MO Auto add terms for Drupal

Alexis Wilke — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:03:32 +0000

MO Auto add terms is a PHP module for Drupal 6.x.

It is particularly useful for maintaining small and large taxonomies with a small or large number of nodes. Especially taxonomies used as site indexes or glossaries.

This module automatically handles the addition (and optionally removal) of taxonomy terms to a node. It does it at the time the node is saved and when the background process runs (i.e. CRON.)

Drupal Aggregator

Alexis Wilke — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 17:25:46 +0000

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:

Problem	Solution in m2osw's version of Aggregator
Missing XML marker	The <?xml ... ?> marker is missing from some RSS feeds, add it as required

MO Glossary Anchor Support Improvements

Alexis Wilke — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 23:52:31 +0000

We are glad to let you know that we just made an update to the MO Glossary module, a module extension for Drupal 6.x.

This update brings better support to anchors by offering you five different anchor classes and five different filters (i.e. you can change the look and feel of each anchor based on some criteria that fits your website and group your glossary terms in five different taxonomies!) Also, the anchor can be made to point to one of three different destinations:

The Drupal Core Term Page;
This is the default for an anchor
The Taxonomy VTN Term Page;
...

Using the Taxonomy VTN View feature

Alexis Wilke — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 21:52:40 +0000

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

taxonomy_view/voc-xxx/term-xxx

This option sends you to that path, exactly (where voc-xxx and term-xxx are numbers representing the vocabulary identifier and term identifier respectively.)

Extend To Do List with other modules

Extensibility

The To Do List module can be extend with the use of other modules. This page describes such extensions and what you can do with them.

Permissions

You may want to allow more people to work on your To Do List with better granularity in regard to who can edit which issue (instead of all of them) and who can view issues.

There are two modules you can use for this pupose. One lets you choose based on a set of taxonomy terms and the other lets you choose based on available roles.

Insert Node Known Issues

The following are problems that have not been resolved and will probably not be.

Tag not transformed

At times, you enter the tag as in [node:123 cck=title] and it is not converted by the filter.

There are 3 common reasons for this to append:

You did not select the filter in your Input formats;
You did not select the format that uses the filter in that node; or
There is a syntax error in the tag.

The 3^rd one is certainly the most likely explanation once you made sure that the filter was effectively selected for that node. In many cases, it will be the missing semi-colon

Parent/Child with Taxonomy VTN

Alexis Wilke — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 08:34:09 +0000

Terms in a taxonomy can be organized as children of other terms. This generates a parent/child organization. For instance, you can have a term Fruit and mark Apple and Peach as children of Fruit.

The parent/child relationship can be used when you organize your Taxonomy VTN to shorten each page of your dictionary. The idea is simple: whenever you enter the top dictionary (taxonomy) page, you only get a list of the root terms (terms that are not children of other terms.) That list gives you access to the children terms and/or nodes of the parent term.

There are three flags you can use to

Creating Groups with Taxonomy VTN

Alexis Wilke — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 07:58:03 +0000

Taxonomy VTN adds many fields in your taxonomy forms. When editing your taxonomy, one field is called Taxonomy VTN Group. This field is used to group different vocabularies (i.e. taxonomies) together in a group.

The field accepts one or more group names. The names are case insensitive and are separated by commas. For instance, you could have three names such as: Kitchen, Utensils, Stainless Steel. Then another vocabulary could mention Kitchen and yet another Utensils, Wood.

The groups change the display in the Taxonomy VTN root page. A specific group can also be accessed using the URL:

One or two of the taxonomy columns are too wide

Alexis Wilke — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 23:32:27 +0000

It happens that a column in your main display look too wide. Say you use three columns, one may be real large and two are the normal size (1/3^rd of the screen.)

In general this happens because you have a URL in one of your description. (If the URL is in the title, I strongly advice that you move it to the description.) Then the description shows up as wide as that URL. Long URLs will have a real bad effect making the column much wider.

There are two ways to solve the problem:

Create a tiny URL, although tiny URLs may still be too big, it may help
Change the settings of the ...
