Builing a planet web site
Inoubio - February 4, 2009 - 20:48
Hello Community !
How can I do to make a planet With Drupal 6.x ? The module Planet I saw here : http://drupal.org/project/planet has not been updated to the 6.x version of Drupal. Would you please tell me how I can do to make planet ?
To me it seems like you
To me it seems like you would want to use views for this. You could create a customized view of blog teasers or feeds pretty easily and display them pretty well however you like.
Planet is more than just a
Planet is more than just a view. I'm also searching a solution to insert a planet on a drupal web site.
View
I read from the drupal tutorial that a View was a module, but I didn't find it in the module list. Did I misunderstood ? What is a View ?Where to get it ? How to use it ?

The module you are after is
The module you are after is called 'Views' and it allows you to display nodes as lists, tables, etc. With this you could achieve similar results to what the Planet module does, but it will take more work to set up and configure similarly.
Views module is here: http://drupal.org/project/views
Documentation for Views is here: http://drupal.org/node/109604
Good luck
Planet Module development restarted
Please visit http://drupal.org/project/planet again :).
You're welcome to share your experience with views on this forum : Using Views
Thanks.
Planet
Thanks for planet. Will try it out soon
A New Alternative
I was previously working with RockyRoad on the Planet module but she since decided to break away from the core team.
A week ago I started rebuilding this module from scratch. This module is now very stable and has been working great. It also has the full design PlanetPlanet has. It's very likely that if you want a PlanetPlanet clone, or the Planet module isn't cutting it for you, this will be exactly what you want.
The requirements my team started with are here (but we're still adding more features)

We still need to add RTL support and a few other extras.
And after all that, here you go. We hope you enjoy! -> http://drupal.org/project/udplanet
