So you upload an image or three to your node, and you're wondering: "how do I get them in there?" ;) Well here's how I got them in there.

To follow this tutorial, you will need:

• To feel comfy writing your own HTML for images, e.g. <img /> tags
• To have installed CCK, ImageField and ImageCache.
• That you are familiar with how an ImageCache preset affects the upload process of an image when you use an image field to upload it.

You will also need the following information:

1. The name of your uploaded image file
2. The name of your image preset (the "image preset namespace"). Navigate to your ImageCache settings and hit "edit" for the preset in question - you should be able to see the preset name space.
3. The name of the folder where your image field will store its images. To find this, go to content management and get to the configuration page for your image field. You want to know the "File path" under "Path settings".
   Warning: If you are using tokens to determine this, you will also have to figure out exactly what the path will be for your uploaded image.

I have been looking for a single point where we can get the comprehensive documentation about Drupal Installation. I am proposing creation of a Wiki. This will help new-bies like me as well as maintainers/developers as most of the issues will be solved within the WIKI.

The Cumulus module provides a very nice eye candy way to display 3D tag clouds.

The 12 steps to get up and running

1. Download the project from http://drupal.org/project/cumulus
2. Unpack and upload the project to your 'sites/all/modules' directory
3. Using the editor of your choice, create a new file named cumulus.js
4. Point your browser to either http://pratul.in/files/cumulus.js or http://pratulkalia.googlepages.com/cumulus.js
5. Copy the javascript code to your new cumulus.js file and save.
6. Upload the new cumulus.js file into the cumulus module directory at 'sites/all/modules/cumulus'
7. Enable the module at 'admin/build/modules'
8. Gather id's of taxonomy vocabulary that you want cumulus to operate on by navigating to 'admin/content/taxonomy'. Hover over the "edit vocabulary" operation link to see the vocab id in the browser status bar. In the case that your browser has no status bar, you can also click the "edit vocabulary" link and then read the vocabulary id out of the url.
9. Insert your cumulus enabled vocab id's into the block configuration at 'admin/build/block/configure/cumulus/0' as comma separated values. This field is the second one from the top.

Note: Features module is still in beta production stage (as of 2000919). Use it at your own risk. Feedback is always welcome!

So, here's the thing: If someone asks you how to make a blog on a Drupal site, you don't tell them to activate the Blog module (which is ready for retirement). You tell them that a blog is easily made with CCK and Views – and some settings that would cover 2–3 pages of fine print.

The Features module shortcuts the work with configuring settings by providing comfortable means for bundling, exporting and importing settings for many of the most used Drupal modules. See this quick intro. Features shifts the site development paradigm from tweak here and there into enabling features.

This tutorial covers the creation of a website using drupal.

I am creating a site for learning purposes and wanted to document how I did it. This will help other people understand the processes I performed. This will also help me remember the things I have done especially when I need to explain them for several times in the future.

So here it goes:

background info:
The site I will be creating is going to be based on the needs of my employer Uroboros glass, and hopefully when I am fully finished with it, I can present it to them and they will let me implement it. With a raise??!!

The first modules you should install are:
advanced help and administration menu

The needs of this site are as follows:
general modules needed
Nice_Menus
Rules
taxanomy
views_slideshow

Multiple page status:

twitter
module

WYSIWYG html editor

To configure Activity Stream for Yelp you need to acquire your Yelp.com userid. This is different from your name, or email login!

Step 1: Your Profile Homepage

Your profile homepage is found by clicking the About Me button visible on almost every Yelp.com page. Click it!
Screenshot of the Button

Step 2: Look At URL

Your Profile URL has a string of alphanumeric characters. This is your userid!
Screenshot of URL and User ID
Copy this string to your clipboard.

Step 3: Configuration Page

Go to your Account Page. Click Edit, then click the ActivityStream button. (This can be overridden by your site administrator, so it may not say "Activity Stream"). The URL should appear as so: http://www.example.com/user/128/edit/activitystream
