What are yellow pages good for?

Since I work a lot with the Internet, I often have people asking me whether the Yellow Pages are still useful...

The fact is, there are still many people using the Yellow Pages. Most advanced geek will use an online directory such as superpages.com. Yet, for certain things such as looking for a plumber, people still use the Yellow Pages.

So, how do I choose whether to have an ad in the Yellow Pages?

Simple! Take the latest Yellow Pages book you've received and look under your category and see what your competition does. If you have 1 or more full page advertiser, you bet that you have ...

Insert Node Known Issues

The following are problems that have not been resolved and will probably not be.

Tag not transformed

At times, you enter the tag as in [node:123 cck=title] and it is not converted by the filter.

There are 3 common reasons for this to append:

  1. You did not select the filter in your Input formats;
  2. You did not select the format that uses the filter in that node; or
  3. There is a syntax error in the tag.

The 3rd one is certainly the most likely explanation once you made sure that the filter was effectively selected for that node. In many cases, it will be the missing ...

Projects Similar to Insert Node

Link Node

There is a Link Node project that can be used to generate a link to a node using the node title or another user specified title.

This is similar to using the following with Insert Node:

   [node:<name> title=<my link>;]

Insert View

If you want to include a view, use the insert_view module instead.

Insert Block

If you want to include blocks in your nodes (or other blocks, scary, hey?!), use the insert_block module instead.

Insert Node Examples

To send someone back to your home page:

  You will find the necessary links on my home page: [node:home link]

To include a hidden node as a reference in a post:

  I talked about that in my post yesterday. [node:yesterday_post_name body collapsed]

To include a node from a forum or story and keep the comments:

  See below: [node:57 themed comments]

Insert Node Parameter: cck (6-1.2)

The CCK parameter let you insert one of your CCK field and some node fields that cannot otherwise be added without being themed.

We support CCK fields and several special field names as follow.

Fields that appeared after version 6-1.2 have a version specified between parenthesis (i.e. 6-1.3).

cck=field_<name>; [requires CCK]

The CCK parameter must be followed by a field name. An empty name is likely to generate an error. The name of a field that does not exist is likely to generate nothing.

For instance, if you have a field named see_also, you would write:

   cck=field_see_also;

Insert Node Parameter: collapsed (6-1.0) [no content]

Put the generated content inside a collapsible frame.

The frame is collapsed at the start.

By default, the title of the node is used as the title of the frame. You can specify (since 6-1.2) the title as the value of the parameter:

   collapsed=There is my other node, click to read it;

See Also: Insert Node Parameter: collapsible (5-1.x) [no content]

IMPORTANT NOTE

Note that the parameter value ends with a semi-colon! Do not include quotes unless you want to see them in the output. Yes. This means the text cannot include a semi-colon as is.

Insert Node Parameter: collapsible (5-1.x) [no content]

Put the generated content inside a collapsible frame.

The frame is expanded at the start.

By default, the title of the node is used as the title of the frame. You can specify (since 6-1.2) the title as the value of the parameter:

   collapsible=There is my other node;

See Also: Insert Node Parameter: collapsed (6-1.0) [no content]

WARNING

The version of the module for Drupal 5.x outputs the body whenever the collapsible parameter is used.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Note that the parameter value ends with a semi-colon! Do not include quotes unless you want to see them in the output. Yes. This means the

Insert Node Parameter: demote (6-1.2) [no content]

Demote (positive) or promote (negative) the headers found in the output before inserting it into your node.

This is useful if you want to include a complete node that has an H1 title, H2 sub-titles, etc. and make these sub-titles of your current page, maybe starting at H3 (i.e. using "... demote=2; ..." in your tag.)

By default, the value of this parameter is expected to be 1. To change the value use the following syntax:

   demote=<integer>;

The integer can be negative, in which case it promotes the headers (i.e. H3 can be changed to H1 using "... demote=-2; ...

Insert Node Parameter: link (5-1.0)

Display the title of the node as a link to the node, unthemed.

With version 6.x-1.1, it is possible to change the link to a text that you specify as in:

   link=Read more about that in yesterday's post!;

CSS Class: span.insert-node-link

Theme: InsertNode_link

See Also: Insert Node Parameter: edit (6-1.2), Insert Node Parameter: more (6-1.1)

IMPORTANT NOTE

Note that the parameter value ends with a semi-colon! Do not include quotes unless you want to see them in the output. Yes. This means the text cannot include a semi-colon as is.

Insert Node Parameter: more (6-1.1)

Display the words "Read more..." with a link to the node, unthemed.

Useful when just the teaser or the title are being shown.

The text "Read more..." can be changed by specifying a string after the parameter like this:

    more=Lire la suite...;

CSS Class: span.insert-node-more

Theme: InsertNode_more

See Also: Insert Node Parameter: link (5-1.0)

IMPORTANT NOTE

Note that the parameter value ends with a semi-colon! Do not include quotes unless you want to see them in the output. Yes. This means the text cannot include a semi-colon as is.
