Two modules that any Drupal website designer will need to know to build a solid Drupal site. One is CCK (Content Construction Kit) and the other is View module. These two modules are complementary. CCK allows one to build new content type, while View allow one to display the content type in a specific manner.

Below is a video on how to use View module. The demo in the video was not quite systematic. For those who have used View module before, it is a good refreshment to learn a few more new tricks.

Below is a video on how you can display rss feeds to your Drupal website through the Drupal’s core feed aggregator. The problem with the Drupal’s core feed aggregator is that I can’t find an easy way to style those feeds the way I would like to show them on my content region.

When you install Drupal, you will be recommended to increase your memory limit to 16M and turn off the global register.

To do that, copy the following lines on the php.ini and upload to your Drupal root directory

register_globals = off
memory_limit = 16M

That’s it.
