filter

I changed the name of the module back to InsertNode (although I did not want to, I did not want to jeopardize the Drupal 5 version... which would probably have been fine, but well...)

So, the newer version of the D6 module is again called InsertNode.

To upgrade you will want to keep the other version running until you get the new version as the replacement (although you can manage your site the way you'd like this procedure let you switch from the previous version to the new version without having to turn off your site for a little while.)

1. Extract the new version, it adds InsertNode ...

Decompress the module in your sites/all/modules folder.

Go to admin/build/modules (Admin » Site Building » Modules) and select the new module (under package named "Filters input".)

Go to admin/settings/filters (Admin » Site Configuration » Input formats) and select the Insert node filter1.

Make sure that the text areas using the [node:...] tag make use of one of the formats having this Insert node filter ...

• 1. It is suggested that you create a new format if you are to use this filter only on a few pages. This way, you avoid wasting time on all pages.

The following pages are the official documentation of the InsertNode module available on Drupal.

This module is a filter used to insert a node in another. Version 5.x is only being maintained. Version 6.x still evolves as time passes. It is already pretty powerful!

Since this is a filter, you can use it to insert a node in any text area that supports filters by including the InsertNode filter in it.

It works by using the simple syntax:

[node:<node name or nid or *1

• 1. The asterisk can be used to reference the current ...

Moved the monolithic documentation to a multi-page hierarchical document that includes everything we had before plus many links, many terms attached to all pages (tags, English words.) And revision of most of the text for better English and clarification in some places.

Strengthen the formatting with CCK fields so all declarations look alike.

Broken up the actions from one large table to a set of pages.

Started work on the Load() feature of the SSWF library. This helped fixing several small mistakes in the documentation.

A filter defines how to transform the objects it is attached to. The first byte is the filter type. The data following depend on the type. Because each filter is much different, they are defined in separate structures. You can attach a filter to an object using an ActionScript or the PlaceObject3 tag.

The following describes the different filters available since version 8.

	swf_long_tag		f_tag;		/* 6, 21, 35 or 90 */

These tags define an image saved using the JPEG compression scheme.

DefineBitsJPEG (V1.0) does not include the encoding tables which are defined in the unique JPEGTables tag instead. All the DefineBitsJPEG of an SWF file use the only JPEGTables tag. Yes... This means you need a tool that is capable of reusing the same tables over and over again to make sure that all your DefineBitsJPEGs work properly (or use it just once.)

The other tags incorporate their own version of the JPEG encoding tables.

The DefineBitsJPEG3 and DefineBitsJPEG4 support an alpha channel bit plane (8 bits.) ...

It is possible to add a Table of Contents to a view that has to accept parameters1.

In this case, you do not want to use the solution of including the view in a node (with the Insert view filter, see Can't find doc_table_of_contents_for_views to include!) because then you lose the capability of assigning different parameters to your view (although, if the number of parameters is ...

• 1. Note that you need to write some PHP code. If you do not know how to do that, I'm afraid that this won't work for you. You may want to check out the Table of Contents and Insert view solution instead.

Setup

There are, I'm sure, many different ways to handle views with the Table of contents.

Here is what I think is the easiest at the moment:

1. Create a view and include a Title field (which generates a header for the title, most likely <H2>)

2. Create a node and include the view in the node using the Insert view filter1

3. Select a filter on this node that includes support for Insert views and Table of contents

4. If

• 1. Note that the Insert view filter was found to have some security issues. Use with care. The project home page has additional information about this module.

The Table of contents module is used to generate a table with a list of all the content of your pages.

The module searches for the header tags (H1 to H6) and transforms those into a list of items used in the table of contents. Note that this module does not have the capability to generate a table of contents for multiple pages. However, used with the Views module, it is possible to create pages referencing multiple sub-pages.

The features include a way to number the items either with the automatic HTML ordered list feature (OL) or with an internal system that counts the headers and generates

WYSIWYG Editors

If you are using a WYSIWYG editor, it is not unlikely to add a <p> tag at the bottom with a &nbsp; character to make sure that you can place your cursor on that last line. The problem with that is it also adds a lot of space at the bottom of your header and footer in the CuteMenu.

The best is to turn off your WYSIWYG editor whenever you edit these nodes. Since only the administrator is likely to change the header and footer of the menus, it should be just fine.
