This module provides flexible voting widgets for nodes and comments. Administrators can add multiple widgets. By default, there are 6 widget types to choose from: Thumbs up Thumbs up / down Fivestar Emotion (this makes me mad, angry...) Yes / no Custom By using "custom" you can customize the rating buttons and Voting API mode. Widget types can be extended by other modules. Other features include: Views integration Nodes get an extra tab with voting results per widget, which shows: Total vote count Average rating Total points (for thumbs up / down) Vote count per button Chart of vote count per button, per day Multiple ratings on the same node (i.e. for "comfort", "location", "services" etc.) Voting can be closed at a configurable period after node creation Start- and enddates can be configured per node, per widget - DrupalEasy

he final Drupal 7 is near and … "Drupal 5 will no longer be supported or receive security updates, and you will need to update your Drupal 5 sites to Drupal 6 at that time." http://drupal.org/handboo... The end of this support is a strategic problem for some people. Especially if a Drupal service company tries to get a big investment in a big Drupal project. Our goal is some kind of Drupal-Core-LTS and a lot of example.module-LTS like ubuntu server LTS. Especially all the Drupal service companies which are already doing a lot of LTS-work for their clients are invited to concentrate their work. - DrupalEasy

Possible site of the week. Submitted by Michael J. Ross. " I recently finished a major Drupal site, for North County Health Services (NCHS), which provides primary health care services to low-income people in north San Diego County: http://www.nchs-health.org/. That could be a nice showcase candidate. The site incorporates a workflow system to allow different departments to manage changes to the site, and it also integrates CiviCRM, so the staff members can contact past donors and potential donors, as well as announce community events and services provided by NCHS. One challenging aspect of the project was retaining much of the design of the legacy site it replaced, and merging it into the Drupal starter theme. I also added an image slideshow on the homepage using jQuery." - DrupalEasy

The intent of this module is to provide an API that describes the relationships between Drupal entities. For example: comments <--> nodes nodes <--> authors terms <--> nodes files <--> users files <--> nodes Some of these relationships are hard-coded properties of an entity; for example, nodes have an author, a creation date, and a last updated date. Other relationships exist because of field values; putting a filefield on a node type creates a relationship between file entities and node type entities. An entity_reference module could explicitly define relationships between entities. This module treats entity relationships as an entity. Types of relationships are bundles. Each bundle describes the predicate of an RDF triple; the two entites are the subject and object. Entity relationship type = SUBJECT + PREDICATE + OBJECT Node author relationship = node + creator + user Taxonomy field relationship = blog post + is tagged with + some term - DrupalEasy

the ability to quickly find the module you are looking for without having to rely on the browser's search feature When tabs is enabled via the Module Filter's settings page, a new module layout theme is implemented. This tab layout provides a tab for each package as well as a tab that will show every module alphabetically. The filter textfield is available on each tab - DrupalEasy

<esi:include src="http://example.com/block/1" /> No real work to add this to the page. Then what happens in Varnish is that it will see this and do a second request to the web server to get this block. And if there are a few of these in the page it will do these all at the same time, giving us parallel building of the page and hopefully make rendering time of the page much smaller. - DrupalEasy
