Code content type and database access?
Might be a silly question but is it possible to create a content type or a node type (excuse terminology errors) that can have say php code that will query the database and display results? I'm thinking along the lines of creating reports to display database data of whatever description.. TIA
Sure. Enable the included PHP Filter module, set the input filter to 'PHP' when creating your node and you can put your code in the body field. On Sat, Jul 16, 2011 at 2:38 PM, Wipe_Out <wipe_out@users.sourceforge.net>wrote:

Be aware that this is considered a security risk and may break your search indexing. It is far better (and faster) to create a site-specific module to do things like this. Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

Thanks Nancy.. I am in the process of planning a number of custom modules, just thought this may be a quick way to create simple custom pages.. I understand what you are saying though.. On 16 July 2011 23:36, Ms. Nancy Wichmann <nan_wich@bellsouth.net> wrote:

You may want to look at the Views module for creating report pages. Nancy, when you say break search indexing are you talking about Drupal search of external search engines. Thanks, Steve On Jul 17, 2011 3:46 AM, "Wipe_Out" <wipe_out@users.sourceforge.net> wrote:

Drupal search. I've had several sites that had search problems, before I got the PHP religion. There are also several DO forum topics discussing this. If cron suddenly breaks, this is almost certainly the cause. The only time I have a PHP page is when I'm testing something; then it gets module-ized and deleted.
