The playlist module in drupal 5 is not as powerful as in drupal 4.7. To create a playlist: - Create a content of playlist type - NOTE: if you enable attached audio on another content type, it could populate the playlist list with tons of unwanted empty items, so stick to node reference to attach audio to other node types. To Add to a playlist: - browse to the desired audio's full view, and click "add to playlist" - The audio-nodes URL has a view that shows teasers with the add to playlist link The Playlist list Block will show on all audio/* url's The m3u link lets people play the whole list in their Windows Media Player.

To sort out images that are uploaded into no album, Or those that are uploaded into an album but also accidentally into no album: - Go to the view named images-uploaded http://www.ismaili.net/heritage/images-uploaded - sort by none of (select all the albums) - get the name of an image without album - sort by one of (selsect 'all' for albums) and find all images with that name - If there are more than one, remove those that aren't in an album. - If there is just one, put it in an album

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.
