In this tutorial I will show you how to set up a news feed using the Views module.

To learn how to create a contact form with CAPTCHA, watch the video linked in this article.

A product catalog is implemented in many CMSs, and Drupal is no exception. You can use ready-made solutions such as Ubercart, e-Commerce, or another module that implements a catalog in Drupal. However, these modules may have more functionality than you need. A catalog can also be created using CCK (to create the product content type), Taxonomy (to categorize products), and Views (to display the products).

Let's return to our product catalog, which we created in one of the previous lessons. The catalog is being filled successfully and is more or less displayed correctly, but ordering a product through the contact form is rather inconvenient — you have to copy the name, product code, then paste it into the form and write a message. Let's create a form that simplifies the ordering process. For this, we will need the Webform module, which is used for creating forms in Drupal.

To update jQuery to version 1.4, 1.5, or 1.6 in Drupal, you first need to install the jQuery_update module. This module updates the jQuery version to 1.3.2, which is generally sufficient for various banners, carousels, and creating visual effects. However, in later versions of jQuery, functions for working with AJAX have changed. So, once you've installed jQuery_update, go to the module folder, copy the jQuery file into the replace folder, and make sure the filename includes the version number, for example: jquery-1.5.2.js.

The new toolbar module certainly looks better than admin menu. But I like admin menu because I can add as many links as I want and they are ALL accessible with a single mouse click.
That's why I want to use admin menu. I install it and see garbled characters... Encoding problems.
Let's open the .htaccess file and add the following line at the end:

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

Now everything looks fine, I see Russian characters, but... There is no "Add content" link, we need to add it manually. To do this, create your own module and add the following code:
