There are several issues that usually plaque a Drupal installation and here is a list to some of them below. Please note that this article mainly refers to Drupal 7 and it may or may not relate to other Drupal releases.
1. Search Not Functioning
If you find the search returns nothing then see this post for some pointers.
One of the quickest and safest way to customize a drupal theme is to go via subtheme route.
Safest? Because even if the base theme get updated in the future all your modifications will remain intact unless there was a major change put in place by the author.
Firstly, let's assume the base theme name is "base" and "sub" is your new subtheme. In your case, replace each name accordingly.
Have you ever wanted to change text formats for your site's comments?
In my case, I wanted all comments done only in plain text no matter if it is a signed in user (authenticated) or just an anonymous one. Formats for contents still depend on the original settings - this only affects text formats for comments only.
For reasons that I am not aware of, Drupal 7 does not come with taxonomy field as default and that means you have to "insert" it into a content type of your choice.
I noticed that whenever I was creating a blog or book content, there no way to enter the categories or tags into it.
A little search leads me to the method how to do it.
First, enable Field and Field UI Modules.
Next go to Content Types and select "manage fields" for content type of your choice.
To qualify for the Million Club you have to sell (not give away) one million Kindle books on Amazon.com and John Locke has achieved that by last June 19th.
It took me quite a while to get Windows Live Writer to recognize and work with my new Joomla 1.6 site. If you’re into offline editing for Joomla then this article might be helpful.
I have not tried but I guess this is useful for other offline blog editors too such as BlogDesk, BlogJet, Zoundry Raven, Post2Blog, Qumana and many others.
I was searching and reading lots of stuff relating to this topic but no one talked about something so tiny little but gave me lots of frustration.
I recently updated my WP Auto Blog Buddy plugin and had a surprise or rather an error when activated. It has now been solved and I learned a very important lesson as a result. So what lesson is that? I am going to share that with you so just read on…
Exposure is a very big thing in the online world. So your content should be distributed to as many sites as possible to make a better impact. But one drawback is that that will take a lot of efforts if done manually so turning to using a tool for the task is a smart option.
Perhaps you’re working to introduce a new site on an existing domain name and wanted to see it live online. At the same time the old site has to keep running and showing to ordinary web visitors.
So how to achieve that?
Miriam Schwab from WpGarage outlined this simple process very clearly. Apparently the method is applicable both to Windows system as well as Linux/Unix and Mac (OSX). Give it a go!
Email remains one of the greatest productivity tools of all time and if Outlook is what you’re using then this tip may help you become more efficient.
There are times when we need save all email accounts that have been setup in MS Outlook. And I am a person who use Outlook as my email center where all email messages including those using Gmail services get collected. I don’t think opening one email mailbox after another is efficient especially if you have more than a handful of accounts to manage.
OpenCart is currently one of the top ecommerce systems besides Prestashop and Magento.
Like most software systems nowadays, OpenCart is built upon PHP and mySQL. It helps a lot since these are very popular and readily understood and customized.
Good ranking has been largely attributed to the amount and quality of backlinks you can have to your site. This is especially true when it comes to getting good search result position in Google Search.
However, normal school of thought usually refers to having off-page links in a positive sense. That means more links translate as more goodwill and better quality of the site being linked to. So major search engines use the backlink criteria in their algorithm to rank sites and quantity being one of the parameters.
There was a research done by Michael Campbell using hundreds of heatmaps, clickmaps, web usability studies, eye tracking reports and ad placement suggestions from the bigger ad networks.
The result?
You can double or triple your ad revenues, without any additional traffic, clicks, or page views, just by moving the ads to the hot spots.
Ning.com is going fully commercial by mid July 2010 and they no longer support free accounts. Most account owners are aware of this unfortunate change but the majority wouldn’t know what to do.
Running a blog or e-commerce site usually requires the usage of images to increase its effectiveness.
This is more so true for an ecommerce site as it represents a normally physical outlet with goods people can see and touch. No website can fully match the real experience except trying to be close to that by displaying still images, sound or video. Using just a bunch of texts to describe a product may not be so appealing to most web visitors.
You have a blog which you post article quite frequently and it is getting a decent amount of visitors everyday. Now, you’re thinking if it is possible to generate some income out of it?
Yes, it is possible but the size of your income will depend on many factors including:
I love Ping.fm for I can submit a post to many sites by just sending to it. It then distributes it to many other sites automatically and these include Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and lots of others. It’s also free to sign up and use.
In Drupal you start this by downloading and installing Ping.fm module.
Problem is, I’ve failed to get it to work until I got fed up and forget about it. I got this “Failed posting Ping.fm” error every time I wanted notify new post to Ping.fm.
The advent of CSS has made web layout tasks a lot easier than it used to be in the past. However one bugging problem for designers was how to achieve an equal height in a multi-column layout.
Recently I noticed that my site was showing some kind of error in place where OpenX was supposed to serve ads. As I had no time to troubleshoot, it was left that way for quite sometime.
This is what was shown in the OpenX ad zone, a phrase that says “$creative_html”. Hey, what does that mean?
