Separate Admin theme from user-browsing theme

Admin theme would better be fixed to 'Garland' by
Site configuration -> Administration theme -> choose non-default theme(Garland is recommended)

user-browsing theme is changed by
Site building -> Themes -> check default to the desired theme(say Pushbutton)
(after saving the change, the message is shown like the following:
"Please note that the administration theme is still set to the garland theme; consequently, the theme on this page remains unchanged. All non-administrative sections of the site, however, will show the selected pushbutton theme by default. "

原文摘要:
"What is Views?

The views module allows administrators and site designers to create, manage, and display lists of content. Each list managed by the views module is known as a "view",
and the output of a view is known as a "display".

Displays are provided in either block or page form,
and a single view may have multiple displays.

Optional navigation aids, including a system path and menu item, can be set for each page-based display of a view.

Take care when move module

• put the add-on modules at drupal/sites/all/modules/
  instead of drupal/modules/ , where core modules are put.
  
  
• if an add-on module was placed at drupal/modules/,
  before moving it to drupal/sites/all/modules/, remember to disable it first.
  Then cut and paste the whole diretory of the add-on module to drupal/sites/all/modules/
  

Run-time call by reference deprecated

Run-time call by reference deprecated:

1. deprecated version: call the function in a PHP program

2. revised version
...
$form1= ...;

Call-time pass-by-reference deprecated warning

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file

in C:\wamps2\www\drupal\sites\all\modules\weblinks\weblinks.module on line 1507


[suspicious causes but actually not]
1. move module weblinks from dru\modules\ to dru\sites\all\modules\
2. weblinks module modification

[cause]
call-by-ref is done compile-time(at function declaration),
there is no need to use f1(&$parameter) at calling

I know that PHP 5 is going
Deeporange1 - July 13, 2007 - 07:53

I know that PHP 5 is going to be much improved over the current standard so that is good, however doesn't anyone worry that rolling out new versions of Drupal so rapidly may suppress module development and what not? The thing is, it takes time to develop modules for new "Major" releases (typically) as there are new methods that have to be taken into account (For D5 it was new form systems). So, if one has a few modules that they support doesn't this kind of stuff up their time?

I am not against new developments but phasing out old platforms so rapidly would seem to stifle growth of contributed modules just a bit.

Is Drupal 6 and 7 going to be fairly compatible with Drupal 5 or are all the modules going to need a lot of patchwork?

Best regards, Derek Webb

如何自訂block region(區塊範圍)?

0. template.php
1. page.tpl.php


//===

template.php:
function YOUR_THEMES_NAME_regions() {
return array(
'left' => t('left sidebar'),
'right' => t('right sidebar'),
'content' => t('content'),
'header' => t('header'),
'footer' => t('footer'),
...
);
}
?>



page.tpl.php code:

*** The location of < div class="sidebar_left" > ...</div> within the page.tpl.php determines the location of the div shown in the layout.

class="sidebar_left" corresponds to some CSS layout code, for example:
.sidebar_left{
width:25%;
float:left;
margin-right:2%;
overflow: hidden;
}

Drupal Content Creation Kit

Drupal 4.7 has an amazing “Content Creation Kit” module available for it (apparently, the module drove much of the node redevelopment between 4.6 and 4.7). It lets you easily create new content types, on the fly, without touching any code. It provides a set of primitives, and you can assemble them however you want - even providing lists of acceptable entries.
