Channel functionality
Sat, 09/05/2009 - 03:42
Hi,
I'm developing a website for a newspaper using drupal and I met Prosepoint. I'd really like to know if it's possible to put/install the channel functionality under a drupal project, I've looked around but I have not found anything useful.
Thanks!

Hmmm ... unless you want for pay (for us or someone else) to develop the ProsePoint channels module into a generic Drupal module. Not sure if this is within the scope of your consideration or not.

Hi beng!
well, actually I suppose that I'll check and see if it's really what I need and, if so, I can try to extract that feature by myself. If you have any suggest, you're welcome!

Views
Hi,
The scheduling is done via a Views view, so you can probably do something similar yourself (with some code to glue it all together). If you can read PHP code, you might want to look at how pp_ch.module invokes a view as part of the computation.
Hi,
From a technical viewpoint, this is definitely possible. From an administrative and support viewpoint, it's tricky and we don't support it. It requires the user to have some knowledge of how Drupal's CCK module works and wouldn't be easy to understand for people new to ProsePoint/Drupal. We don't have the resources to handle the support for this.
But if you know what you're doing, you're welcome to give it a try. You could start by copying the ProsePoint-specific modules into your own Drupal installation, and then create the relevant CCK types and fields exactly.
