I am very, very impressed with Semantic Views http://drupal.org/project/semanticviews

Just because you CAN overwrite views template files... doesn't mean you always want to. Or I should say there are times when all of the mark-up just isn't needed, or just a little more would be nice. When Views 2 gave us the ability to re-write the markup of the field... I was very happy... Now, thanks to bangpound and a video (http://adaptivethemes.com/semantic-views-module-for-drupal-6-video-tutorial) by the incredible Jeff Burnz... I have a new fav module of the moment.

o.k. it's not just for Drupal 6, but it makes the title sound so much better :)

I was hard at work on a recent website when I came across an interesting issue, you see I wanted to use a primary menu at the top as main navigation for the website. No dropdowns or anything fancy, just a smooth top horizontal navigation bar.

Additionally, I have a different menu (could one of several options) displayed along the right side based on the content being shown. Now I want my primary menu to display as 'active' when I am somewhere deep within the site on a page that the primary menu has no idea about. So, I want my primary navigation menu item to be active, even tho it has no idea what page I am on.

Am I the only one that wants a t-shirt that says "I Don't Support IE6"? Let's face it, not many people would get it, and I would just give the impression that I am a negative person. The fact is... I am a realist, and IE6 is going to be around for a while longer, at least long enough for me to keep finding newer better stronger ways to work around troublesome browser.

Getting images to play nicely is not always easy. A content management system like Drupal has so many advantages, and so many options, and so many ideas. The options around images is no joke. Lots of options, lots of solutions, and benefits to many different choices. This blogthingee is to discuss one of those options, specifically, displaying images inline in Drupal 6.

I spent a good deal of time working with views carousel in Drupal 6 yesterday. There is a great screencast at Mustardseed Media to help you hit the ground running. Before starting, please remember that you need the jcarousel module if you want it to work at all.
