I was looking for a guide like this.. Thanks!

| erFQayhz Cats killing dogs
How can I grab the part for the URL and the other for the title. obviously can't put them in two separate .txt files or else the title and video would be different.. I'm stumped here.. as I know little about php.
This is excellent guide, i think this is the must follow guide for a beginner of drupal. Its very helpful and can make work effective and better also...
Double check to make sure you have the file in the right location. I've seen on some servers you have to put everything up to /public_html, but on the servers I have I do not include any folders before public_html
So, if a file location is:
/home/gkjtvbxc/domains/hackkings.com/public_html/videos/videos.txt
all I would actually place in the file location is:
/videos/videos.txt
Warning: file(/videos.txt) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gkjtvbxc/domains/hackkings.com/public_html/video.php on line 3
Warning: array_rand() [function.array-rand]: First argument has to be an array in /home/gkjtvbxc/domains/hackkings.com/public_html/video.php on line 4
and if i make $file = '/videos.txt'; To $file = 'videos.txt';
thane is it white!
Thanks for trying. I think I know what's going on, and it's something I neglected to place in the post.
To get this to work you must have php as the file extension for the page the code is on. So in your example, you'll want the page to be video.php (not video.html).
Give that a shot and report back if you're successful.
Recently purchased "Magazine Plus" for a client that had some reskinning requirements. I was amazed at how it worked out of the box. "Magazine Plus" (and I think their other templates) are based on Drupal install themes and come with sample data and necessary modules already configured. Installed, it looks identical to the demo. Reskinning the site was VERY easy, as all the code is well organized. Very reasonable price considering the amount of work that was already done for me.
You can see the final product here:

Thanks for including our theme in your reviews. We pride ourselves on providing our customers with fast, friendly support.
Also, we are constantly trying to learn more about what our customers need from our themes in terms of functionality, look and feel, etc.
If you don't mind I have a few questions for you (or anyone who happens to read this - the more feedback the better!)
1) What types of themes do you need to use for your sites? Social Network, E-Commerce, Real Estate, News & Publishing, Blog, Company/Business? What do you need and how do you intend to use it?
2) As an end user and site admin would you prefer us to use existing Drupal modules to provide functionality or would you prefer we create our own custom modules instead?
3) If we were to supply an installation profile for each theme this would obviously make it easier to set up. How important is having an installation profile in determining which theme to purchase?
Again, thank you for the review. We've got some awesome things in store for ThemeSnap over the next year so we'd appreciate it if you could come back to review us again!
Thank you for this, it's very helpful. I am considering purchasing a Themesnap theme, "Magazine Plus." Have you had the opportunity to check out any Themesnap offerings since this post was written?
Yes the directv problem also occurred to me. Then one of my friends told me about this site. Thank you for sharing the problem and also providing the solution. It helped me a lot.

The goal wasn't to keep them out of the index, it was to pass PageRank to other pages that may have been sent through those links. This is now not affective since Matt Cutts announced the change in how PageRank is handled with nofollow links.
actually, adding rel="nofollow" to those links is completely unneeded since those paths are already in robots.txt
all search engines etc. will follow those instructions and thus never even visit those pages
if you add an alias to those pages, just add them to robots.txt yourself and search engines won't visit them.
see for an example: http://www.dandurick.com/robots.txt and http://drupal.org/robots.txt
I have followed steps for "Adding nofollow to 'Create new account' and 'Request new password' Links", but they are still regular dofollow links. Any idea why is that?
I thought maybe it didn't work because I have absolute internal urls across the site, so I tried this also:
$items[] = l(t('Create new account'), 'http://webmasterformat.com/user/register', array('attributes' => array('title' => t('Create a new user account.'), 'rel' => t('nofollow'))));
}
$items[] = l(t('Request new password'), 'http://webmasterformat.com/user/password', array('attributes' => array('title' => t('Request new password via e-mail.'), 'rel' => t('nofollow'))));
But the final result is still unchanged. The links are without rel="nofollow".
Dan,
I signed up for DirecTV in January and have had nothing but problems with them. If you go on the company's website, they have user forums which (amazingly) detail tons of user problems in cold areas. Nice of them to provide a method for people to complain about them. Apparantly, some of the new slimline dishes have faulty LNB's - the things that point at the satellites. These LNB's tend to stop working below a certain temperature, say 15 degrees. People who have called customer service have had varying degrees of success in having it fixed. In some cases, DirecTV claims to have no knowledge of said problem. In others, the representative said that they know all about the problem and that they are working to replace the faulty units with ones made in Germany. In my case, I had service installed on 1/13 and it stopped working on 1/15 (during the really cold snap). I was told that they'd be out to fix it on 2/3, which was unacceptable to me (3 weeks?) Through ample phone calls and a complaint to the VT Attorney Generals' office, I was able to get them to come on 1/23. They need to come back to install the new LNB (which the tech knows all about) as it is on back order. In the meantime, the service is working. On really cold days I heat up a towl in the dryer and throw it on the LNB (seriously) and I regain signal. Why would DirecTV knowingly install these faulty units in cold climates? Financially, I think they will make it "square" with me, but that's besides the point. If I continue to have issues, I will use your newly posted President's form. Thanks,
Ken Y.

A review of Themesnap is coming soon, along with forDrupal.
Should be up by end of '09.
Thank you for this, it's very helpful. I am considering purchasing a Themesnap theme, "Magazine Plus." Have you had the opportunity to check out any Themesnap offerings since this post was written?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
(FYI I think they've lowered their prices a bit.)

You may need to clear your cache in Drupal. Go to Performance and scroll down to Clear Cache.
It has to do with my familiarity with nodewords. Other modules may work just as well.
The goal wasn't to keep them out of the index, it was to pass PageRank to other pages that may have been sent through those links. This is now not affective since Matt Cutts announced the change in how PageRank is handled with nofollow links.
Could you please talk about your choice of the nodewords module rather than Integrated Metatags (/project/int_meta)?
Cheers
Miriam
