Yesterday we have talked about how to use selection list for selecting Entity reference in Views exposed filter.
Drupal 7 – Selection list for Entity reference in Views exposed filter
Now i want to have more control on the selection list. For example, i have a content type called competition and i want to limit the number of options in the Entity reference selection list. In this case, we have to create a custom module and alter the views_exposed_form.
Continue reading Drupal 7 – Customize the exposed filter selection list
When you want to set an Entity reference field in Views exposed filter, it only allows free text input filter. But i want to have a selection list instead of a free text input.

In Drupal 6, the default <front> page has the path /node which will list out the latest nodes. Although we could point the <front> page to another path, the /node page is still accessible.
Create a custom module and add the following piece of code would help redirecting /node page back to the <front> page.
/**
* Implementation of hook_menu_alter().
*/
function YOUR_MODULE_NAME_menu_alter(&$items) {
$items['node']['page callback'] = '_internal_custom_function_name_here_redirect_to_frontpage';
}
/**
* Redirect back to the frontpage for specific pages.
*/
function _internal_custom_function_name_here_redirect_to_frontpage() {
if($_GET['q'] == 'node') {
$_REQUEST['destination'] = "<front>";
drupal_goto();
}
}
I haven’t tried it in Drupal 7, please let me know if you have any idea.
Done =)
Reference: disable the default node page

For developers, the Flippy module which i mentioned might be not flexible enough.
Drupal 7 – Display Previous and Next node links on node view using Flippy module
Then you could consider another module called Previous/Next API. With this module, you can add the previous and next node links in any preprocess functions, template.php or module files using the API functions provided by this module.
Another advantage is that it caches all the links in its own database table which could speed up the query and this also reduces the database loading. Let’s see how this module work.
