Date Problems

Author: heritage
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

News Links and icons

Author: heritage
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 = 'Image removed.'; 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

Displaying Exhibits

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.

Audio Playlists

Since the actual Playlist module is being broken down in pievces and is not finalized for drupal5, and since the views_bonus playlist doesn't work with the latest flash player, The following link points to an audio_feeds module which is being kept up-to-date in CVS. This creates 4 views, 3 of feeds and one that loads the audio list into a flash player: http://drupal.org/node/93968#comment-195649 Install and try this on top of the latest audio module. K.

Teasers and Excerpt Module

Create:
Author: heritage
I've installed the Apr 21 dev version of the excerpt module. This adds a teaser field at the top of every node creation page. There are patches that can be useful (like one for restricting the field per role, and one for restricting the fild per node type) The patches are not rolled into a new dev version yet, and I have trouble installing the patch. Leaving it as-is for now, but hope to upgrade the module as soon as a new dev version is released. K.
