Creating Custom Lists Using Nodequeue

Submitted by learnbythedrop on Sun, 02/28/2010 - 12:07

The Nodequeue module is an incredibly useful module that allows you select individual nodes and place them in a list in whatever order you like. This lesson shows you how to create a new nodequeue, add nodes to the queue, arrange the queue and then add the queue to a view.

Re: Creating Custom Lists Using Nodequeue

Is there something to do on nodequeue or additional module that will provide scheduling of post. For example I put a post in nodequeue on a certain period say 2-Mar-10 to 10-Mar-10. The post will en-queue and de-queue automatically.

At 1:08 into it you say "select different modules," instead of select different nodes.

Re: Creating Custom Lists Using Nodequeue

This is a fantastic module. One of those modules whose functionality is so simple yet effective that it will no doubt become a standard download in the same way in which views and CCK have.

However, I'm actually quite pleased that this wasn't around when I first got into Drupal - Why? Well, back then I was forced to define content types and taxonomy in a well thought out manner in order to generate the pages which I wanted to via views. This has left me will a very maintainable system.

If Node Queue ad been around at that time I have a sneaking suspicion that I would have ended up with one or two content types and I would have resorted to adding nodes to queues manually rather than using taxonomy and node types to form queries via views.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that people should use this module, but in moderation.
