That title is a bit "the house that Jack built" so let me explain what this is about. Let's say you have a Drupal website and you're using CCK to hold some piece of data or content. Let's also say you want to have a block which takes that CCK field's content and adds it to a link (which could be internal or external). This is one way to do that.

First, ensure your CCK field has been created. You'll also need Views, so install that.

Now create a new View with a block display.

Click on the plus symbol to add a "Field", scroll down to find your CCK field and click Add.

HTML, sure...CSS, yup...PHP, not so much.

Since I don't put any energy into learning PHP, I like finding snippets of code that I can easily tweak and post to a website. Below is a PHP script which will randomly choose a YouTube video (from a list of videos you place in a file) and display it on a webpage.

Full disclosure: CMS Quick Start provided me with the theme at no charge in exchange for the review. I was not asked to do anything other than write an honest review of their product, and everything below is exactly that, my honest opinion.

Michelle probably thinks I'm a little crazy for building so many websites.

Recently I launched vermontbusiness.com (and even though Michelle thinks I'm crazy, she's helping me!). The goal of the site is to be a resource for Vermont residents and visitors to find lodging, shopping venues (malls, retail shops, local favorites), recreation (skiing, golf) and a good deal more. Currently, it's a tad sparse. Not many businesses are listed, but everything is functional, from maps to reviews.

So, if you own or are looking for a Vermont Business, please visit the site and provide some feedback. Use the contact form on the site to send me your business' address and details on what you sell or provide.
