Because of the way Drupal is structured, it is very fexible in adapting to the needs of a wide range of different web sites. Permission to perform various actions such as creating content, writing a comment, writing a blog post and so on can all be assigned to different roles within Drupal, be it the role of an administrative user or the role of a standard user who is logged in. This means we can grant the permissions to contribute and help in managing the content of the web site to the users of the web site.

Image cache is one of the most powerful module.You can just do anything from this module for example: watermarks,scale,crop,overlay and many others.
Here Iam going to tell how to use image cache.
You simply need to install a module of image cache and enable them,after enabling the module create a image preset and add a action named round corners in that and specify the radius suppose 16px,17px or what ever it suits you.
Save preset and refresh to have output

Sparxsys Solutions has made live another project .

This is a static website that has been build for skin treatment and hair treatment.
though it is a static website still it have modules like cck and view which helps out is showing various products of company medkare.
On Homepage you will find rich graphical Slider and three various products. It also have a company profile at sidebar.

Today we will share how to create a simple block view to display the comments. Though Drupal offers a predefined block for comments but at many times you may need to create your own block with custom fields and filters.

To create a comment views
1.First you need to create a View with all the fields of comment as preferred.

2.The main concepts comes into the filter portion, you can add a filter of comment body

3.Then when you click on add option it shows (is equal to) and a text box that should be done is (not equal to) > empty body(empty text box)...

These days I am working on my other site www.ggsipu.info to build the database of all the colleges affiliated to GGSIPU. I created a Custom Content Type to have various fields like college address, phone, fax, email, rating, etc. During the counselling time the students wants to compare various colleges based on various parameters like infrastructure, campus and other things. Now I wanted to create a view where a table is shown with the names of the colleges in the header and these parameters on rows.

This views snippet allows you to render a tableview with columns and rows switched. Suppose you have the following output:

Title | Price 1 | Price 2
----------------------------
Node #1 | $10 | $20
Node #2 | $15 | $25


but what you really want is the node titles displayed in the header, and the prices as the rows:


| Node #1 | Node #2
----------------------------
Price 1 | $10 | $15
Price 2 | $20 | $25


I created a view table, but obviously it showed the college names in the rows as it is the dynamic part. I searched around a lot on drupal and google and found this amazing piece of code that transpose the rows/columns.

You just need to replace YOURTHEME with the name of the theme and VIEWNAME with the view name and that's it!
