Submitted by learnbythedrop on Sun, 06/19/2011 - 21:04

In this lesson I show you how you can use the Drush script to streamline Drupal site administration. Drush is a command line interface for your site that allows you to enter short codes to perform a wide variety of site administration tasks including downloading and installing modules, updating modules, updating core, clearing the site cache and much more. Although I don't show you how to install Drush in this lesson you can see a good video on installing Drush at the Level Ten Design blog. The installation of Drush begins at about the five minute mark.

New Look To Views In Drupal 7

Submitted by learnbythedrop on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 10:43

There are many new features in Drupal 7. For many one of the most notable enhancements will be the changes to the Views module. First of all, in Drupal 7 Views requires the Chaos Tools Suite in order to function properly. There are also changes to the process of creating views and to the interface. I have spent a little time working with Views on D7 and I think that the changes are a nice step forward in terms of usability.

As you can see in the image below when you create a new view you are presented with a host of very basic options that allow you to create a basic view very fast. For the example I set it up to display a page that lists links to the Page content type. I have also chosen to create a block along with the page view.
