General discussion

Blogger has released details on many new features, very well done I might add: LINK BLOGGER: many of you will find this information helpful in directing drupal's role in this ever expanding world of social software (community plumming)...of note: comments are enabled, a new 'profile' page for meta-web, robust permalink support, conditional tagging, e-mail blogging.......

A FUNDAMENTAL design FLAW of this, however, is the dashboard merely LINKING to the profile. Simply WRONG. Each personal PROFILE PAGE should be the command center where control is rendered...people ALWAYS want to see themselves FIRST..this creates a sense first of psychological and then social orientation (you know and trust yourself) that most social networking sites/social software designers have not learned or figured out yet.

"When you sign in to Blogger, you land on your Dashboard page; a kind of command center featuring all the blogs you have editorial access to, some blogs of note, a link to your Profile page, and recently updated blogs. When you click on a blog name, you'll get a page with your 25 latest posts arranged in a list. From that page you can choose to edit, view, delete or create a new post. You can also click the tabs to get to your Settings and Template options.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to put the META TITLE tags individually into each page? A lot of CMS seem to take the META TITLE tag from the main H1 title in the copy (from what I can see).

I want this facility as this is because the META TITLE tag can be search engine friendly whilst the main H1 title can stay human friendly.

Thanks!

(I posted this originally in the pre-installation forum, but there's questions there that haven't been answered for 3 weeks, and one that's languishing without a reply for 6 weeks)

I've been trying to figure out how to do this with no success. What I would like to do is to provide a list of blogs (i.e., blog *titles*, not blog entries) in a block. It seems like the code (posted by mabster) can be tweaked to do this, but I can figure out what to change.

global $user;

if (user_access("access content")) {
  $blogs = "";

  $queryResult = db_query_range("SELECT n.uid, u.name, max(n.nid) FROM {node} n INNER JOIN {users} u ON u.uid = n.uid WHERE n.type = 'blog' AND n.status = 1 GROUP BY n.uid, u.name ORDER BY 3 DESC", 0, 3);

  while ($node = db_fetch_object($queryResult)) {
    $blogs .= l(t("<h3>%username</h3>", array("%username" => $node->name)), "blog/$node->uid", array("title" => t("Read %username's latest blog entries.", array("%username" => $node->name))))
      . node_title_list(db_query_range("SELECT n.title, n.nid FROM {node} n WHERE n.type = 'blog' AND n.status = 1 AND n.uid = " . $node->uid . " ORDER BY n.nid DESC", 0, 3));
  }

  return $blogs
      . "
". l(t("more"), "blog", array("title" => t("Read the latest blog entries."))) ."
";
}

I would appreciate any suggestions on modifications to accomplish this. Thx,

Donovan.

Hello everyone,
I have just used code from http://drupal.org/node/view/5508. Works great. I have a question about the thumbs in the image gallery. If I understand things correctly, it seems that when you place an image in the gallery you actually have THREE images to deal with. The original image, a non-clickable thumb, and a clickable thumb. The 1)original photo is directly linked from the 2)clickable thumb in the gallery. However, you still have the 3)node non-clickable thumb. The code:

Hi,

is it possible to associate somehow a picture with a taxonomy term? For example image would be shown next to each story on the main page.

Thanks.

It is strange but i`d noticed not long ago, that weblink module posts incorrect count of link clicks under anonymous user visit.
When i`m authorizing - links clicks a counting good, when i`m logging out - links counting is stoping and showing bad numbers (even zero instead of 124 for example).
Truth is out there?

p.s.
I`m using Drupal 4.2cvs,& please don`t tell mt to upgrade - i`m doing it now:)
