Several times, you may have been creating views and wondered: how the heck could I add a link to my node Edit page, or if you are like me, my node Outline, Track, Convert pages on top of the Edit page.

This is actually pretty easy.

To your fields, add a Node: Nid then click the Add button at the bottom.

In the setup of the field, select Rewrite the output of this field and enter the text of the link as it should appear (i.e. 'Edit' or 'Convert'.)

Managing your own Drupal Download Site

The other day, I was thinking, it would be nice if I could find the way to manage my own download site so people who use my modules that I do not provide directly on http://drupal.org would still show as expected (i.e. Green in the update window).

I found this page about it: http://drupal.org/node/210984

This is done by creating a service in your Drupal environment. You should use the ready made script named:

1.0) CVS

1.1) Read-only CVS

The CVS tool uses a URL to connect to a server and retrieve files. If you used the default "cvs co" as defined on a site, then it is more than likely that it will create a read-only set of folders.

CVS creates a folder named CVS (all in caps, important under Unix!) That folder includes the necessary information for CVS to connect to the repository and read/write data. One of the files defined in this folder is called Root. This is where the URL is saved.

The CVS URL is composed of several parts:

I use Drupal for most of my sites. I use it in many different ways and it has been working real good for me.

On one of the sites, I use the ThemeKey module to select a different theme once you are logged in. This means, when I want to switch themes, that one theme selected for logged in users sticks, whether you disable it or not, it remains selected by the system.

And?
