I just found this great website for online shopping coupons. There are so many sites to shop at and lots of the bigger ones provide coupons which can be used for discounts and special offers.
RetailMeNot.com is a directory that keeps track of all these coupons. From now on I’m going to check RetailMeNot out for deals before checking out any online shopping carts.
I’ve been getting acquainted with Drupal lately because I’m using it as the CMS for a few client websites. Had to learn so much through trial and error and with so much headaches that I decided to start posting these Drupal tips to help me remember and to help some other Drupal newbies out there. So to kick off the many Drupal tips to come, I give you today’s tip on how to disable Pathauto for specific content types.
Why would you want to disable Pathauto for certain content types? Well, let’s say you have an About page (a Page content type) that you would like to title ‘About this site and the answer to life’. You write the page and then uncheck the Automatic Alias check box and give it the url of about and click Submit. Your page is published, hooray! But every time you edit the page you need to remember to uncheck the Automatic Alias check box or the URL will revert to whatever Pathauto pattern that has been assigned to the Page content type. This is very bad for client sites especially.
So, how to disable Pathauto for Page content types? The answer is blindingly simple - delete Pathauto’s default path pattern (content/[title-raw] by default). Then leave the Page content type pattern blank and fill in the patterns for the other content types that you want to have Pathauto generate URLs for. This way, Pathauto will not revert to the default pattern whenever you edit your Page content types.
Till the next tip!
For months I’ve been clicking IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE whenever I got a Facebook invite to “start biting chumps” through the Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies applications. I never saw the value of these apps so I never added them. But friends kept sending me invites over and over it really got on my nerves!
Today I made sure these applications would never bother me again…
I don’t know how I didn’t notice this sooner! I’ve been such a blurcase! If you’re like me, here’s how to do it.
To block an unwanted Facebook applications, simply go to its page, scroll down and look for the Block Application link at the bottom of the right sidebar. You’ll then experience the same happiness I felt when I saw the block confirmation box. Click Block and banish the application to the blocked application list for eternity!
