Drupal Use
Anjali's Website & Racing Update: A simple Agaric site in use
It's great to see a site in use – a classy and professional site for an incredible person – but though built on a budget clearly we can and will make it easier to use for subscriptions and notification purposes:
Hello Everybody -
Add an image to a block
How do we add an image to a custom defined, textual block?
You can change menus here:
Edit the custom block in question, at a URL like:
Ask Agaric: Magic copy non-Drupal tab with content to Drupal? No
What's the easiest way to get content from the IBO to the MCJ website?
Attach a file to a Drupal page or post
Go to the page:
http://camparrowhead.us/volunteer-applications
Click the edit tab.
Scroll down to File attachments. Click to expand if necessary.
Attach new file, click Browse.
Find the document on your computer and hit OK/Open.
Now click Attach.
Check off which attachments you want listed on the page.
Click Submit.
Done!
Style within content in Drupal: use standard HTML tags
Ask Agaric: how to get colorful, styled text within the content I write?
One request: we are trying to get more color and liveliness into the site. Can you give me the HTML code for purple font? I’d like to change all the headings in the verbiage to purple…! Thanks.
Change comment authorname and date in Drupal
In Drupal, you can set the user (author) and date of a comment to something other than yourself and that moment, if you have administer comments permission– just not while posting.
If you click the edit link for the comment after posting, there will be a collapsed "Administration" section where you can change the username and posting timestamp, just like you can for a node.
About Drupal's main RSS feed
This post is about the main site feed, found on any Drupal site by adding /rss.xml to the site's main web address. (Drupal can also create all kinds of feeds for taxonomy terms and views.)
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.
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:
- In Flock, go to File » New Blog Post
Seth Godin on Landing Pages
http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2006/04/vocabulary_land.html
A landing page (in fact, every page) can only cause one of five actions:
* Get a visitor to click (to go to another page, on your site or someone else's)
* Get a visitor to buy
* Get a visitor to give permission for you to follow up (by email, phone, etc.). This includes registration of course.
