Hackable URLs in Drupal using Pathauto and Views

in

Hackable URLs (also known as index aliases) are a great feature of many sites. You can achieve these in Drupal using a combination of Pathauto and Views.

Note that the Breadcrumbs are somewhat incorrect in the video. This was due to an oversight in creating the view. If the view included a "Page Title" or used the "Page Title" field for the Arguments.

New features in Drupal 6 - i18n and l10n special show

in

Three more videos I made cover some of the exciting enhancements in Drupal 6:

  • New features in Drupal6 21 minute movie showing many of the wonderful new features available in Drupal6 and how to use them. Highlights include OpenID, a quick review of i18n/l10n, some of the performance enhancements, the installer, actions and triggers, and the menu system among other features.
  • i18n and l10n in Drupal6 which really digs into the topic of internationalization using Drupal6. This is one of the major features in Drupal6 and should really help Drupal be the default choice for people who need multilingual sites.

The i18n/l10n video is available in two parts. All three videos are available from MasteringDrupal.com
