- Get_Content_Type (1) - The get_content_type module fills an oversight by the D5 developers.

This simple module provides that function.
This module has not been contributed due to disparaging comments from more advanced Drupallers.

- Glossary (25) - The glossary module scans content for glossary terms (including synonyms). The glossary indicator is inserted after every found term, or the term itself is turned into an indicator, depending on the site settings. By hovering over the indicator, users will see the definition of that term displayed as a "tool tip." Clicking the indicator leads the user to that term presented within the whole glossary or directly to the detailed description of the term, if available.

- Gotcha (8) - Gotcha intercepts the Contact form submission and checks an inserted hidden field to catch spambots. If something is there, Gotcha simply returns to the front page and ignores the message. The attempt is logged and saved in the database. If the field is empty, then the message is scanned by the Spam module, which has very good filters for catching spam. If everything looks okay, the message is passed on through to the Contact module for normal processing.

Hey Nancy,
This is fabulous - nearly exactly what I'm trying to achieve... but I don't see the actual code snippet anywhere? Am I missing something?
thanks.
Hmm...
<?php
$vid = 1; // <---- put correct vocabulary ID here
$terms = taxonomy_get_tree($vid);
$items = array();
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$count = taxonomy_term_count_nodes($term->tid);
// Note: the number of nodes selected per term is controlled by 'feed_default_items' from the RSS publishing settings page.
$result = taxonomy_select_nodes(array($term->tid), 'or', 0, FALSE, 'n.sticky DESC, n.created DESC');
$children = array();
while ($node = db_fetch_object($result)) {
$children[] = node_view(node_load($node->nid), TRUE, FALSE, FALSE);
}
$items[] = array(
'data' => l($term->name,'taxonomy/term/'.$term->tid)." (".$count.") - ".$term->description,
'children' => $children,
);
}
return theme('item_list', $items);
?>
i18n
Hi Nancy and others,
How do we make this piece of code have support for localization ?
All my category terms are translated via strings on the Localization moduleAn add-on, or extension, to Drupal to provide additional functionality; written in PHP. and i'm also using "Translations Block" that comes with the Internationalization (i18n) moduleAn add-on, or extension, to Drupal to provide additional functionality; written in PHP. to change languages "on queue".
But the "Nancy block" always shows terms in English.
i18n
I believe this has been opened as an issue against i18n.
Thanks!
Elegant. Appreciate all the ideas and code you are sharing here - really nice.
