Views Field vs. Node performance
by Brian Choc 06 May '10

06 May '10

Can someone comment on the performance implications of choosing Field vs. Node row style in Views (Drupal 6)? On the one hand, there are (likely) more queries for Nodes, but caching should also play a role. Thanks, Brian

CityGrid modules?
by Scott 05 May '10

05 May '10

Through a NYTimes article I just became aware of CitySearch's set of APIs for their CityGrid system. I've just now signed up and printed out the API documentation and was wondering if anyone has started on or developed a module(s) for this. Apparently they've given up the battle for eyeballs and decided to share their database. They provide three APIs, one for Search, one for Profiles and one for Reviews. Publishers that use these may get paid through revenue sharing. It's still a bit unclear to me how the payment schedule works. Anyway, I thought it worth looking into.

multisite - document tree vs. file tree
by Jim Tarvid 05 May '10

05 May '10

I want to run a multisite installation where sites/domain_name is in the user file space. A symlink seems to do the trick. root@helen:~# ls -la /home/lsnet/public_html/drupal.ls.net/sites/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 lsnet lsnet 4096 2010-05-04 17:16 . drwxr-xr-x 10 lsnet lsnet 4096 2010-03-06 14:28 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 lsnet lsnet 36 2010-05-04 15:08 adumbral.ls.net -> /home/adumbral/sites/adumbral.ls.net drwxr-xr-x 4 lsnet lsnet 4096 2010-03-03 19:20 all drwxr-xr-x 4 lsnet lsnet 4096 2010-03-03 19:20 default lrwxrwxrwx 1 lsnet lsnet 41 2010-05-04 17:16 wordsoftheprophets.org -> /home/tarvid/sites/wordsoftheprophets.org root@helen:~# cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordsoftheprophets.org <VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot "/home/lsnet/public_html/drupal.ls.net" ServerName wordsoftheprophets.org <Directory "/home/lsnet/public_html/drupal.ls.net"> allow from all AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options Options FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +Indexes </Directory> ServerAlias www.wordsoftheprophets.org </VirtualHost> I tried to do this with an alias in sites-available. Alias /sites/wordsoftheprophets.org /home/tarvid/sites/ wordsoftheprophets.org Which does not work. Is this because Drupal examines the file tree instead of the document tree? Jim -- Rev.

A decent trackback module
by Nilesh Govindarajan 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hi, Is there any good trackback module for drupal which supports spam and postgresql ? I check with http://drupal.org/project/trackback and pingback, either don't do well on pgsql. trackback sucks in spam integration. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !

Workflow and SimilarTerms
by Nilesh Govindarajan 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hi, I have some Draft and Review workflow, but, when viewing them as a guest, on the access denied page, SimilarByTerms module pulls up the nodes which are in Draft/Review and shows them. I want that, nodes that have the Published workflow only are displayed by SimilarTerms. Do you know any relevant module which does this, or I have to alter the code ? -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !

What makes WP sites popular as compared to drupal sites ?
by Nilesh Govindarajan 03 May '10

03 May '10

Hi, I've been using Drupal for quite a long time, since D5 was on. I have used WordPress also, but in general I have observed that, WordPress made sites become popular very easily, but inspite of having a lot of content in Drupal, the site doesn't get much hits. I don't think its because of theme or some UI related issue. Let's discuss this ! -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !
