Protected Node Views Support

The Protected Nodes offers some additional supports to views 2.x and 3.x in Drupal 6.x.

The additional support includes fields, filters, and sort capabilities that are added to the Node type. The join between the regular node and the protected node data is the node identifier (nid). This means the revision identifier is ignored.

Drupal Aggregator

The default Aggregator Drupal module does not work very well. There are several problems with the Drupal Core module, one of which we have not fixed in our version (i.e. the flatness of the item table.)

There is a list of the known issues and our comments and whether we fixed the problem:

Using the Taxonomy VTN View feature

One of the options to link terms in a vocabulary to their view is:

taxonomy_view/voc-xxx/term-xxx

Drupal Security Updates and Module Upgrades

As usual, we stay busy keeping our Drupal installation updated and secure.

We have just upgraded to Drupal 6.16, installing several securty updates to bring us up to date. Although security issues that the updates addressed have not affected our customers, it is our duty to our clients to keep everything up to date nonetheless.

Insert Node Parameter: modified (6-1.0)

This parameter inserts the date when the node was last modified.

Note that a node that was never edited does not have a modification date. When that happens, the creation date is used instead.

The date is formatted using the default format date function (see the Drupal format_date() function.)

CSS Class: span.insert-node-date

Theme: InsertNode_modified
