Pre-formatted node type -- Possible?
Jazzer - March 1, 2006 - 17:19
I daresay I'm asking for too much here but since Drupal appears so well developed, it's worth asking I think. What I would like to provide for my client is dedicated node type with pre-formatted fields (such as 'address', 'price', etc). Once complete, the resulting node would use CSS to display in a specified layout.
Any clues?
If you are using a phptemplate it is straight forward
You can use the flexinode module to define your own content type and then if you are using a phptemplate you can theme the content as you want.
You can find flexinode at http://drupal.org/project/flexinode, make sure you go to 'view older releases' to get the download for 4.6.
And check out http://drupal.org/node/31646 for how to theme content from a flexinode.
Take a look at the flexinode
Take a look at the flexinode module > http://drupal.org/project/flexinode
and
FlexiMAX: the holy grail of theming flexinode teasers and nodes....> http://drupal.org/node/30376
Thank you
I knew there was a reason I chose Drupal. Thanks guys!
flexinode.module plus css.module == nirvana ...
In addition to the very cool flexinode.module, you may want to check out css.module, so that you can add node specific CSS to your entries!!
You may also want to learn to customize the CSS in your template to style your specific flexinodes at a higher granularity.
spritefully yours
css.module for 4.7?
Is the css.module compatible with 4.7 yet? I can see it in the download list.
