Agaric Site Reorganization

Validation error, please try again. If this error persists, please contact the site administrator.

OK. It persists, and I am the site administrator. What exactly am I supposed to do?

The Freelinking module, bless its heart, is a tad too overzealous in its attempt to linkify any words it thinks are in CamelCase.

Furthermore, it interferes with links with capitalization in them, even when the linking is applied first. Agaric considers this a bug.

Ideally one could turn freelinking off for most content types, except say your Wiki content type.

The way freelinks work may be tied too closely to Drupal's input filter functionality, though, and not easy to disable per node type.

Whatever the reason, you can't.

Naturally, if you have a wiki content type, you want everybody to be able to view revisions. Odds are they may have an edit tab also.

But do you really want a big "Revisions" tab and a redundant "View" tab added at the top of your carefully crafted about us page, the one where you just deleted all references to your collective cofounder and you really don't want anyone looking at revisions anyway?

2009 Update: http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_multi_edit (this module was around, just didn't find it until now!)
And http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations has been made far more powerful.

The below is very, very out of date.

The pictures are still in the file system, but Drupal no longer knows the images are there.

Resolution

How do I change the order of the create content links?

Resolution

Agaric thought of creating a module for this. And then we remembered that we just have to reorder their menu items. Administer » Build » Menu (admin/build/menu)

This won't help on the create content page itself, but we never visit this page. Do you? It can also be replaced with a physical page of links if you absolutely must theme this, or a module to replace the default page, but you know you don't need it.

Oh my god that was SOOOOOOOO annoying. We spent a simply silly amount of time trying to figure out why imagecache images would not display at all.

Resolution

Even though Agaric Design's site is now on Drupal 5, we hadn't changed the .htaccess file in the Drupal files directory since it was a tender young 4.7.

And therein lay the problem.

To quote from the imagecache modules page itself (a moral of this story is to always go there first-- in this case the answer was right on the front page before we could even look in the issue queue)

weird issue: our blog view after upgrading the site from Drupal 4.7 to Drupal 5 is not in chronological order of posting.

Resolution

Replacing blog.module with views
http://drupal.org/node/47419

Wow, that worked really, really well. We just created the view through the views user interface (modifying tracker, which already had user arguments built in) but the Agaric blog looks great, for me too.

How to represent contacts, or clients, in Drupal?

A CCK recipe (and this is a common need so it should be a recipe) or the other obvious solution, CiviCRM?

I suppose it depends on what one wants to do with it.

Our use case is for managing our clients, in a yet-to-be-fully-developed project management system.
