If you try to access a Drupal page without proper permission, you will be redirected to default 403 access denied page. But if you have enabled the Redirect 403 to User Login module, you will be redirected to the user login page with destination set to the path which you wanna access.

Drupal 7 – Modify the internal/system path of Taxonomy Terms
The default path of taxonomy term is taxonomy/term/[term-id]. Although we can now use term alias in Drupal 7, we may still want to change the internal path with a specific pattern. For example, i want to replace all the term page by a view which has term id as input parameter. In that case, i want to set the path of all terms to my-term-view/[term-id] instead of taxonomy/term/[term-id]. This could be done by using the Entity Path module.

Drupal 7 – Show page not found if view argument exists
Assume we have a Views page which does not have a contextual filter setting and the view path is /eureka. If you provide an argument in the url such as /eureka/abc, the argument is ignored and the Views page will return all view rows. But sometimes we may want to show the user a page not found instead of return all rows. This can be done by adding a Global: Null argument in the contextual filter.

BeansTag update
If you have no idea about BeansTag, please refer to BeansTag – The SEO tool for Drupal 7
Although BeansTag is not going to be approved as a Drupal 7 module, i still added some features to it as requested by the BeansTag users. But before i talk about the new features, i want to clarify a BeansTag concept
BeansTag depends directly on the url path.
For example, a node with nid = 1 has an url alias articles/abc, you can create 2 different BeansTags with the following paths.
- node/1
- articles/abc
Drupal 7 – Use queues for long running tasks in cron
Sometimes we may need to run some complex and time consuming tasks in Drupal cron but this may result in request timeout. It’s better to setup cron queues and run them in parallel requests.
Yesterday we have setup a hook_cron() task for batch updating nodes.
