Slowakei.com - German-language business portal about Slovakia
Hi,
we launched http://www.slowakei.com a couple of weeks ago on Drupal 5.1. It serves as a portal site about the Slovakian business environment.
The design was done partly by a freelance designer and then implemented into a Drupal theme by Jeroen Coumans (http://www.jeroencoumans.nl/), who was excellent to work with.
The site uses quite a few modules. On the core side, we use
- pathauto for clean URLs (with a hack not to remove Umlauts)
- global redirect
- frontpage to make the first page more customizable
On the nodes, we use:
- meta tags
- related links
- freetagging
- tagadelic
- jrating
For the community (even if there is none yet :) we use:
- ed_classified
- userlinks
- userpoints
On the frontpage, we also use the weather module and currency_api for the Ajaxified currency checker.
The frontpage had initially 220 DB queries and with blockcache we were able to reduce that to 55.
I'd appreciate any feedback and criticism and will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Looks clean _ like it
Looks clean .... good job.
How did you add the Keywords and description?
We can all make it happen!
Keywords
Hi,
do you mean the meta tags? There is a metatags module for that.
Other "keywords" are the freetagging tags.

Pathauto
Hi Tobias,
i´m working on a german drupal page http://www.freelens.ws/dirksway
How did you hacked pathauto for clean URLs (with a hack not to remove Umlauts) is there a patch for this?
Or can you provide the hack?
Cheers from Cologne

Hi Dirk, this is the diff
Hi Dirk,
this is the diff between our pathauto.module and the original one. I believe we based this on a patch from the pathauto project but unfortunately I don't have the original reference.
Also note that this will actually preserve Umlauts as-is. Sometimes it may make more sense to use the transliteration (ä becomes ae). In our case we wanted to keep Umlauts because Google indexes them quite well by now.

Hi Tobias,

Dirk
Did you rerun the pathauto
Did you rerun the pathauto alias generation?
