GetID3 Library placement for Emfield Module

getid3 library not found error...
http://drupal.org/node/120970

This really should be configurable in the module, but to work around this and put it (or make it appear) to be where it wants it--

(after aptitude install php-getid3)

cd /your/drupal_root/misc
sudo mkdir lib
sudo mkdir getid3
sudo ln -s /usr/share/php-getid3/ getid3

Resolution

Exclude the results of a one-node view from another view (the Featured Feature problem)

Drupal 6 Views 2 has an offset modifier to the "Items to display" property which should make doing this dead simple; just create two displays of the same view with different settings for these two options.

Scroll way down for the resolution in Drupal 5:

featured view shows latest feature only
other one shows everything
all featured are in the everything vocab too

Work-steps for "Calendar/Date implementation with custom view, Panels 2 mini panel and tabbed mini panel, and a theme function override for the breadcrumbs" from Patrick Phillips of the Vineyard Voice with consultation by Ted Serbinski:

Ask Agaric: Upload photos and display them on a page with introduction

Hi Ben,

I have some things like photos and some audio files and whatnot I could add to the site.

How do I know where something will end up and how it will be listed on the menus? For some reason I haven't figured that out.

For example, say I want to upload 10 photos from the old contest and want to show them on a page that also has brief text about the last contest. What menu/s will it show up under. Same for a couple of podcast files.

Is it easier for me to just make these entries part of my blog posts?

Blogging to Drupal with Flock

It's easy to set up Flock to blog to your Drupal site (or your blog on some huge community Drupal site!)

There's probably more than one way to set the settings (such as by clicking self-hosted blog under Blogging in the Accounts and Services sidebar), but here's one direct way that worked for Agaric:

Firefox Keyword Shortcuts to Drupal Resources and Searches

Inspired by Jody Hamilton's Drupal timesavers I updated and am sharing my Firefox wildcard-enhanced shortcuts to common Drupal-related founts of information. See Adam Ross's post for a file you can import.

Alan Frankel suggests this information begin with how to create a keyword shortcut in the first place:

(1) Go to "Bookmarks/Organize Bookmarks".

Including a file in a bash script: that's what dot file does

To source a file in a shell script is similar to the way one can include or require a file in PHP.

Upgrading Drupal a full number version from a cold, dead database

So we got a Drupal 4.7 database from a client without the old 4.7 code.

OK, sure, slap that directly into a fresh Drupal 5 installation, and update it, right?

Uh, errors everywhere. Can't get to the admin section, let alone log in!

Pathauto 2 is pretty picky. And a bully. What finally made it happy.

So even as the help text says raw versions are dangerous, Pathauto version 2 badgers you into using [title-raw], [user-raw], etc. So just put that in right away, and it won't yell at you.

The other trick to make Pathauto happy on the first try is that a Blog path (and other node types) does not take [user] or [user-raw]. Instead, you should put in [author-name-raw].

I expect it will get more user-friendly (and export and import of patterns would be really nice) but it's one of the must-have modules no matter what.
