Hi to all, Here http://iowalincolnhighway.org/Attractions you can see that the Attractions page is a just basic page, with some listed attractions. Now I have to create new content type, with attraction name, description, image, address, county, google map and/or long/lat coordinates. I know how to create new content type. I just wonder how to sort the nodes? Ideally, it would be sorting by long/lat coordinates from east to west but I’m assuming it’s hard? The most easiest and the fastest way would be by adding “order” field (integer) and manually sort it by the order. Though, it could be PITA to reorder once I have almost hundred nodes… :( Any suggestions? Thanks
The Views module will allow you to sort, and present all the nodes of your content type, and even assign a specific URL on your site for that rendering. And much more. Plus for what you want to do should be pretty simple to set up with Views, then as your needs expand you can learn more about this awesome module. Marty At 01:00 PM 7/8/2014, Drupal wrote:

Registered users are not a problem, since you can have them supply info to derive the lat/long of their location, for non registered visitors I would look for a module supporting IP/locations, and then a module to calculate distance between two locations (I seem to recall one), sorting with a view on the distance between locations.

I’m after a module for setting up a very simple twitter action. I have a table with many Twitter addresses. Example Contact this dude his twitter @mytwitter What’s the best module that will recognise @mytwitter of some other simple expression that isn’t going to fill the table with guff and display Twitter buttons to each of these different addresses. I don’t need a Twitter block or anything major. I’ve found a few JS scripts but I’m betting the is a module and lost in the mess of what is what. Yani
Folks: I have a site, using Omega Theme, and nice_menus. The problem is that nice_menus won’t drop down in Explorer. It works in other browsers. I’ve searched the web and notice that this is a problem that can be easily fixed with a modification of css, but I can’t seem to get it working on my site. Would some kind soul be willing to look at my site and suggest a fix? http://es.earthednet.org Thanks, Bill William A. Prothero http://earthednet.org/
