A site with articles, news and shops

Hi,

I've created a drupal site (http://www.blapper.com/ that has custom written stories, aggregated RSS news and amazon product feeds on it.

I wrote a module (myArticle.module) to give me nice long and descriptive paths like

http://www.blapper.com/myArticle/mag/travel/transportation/air/airlines/...

I'm not sure whether or not I would have saved time just using the path.module though.;P Doh! Anyway, the module has helped me learn a lot about this great CMS system and if I might release it to the Drupal community if there's any interest and I get the time to tidy the code.

Anyway, I'm interested in receiving both positive and negative feedback from other members of this forum.

Regards,

fcmisc.

As far as I know, for the path module you just specify a path. And you access nodes from that path via the root. e.g. http://forum.blapper.com/path_goes_here

The module I created gives users a path based on the "term". e.g.

http://www.mysite.com/term1/subterm1.2/subterm2.1/node_path

It also gives users a simple way of navigating through this hierarchy. ON each term page, sub terms are listed first. And below that the nodes within that term. If a term is empty then random nodes from further sub terms are displayed. Paging with SEF is also implemented.

its nice
