Is there a Drupal 7 book that gets into the heart of drupal system,
discusses theming, essential and desirable modules and their use, tips
and tricks, some coding, and such like but does not spend more than half
the book on 'what is drupal', 'introduction', 'preface', 'installation',
'setup', etc.
Something that says:
--If you do this -that will happen, heres why!
--If you do 'a', it causes x,y,z problems down the track!
--Rules does this and you need to know these tricks to make life easier!
--How to reorganise the look and feel of Forms so there's no need to
scroll pages down to fill in 20 fields.
--Panels are good for a or b but can cause a problem because they do
things differently than cck - heres an explanation! --And you can't
easily switch between panels and cck because once the module is
configured it overrides the basic cck.
Golly if a person has investigated and used drupal for a year or two, do
they really need that intro rubbish repeated ad nauseum?
I've checked out many of the books on offer and they seem to treat
drupal users like dummies, writers avoid nitty gritty until the last
chapters.
Please, Are there any good books out there?
thanks
