How to make CCK fields do some of the same tricks as taxonomy terms | !&# - 0 views

  • In Drupal, taxonomy.module implements hook_term to provide links among content which shares a given term. Site builders often use this feature to provide indexes and RSS feeds of their content. Taxonomy.module's purpose is to support the creation of controlled vocabularies which we can use to classify our site's content. If taxonomy.module were a prescription drug, this would be its "on-label" or indicated use. Using taxonomy.module vocabularies and terms to store essential data about our content is what I call an "off-label" use. You're not really creating a controlled vocabulary, and the term-node relationship in these cases isn't always classificatory. However, a clever web developer will use the tools that get the job done, and often taxonomy.module is the perfect tool for making this happen. Because this information is essential to your node's content, CCK fields are indicated for this use. However, CCK fields don't have built-in linking among nodes which share values for the same field. Also absent is any built-in RSS feed for a CCK field's value. This requires some theming and Views.

Reducing server resource utilization for busy sites by implementing fast 404s in Drupal... - 3 views

  • // List of extensions for static files $exts = 'txt|png|gif|jpe?g|shtml?|css|js|ico|swf|flv|cgi|bat|pl|dll|exe|asp|xml'; // It is not an imagecache path, which we allow to go through Drupal if (!strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], 'imagecache')) { // It is not our main feed page if ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] != 'rss.xml') { // Is it a static file? if (preg_match('/\.(' . $exts . ')$/', $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) // Just send a 404 right now ... { header('HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found'); print '<html>'; print '<head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>'; print '<body><h1>Not Found</h1>'; print '<p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p>'; print '</body></html>'; exit(); } } }

Drupal Performance Tip: Block Visibility | Lullabot - 3 views

  •  
    "So remember: don't rely on regions and template files to hide blocks; they do so visually only. Using block visibility settings will ensure that extra processing is not performed on blocks that aren't being printed out in the first place, and keep your server nice and speedy!" See also the comment regarding the Context module and even Panels. Personally, I rarely use the traditional block page these days and rely more and more on the Context module as well as the Panels module in some cases.
