Application Programming Interface
code for which the intended user is ... more code.

aphorism: subjective truth or observation

not fixed rules. guidelines

Garfield's Law:
One is a special case of many.

When editing a view, the Row style option may not be available. Change the Style to one that is available to all (both) row styles, such as Unformatted, and you will be able to change from Row style Fields to Row style Node.

The row type of node is not available when the grid style is in use, for instance.

Ideal would be on the field settings, or possibly the field display settings, you can set what the singular and what the plural should be.

I don't think automatic adding of an s would work so well.

Point is you have a link field for entering web sites, it should say web site if there is one and web sites if there are multiple.

The short

You can change the value of a field in a preprocess function here:

<?php
$vars['items'][0]['#markup']
?>

Nowhere else!

The long, unnecessary story of figuring this out

Functions investigated:

login seems successuful but drupal site redirecting to user page access denied error

it was due to having cookie domain set (albeit apparently correctly) in my local settings.php

commenting it out, and i could log in.

Short version: Upgrade webform to 3.x first, while still on your Drupal 6 site.

Went back to the database that i swear i dumped right after upgrading. And the system table has version 7.0 core modules in it, so it's not like i accidentally

Believe it or not, this is the function you want:

core-rsync (rsync) Rsync the Drupal tree to/from another server using ssh.

For example:

drush rsync @example.stage:%files @example.local:%files

Can't do remote to remote though.

A drush command. Text file with modules to enable on dev, and then run it manually or somehow automatically.

drush? make text file with all the modules and git it to drush pm_enable

If we have a defined practice for environment-specific module enabling/disabling and i'd love to disable views_ui, update, etc. on live

It would be run after sync commands-- pull data from live, but then enable update on the test site, and all site building modules on dev

Input formats module - http://drupal.org/project/input_formats - is "an API that allows for the export and import of input formats like an object. This module makes it possible to export and import wysiwyg editor settings into Features."

Seems it should do more than wysiwyg?
