Keep it simple ….

One thing that drives me crazy about Drupal, is that it’s tough for one to find the right documentation or support “easily”.

Anyways .. found these good links to the recording of DrupalCon :-

Audio and Video (torrent files)

I was playing around with drupal recently, when I kinda stumbled on this problem :-

“I want to have a site which is more like an information site, and I don’t want any user registration on my site. So I won’t have user login block on my main page. But I do want to change the themes, manage content etc, and therefore I need a way to do an admin login.”

This is what I did :-

Goto the block management on your site , and disable the user login from the left side bar.

Leave the Navigation block intact.

Now log out of the site.

You don’t see the user login block on your site anymore.

To login to your site, you can use a link like :-

http://localhost/tabletesting/?q=user/login

PS: This might change if you are using clean URLs on your Drupal site.

OK … probably not something great … but I just found this interesting and useful for a novice who won’t open the user module and look at the hook_menu implementation and then discover that this is what he needs to do .

I always found basecamp very interesting (specially when it comes to it’s history regarding Ruby and Rails), but the cost factor kinda always rang a bell. Until recently I found a very promising alternative to it. Try using ActiveCollab
