I have been using Front page

I have been using Front page module and notice that once the page is edited any code outside the body tag is removed so no , this makes the page break in IE and will not vaildate with W3C. Any thoughts on a missing setting somewhere within Drupal?

Thorough and nicely written

Thorough and nicely written article. Very helpful to the newbies of Drupal.
Anyways, sometimes I use page-front.tpl.php or Advanced front page module (http://drupal.org/project/front). They are also very useful to get your homepage customized according to your (or your client's!) needs.

Thanks for the valuable article.

Should I develop it as a separate project?

If there isn't something already like that out there then, yes. There is value in having a completely blank theme, particularly if you make it easy (by providing .tpl.php files) to build upon it.

And even if you don't make it public, it's still a worthwhile coding exercise.

Yes, Views is an awesome tool for creating customized "views" of Drupal content.

I am using the Video module, with the "recent videos" (tracker) view as the site's front page.

Another request I get frequently is to remove all the menus and breadcrumbs and stuff to make certain pages look like plain vanilla html pages.

So I stripped the barebones Framework theme even more to create a blank theme

The admin is still enabled, and could also be set with Admin Theme.

I attached a screenshot, with only the Devel switch user showing in the footer (in lieu of a login form during development... yes, you could still go to the /user page, but this is fine for now) The Flash is imported from client's web site in a node with an iframe...

It's not completely stripped, but goes quite a way. I proposed including it in the Framework distro, the Framework maintainer sees no need for it.

Should I develop it as a separate project?

Most of the same

Most of the same instructions apply for DP 6 - views is set up very differently though. In 6 views comes with a recent posts view so you don't have to create one yourself. You can also adjust the default view so it leaves out the first 3 posts that you have already displayed.

Am not going to update this

Am not going to update this for Drupal six until Views is properly released, and when I have some free time of course.

Hi jrockford. Is this a problem with Views that you're experiencing? If you haven't worked out a way around it you might need to raise a Support Request. Also have a look through the existing ones, see if anyone else is seeing the same problem.

Sorry I can't offer more help.

I did everything the article

jrockford — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 23:15:50 +0000

I did everything the article stated and I cannot get the field group or the filter group or the sort group to let me add anything. Everything is enabled as far as I know.
