The category module turned out to be pretty unstable. The issues were not updated often. The taxonomy wrapper was enabled in order to be able to import terms, but it squished the acidfree taxonomy and has sql errors and did not classify everything very well. So I disabled The taxonomy module, and thankfully the acidfree structure returned, intact! However, it did not undo whatever it added to views. Views filter still has all the taxonomy terms listed, and the f irst refers to acidfree. The previous way to filter by acidfree albums is not there anymore in the views filter section. So, How to get the previous acidfree filter back into views? How to remove category remnants from taxonomy? -- This is important because now that I've decided not to use category module anymore, I will have to create taxonomy terms that are all the same as those that show in views filter area (but not in admin -> categories link for taxonomy). The items are still there in admin -> category for category module., but I doubt that those items are linked to the views list anymore. The other problem will be access control. The cac_lite module will have to be replaced by tac_lite, all rules will have to be transferred and existing content will have to be retagged.

The 2-column stacked panel was not displaying properly in ie: columns were getting shifted. This was a similar issue: http://drupal.org/node/84281 I therefore copied twocol_stacked.css into aberdeen/layout/twocol_stacked.css added the following css command to the columns overflow: hidden; And the columns displayed properly on ie. I then made the first column slightly larger than the second to accomodate the picture and the news items.

The date field, although it now takes dates older than 1970, still screw up the day values for older dates. ex: entering 1936-12-13, renders 1936-12-12 and the edit window now shows 1936-12-11 and 1957-07-11 became 1937-07-07 and the edit form shows 1957-07-05 !!! How can this get fixed? Try this node: http://ismaili.nixx.ca/drupal5/node/1689 birth date should be 1936-12-13 important date should be 1957-07-11

Apart from TIH of history/news events, shall we use the evenr repeat module for special event announcements such as khushialis and birthdays? K.

I decided to try out node reference as a substitute for the categories setup I have for News Events and News items. Node reference is useful because it helps separate entries of different types when entering and when displaying data. I then used the computed field cck module to tell this field that "whenever the event node has an associted album, display a camera icon in the teaser" This works partially. The icon displays, but the condition dos not work very well. Here are my code and links: Computed code: if ($node->field_album_link[0]['value'] != '') $node_field[0]['value'] = 'cameracanonicon.jpg'; Display format: $display = ''; node edit: http://ismaili.nixx.ca/drupal5/node/252/edit news events: http://ismaili.nixx.ca/drupal5/newsevents news event edit: http://ismaili.nixx.ca/drupal5/admin/content/types/news-event/fields

I need to change title sizes and text fonts for blocks. Perhaps the end of this link will help: http://drupal.org/node/147785 or this: http://drupal.org/node/125111 This is a good resource: http://drupal.org/node/104319

Exhbits are basically News Event and History Event pages that list all the nodes that are assigned to those events. Can use the category_view module to order all the listed nodes by node type. But speeches and interviews are all news item types- how to separate them in the event view? Can I Order the view by Category ID? Read up on Category_view module. There may be patches to install. === The following link shows how to hard code the event type's page and teaser displays: http://drupal.org/node/48816#comment-231447 We can then list all content linked to an event in separate sections as separate views. This may not be a great idea for the teaser field as it would make the event teaser list heavy to load. We need to find a way for the teaser to display just the node count of the content linked to the event.

Here's a patch to make custom field names and to output all fields in the node view: http://drupal.org/node/142001
