais, drupal, modules, semantic web

Frank:

In preparation for the new 4.0 release of OpenCalais on March 15th, we have done some massive upgrades on the Drupal Calais modules. While many of these upgrades were under the hood, there are also some pretty great user accessible features to make you smile.

Node Edit Protection module released.

drupal, javascript, modules

Frank:

Thanks to the nudging from irakli and drewish, I finally made the node protection javascript I blogged about here into a module called Node Edit Protection. As it says on the module page, it is a very simple JavaScript based protection that will alert a user if they are navigating away from a modified Node Edit form without saving. It uses a standard JavaScript confirm dialog that allows the user to either continue what they were doing, or cancel the move allowing them the opportunity to save. It marks the form as dirty by using the blur event of the node fields. Enjoy!

You can't just install the whatever module

drupal, modules, project management

Mike:

As the open source Drupal CMS platform continues to gain popularity, I’ve noticed an unfortunate trend. Many organizations with the potential to use Drupal are underestimating the amount of effort that goes into building and shaping a Drupal website into the solution they desire.

Calais for Drupal 2.0

api, calais, drupal, modules, semantic web, thomson reuters

Frank:

Today Phase2 Technology, in association with Thomson Reuters, launched a big update to the set of Calais for Drupal modules. This marks the first of many feature sets to be released through the end of the year and beyond. These releases are intended to be part of a larger toolset for publishers and large content providers using Drupal. These latest updates are largely focused on the end-user and appeal to publishers. We think they will be useful to all Drupal developers, though, as well as those interested in Semantic technology.
