Drupal 5: fix comment permalinks with pagination
having done some more work on making Drupal Froums look nice and work more like a forum, I noticed a potential bug in the way Drupal handles pagination on comments. If you have a node with many comments and you have enabled comment pagination, you will notice:
- After posting a comment in, you are redirected back to page 1, on a multipaged forum topic this is really annoying.
- Permalinks to comments do not work because the comment_form_submit does not pass in the query (page number)
- Changing the comments per page will generate a different permalink for each comment, without creating a dedicated callback and redirecting the user to the specific post (comment/permalink/comment_ID), there doesnt seem to be a fix for this
It is easy enough to redirect the user to (node/NODE_NID?page=PAGE_ID#COMMENT_ID) after a comment gets submitted. Here is what I did:
Drupal 5 - Disable FCKEditor per content type
Anyone using the Drupal module for FCKEditor can tell you the number of times its made their life easier. Install and configure it and you have yourself an instant (and FREE) WYSIWYG HTML Editor.
I mentioned in my previous posts, I am currently working on making Drupal Forums look and function like PHPBB. Having installed the superb Smileys Module by Gurpartap Singh I noticed FCKEditor was breaking the Smilie insertion on the nodepages.
Adding Custom Breadcrumb for Drupal nodes
Out of the box Drupal does not add breadcrumb to node pages, in most situations this is not a problem until recently, I had decided to install the excellent Drupal Forums module on one of the work websites. It quickly became apparent that a forum without a logical breadcrumb is not as user friendly, so here is what I wanted in the breadcrumb:
- Link to Home (Only item Drupal adds by default)
- Link to content type view, eg, Forums Home page, Blog Home page etc
- Links to nested taxonomy terms the node is tagged with
