hate this link

http://accessibleworld.org/taxonomy/term/16/all/feed I hate these taxonomy feed links they look icky. How can I change this tokens don't seem to work for me. If it is not easy. I'll just leave them the way they are. Drupal 5/6 worked liked a champ, but since I don't have access to my token list yet and the ones I found on drupal.org don't seem to work. I'm puzzled. From what I have read I would have to install yet more modules to get access to simple tokens and I will start drownding in modules soon for something that should have been handled in core and token module.

Exporting views
by toon severijns 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hello all, I am looking for a way to export selected fields of a view after executing one or more exposed filters on it. I know i can kind of do this with http://drupal.org/project/node_export using VBO's, but i do not see how i can control which fields are outputted and in which way. Node export simply exports the whole node. I have also looked at http://drupal.org/project/views_bonus which gives me the opportunity, as views does, to nicely determine the fields etc. The trouble here is that i can only (as far as i know) export a predetermined view, without having the ability to first filter my view with my exposed filters. Am i missing something? This doesn't seem to be such an exotic functionality, right? Drupal must have an easy solution for this... Any help greatly appreciated! Best, Toon

@media only and images
by tony maciejowski 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Dear All, Got back from BAD Camp in Berkeley full of new knowledge. Trying out @media only. Mantra was design for the mobile and then implement Mobile first. Progressive enhancement. rather than elegant degradation. Such like the Boston Globe's new site. Gradually minimize the width of the browser to see. You guys know all about this. My question for Drupalites: I have a png logo and it doesn't minimize gradually like I would expect. Barring overlooking something in the CSS is there some setting in *Drupla* (better name for Drupal imho) which is stopping it from minimizing? Thanks Tony -- *tony maciejowski** | analyst/programmer | websites | www.tony-mac.com<t_maciejowski(a)hotmail.com> * *Twitter: anntosh* | *Cell: 323.899.6206* | *Linked-In:* *Anthony Maciejowski*

Is there a module that creates "Books" Similar to RoboHelp projects?
by Alamo, Al 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

I am currently working on an Intranet project in which we use RoboHelp for on-line manuals connected to a single source document system. Our goal is to replace the system within Drupal, so that content contributors will be able to add and modify on-line manuals right in Drupal. RoboHelp for those that are not familiar with the interface creates a GUI with a left navigation system and 3 tabs that show content, and Index of key words (vocabulary terms), and a search, that allows the end-user to search that particular manual. Many Help systems use this type of interface. This interface is essentially what Books is in Core, and what the contributed module Easy Books offer, with more bells and whistles to it. I am wondering if anyone has created a contributed module that puts it all together, or if we will have to build something from scratch. Or team has expertise with HTML. CSS, .Net, JavaScript, and classic ASP, but unfortunately we are just starting out with PHP. Looking forward to your ideas and thoughts.

MySQL noob: Update images to gallery tid
by Jeff Brown 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hope you'll pardon my absolute lack of knowledge of SQL and give me a little clue or 2. I'm retroactively changing the photos layout on a site to Views Gallery, and need to update a couple of image nodes to the Term "gallery". Could do it manually, I guess, but I'd really love to know this trick. So I have nid 1,2,3,4, etc. that need to have the gallery tid = '1' (for argument's sake). Therefore I need to update the 'term_node' table - and INSERT where nid = 1,2,3,4 tid = '1' I think that makes sense? Thanks. :)

Setting page meta "description" on View Page
by Deve Loper 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hi to every body out there. I've been trying to assign a "meta description" for a page that is generated by using views. My view page accepts a param. This param is the "initial char" that is used for an alpabetical search of terms (like a dictionary access) So...the URLs with i'm having problems with looks like this. domain.com/category/a domain.com/category/b ..... In all this pages, including the one generated by a query no parameters ( domain.com/category) there is not "meta description" tag. I've seen that the usual way of dealing with this is through "node words". The point is i'm using it, but it seems it won't display the description tag. Can anybody give me any tips of how to deal with this? Thanks in advance
