Drupal Development

I want to de-emphasize listing pages-- I'm not sure I don't want them indexed, and I certainly want them spidered so everything else will be indexed -- I'm tired of our own site coming up in search results when it isn't relevant, simply because so many terms are together on a big listing page (as for a taxonomy term).

There's a Drupal module for that (and it's sure to be better than poll module, which is getting voted out of core), but it's not up to date: http://drupal.org/project/timeline

If there is no matching row for the right table in the ON or USING part in a LEFT JOIN, a row with all columns set to NULL is used for the right table. You can use this fact to find rows in a table that have no counterpart in another table:

Is Drupal's default contact form page a tad too restrictive? Do you want to have more than comfortably fits in the little option to have some text above the contact form? Do you need even that text to be multilingual? Would you rather not try to do all this with form_alter and creative use of blocks? Why can't one simply embed the contact form in a page, or better yet as one element in a panel, you ask? Why, indeed. Agaric has no idea why. But Agaric can tell you how (with or without generous use of text emphasis, we're flexible).

File-based caching can also be cool. Jay Pipes:

I'd like to see if there are places it could help Drupal. The current preferred solution for high-performance Drupal, though, is memory caching:

Like everyone else using a lot of Drupal, I want sophisticated change management where we have:

Why not doing a simple

select count(*) from groups

?

Doing the World Social Forum site right now has brought up two questions for me:

First, is there a way to tell either the translation interface or a PO export to ignore all strings in /admin pages?

what does static caching mean in php?

That a variable is remembered when that instance of PHP next goes into the function holding the variable, and an instance is per-call, per-user, for a single page execution from the standpoint of a web app (simultaneous calls to PHP open different process threads).

static only applies for the life of the process

static variables are used to keep variable content between two function calls, not between two script executions, from what I can see in the manual and from how it behaves in C/++.
