CVS For Themers

At this year's Drupalcon in Washington D.C., lots of Drupal themers got together and tried to identify the major stumbling blocks that allow us to use the CMS (and it's community tools) effectively. One that was mentioned over and over was the CVS system which is required if you want to contribute anything back to the Drupal community.

Calendar Module

On this week's podcast, Bob gives you another option, besides Event Module for doing event listings in Drupal. This solution focuses on the Calendar and Date modules.

Creating Variables

On this week's Mustardseed podcast, Bob returns from his holiday hiatus to show you how to make new variables available in your theme template files. This will help you clean up your theme templates and get used to doing all theme logic in the template.php file. Don't forget to check out the options for template_preprocess!

Static Theme Conversion

On this week's podcast, Bob tackles one of the most asked questions: How do I convert a static html/css template into a Drupal 6 theme? We cover the basics in about 10 minutes but it's just the tip of the iceburg. (forgive Bob for his scatterbrained approach...not enough coffee before recording today...)

Views Theming

On this week's podcast, Bob addresses something that lots of you have asked about in the past few weeks: Views theming! He'll talk about when and when not to use Views theming and what, exactly, you're trying to accomplish when you use it. All on this week's Mustardseed Media video podcast!

Build A Video Gallery

On this week's podcast Bob shows you how to create a video gallery from start to finish...all in the span of about 8 minutes. The method shown is perfect if you don't want to get your hands dirty with hosting your own files, wrestling with ffmpeg, or worrying about huge bandwidth bills. This tutorial is all about using the CCK plugin called Embedded Media Field. We mash that content together with Views and we're watching video on our website in no time.

Theming User Profiles

On this week's Mustardseed Media Video Podcast, Bob gives you the basics on how to theme user profiles using Drupal's core Profile Module. He talks about print_r, the $account variable, and puzzles over why the user-profile.tpl.php doesn't mention a crucial element. All this week!

Views Carousel

On this week's Mustardseed Media Podcast, Bob shows off another module commissioned by Mustardseed. It's the Views Carousel Module for Drupal 6 (and Views 2). This module is a cool way to spice up your site without having to write any custom javascript. Also, don't forget, this can be used on more than just images...it can show any data that Views can spit out in a carousel format!

Podcast With Drupal 6

In this week's episode, Bob tackles FileField Podcast module and shows you how to Podcast with Drupal 6 (and without audio.module). This approach gives us lots of flexibility because it's purely a CCK/Views setup. What's that? Bob already covered this topic? True, but with the change in the Views API, FileField Podcast module had to change as well, so this is an updated version that shows you how to build your views with a new method and greater flexibility.

Pathauto

On this week's episode we talk a little philosophical about assuring that your site architecture is reflected in your content URLs (and why this is good for your site visitors). Then, we dig in and make it happen automatically using the Pathauto module in Drupal.

SWF Tools

In this week's episode, Bob has changed his ways. He no longer robs liquor stores, beats up little kids, or uses the jQuery Media module to display podcast audio and video on his websites. Instead, he shows how awesome, flexible, and easy SWFTools is to implement. All on this week's Mustardseed video podcast!

Imagefield and Imagecache

On this week's Mustardseed Video Podcast, Bob shows you how to deal with images in your CCK content types. There's always a million ways to skin a cat in Drupal, but this method has been consistant and maintained nicely over time. He couples Imagefield with Imagecache to get some simple image handling in as a CCK field.

Module Theming

On this week's episode, Bob tries to extend your theming chops by moving beyond the typical page.tpl.php or node.tpl.php theming techniques and explores the often-untouched land of module theming. Understanding how to theme module output in Drupal 6 will go a long way towards making your sites more customized and beautiful than they could be before.

On this week's podcast, Bob shows that he's fallen in love with yet another Drupal module. This time, it's the Block Theme Module. This week you'll see how the module works and how it makes it so very easy to make all your blocks look differently by throwing one convenient switch in the Drupal UI. It's more Drupal goodness...Enjoy!

Views Rotator Module

On this week's episode, Bob is proud to demo a new module planned and designed by us here at Mustardseed and coded by our good pal at Innovating Tomorrow. The Views Rotator Module makes creating a javascript rotator of any Views generated content extremely easy. We're excited about it and we hope you are too once you see how easy it is to use!

Custom Drupal Homepages

On today's podcast, Bob answers a viewer's question which is also one of the big mysteries to beginning Drupal-ers: "How do I create a custom homepage other than Drupal's default 'river of news' style display?"
