Recommended Posts block: How to show author and number of comments
dsnodgrass - October 26, 2009 - 17:38
I'm using Drupal 5 on my site specifically because the Recommended Posts module is necessary to the site's function, and the module isn't available beyond Drupal 5.
I'm wanting to add the author name and number of comments into the block that recommended posts generates. Since recommended posts isn't a node itself, I'm having no luck doing this with Views.
Would really appreciate if anyone has thoughts on how to make this happen. I've done much searching for anything on this, but since the Recommended Posts module is not widely used, there's very little out there.
I don't know exactly what
I don't know exactly what that module does, but you might be able to use Flag module to mark particular nodes as "recommended" and then use Views to construct the block of n most recently created or updated "recommended" nodes (or most recently recommended perhaps.. that might be a bit trickier), which would let you control exactly which node fields get shown. Plus you could use Drupal 6.x :D
