There are many famous drupal sites out there. This is a showcase of drupal sites that you can check and see for yourself what the CMS can actually do.

Pathauto and greek characters

| | |

Pathauto is a very usefull drupal module, that automatically generates path aliases for drupal nodes, based on their title. Unfortunately, it does not work with greek character. To be precise, it *can* work, if you use the i18n-ascii.txt file, which will transform the greek characters to latin. Propably that is not what you want though, so here is a version of pathauto that handles greek characters in a more usefull way. Additionaly this version will always cut the title on a delimiter and not in the middle of a word.

Settings per File Types

| | |

In Vi Improved, you can conveniently have different settings per file type.

for example when you are working with perl files, you need a tabstop at 8 lines and a mapping in <F5> that comments out the current line using a # at the beggining, while in c files, you need comments with /* .. */ and a tabstop at 4 characters.

Mappings

| | |

In Vim you can map keys to do several functions. For example you can:

map <F3> :!lpr %^M

To print the current file
(to enter <F3> simply press the function key, to enter ^M press <ctrl-v><enter> )

Usefull Settings

:set ruler
