Drupal Views Taxonomy Grouping Date Sort Issues

Tue Dec 01 2009
Posted by Darko Hrgovic

We had an issue today with Views 2 not grouping on taxonomy terms in anything but Table view.
We asked the view to group on taxonomy terms and sort on date field, but it really sorted by date field, and only looked like it was grouping (nodes with different taxonomy terms were mixed into the groups).
Removing the date field sort allowed grouping to work properly.
Again, works great in Table view.
 

Our support for Open Source - Thunderbird

Supporting open source is something we continue to try to do and even though often times we feel like we have a long way to go to give back, one recent piece we're pleased to help with is the new Spread Thunderbird site for Mozilla. http://spreadthunderbird.com/

It's a way that anyone can share the message of the countless hours of volunteer support that Thunderbird, which is the open source email program used by millions of people. It's a way that the openness on the web can be spread to everyone that might need it.

Hubert Florin is our talented designer and coder that designed the site, and hats off to the Mozilla Messenging team, especially Roland Tanglao for giving us this opportunity.

Agentic Communications, the National Film Board, and the SFU Praxis Centre for Screenwriters are launching the "Melting Silos" concept development program with the participation of Telefilm's Canada New Media Fund - Sectoral Assistance.
The goal of the Melting Silos Program is to connect local filmmakers and new media talent in a way that educates both parties and facilitates the development of project materials to be ready for production.
We're now seeking a small group of accomplished filmmakers and New Media production companies who would like to produce narrative web-based work.

Date format on our blog

Just had a question about the date format on our blogs, so thought I'd share with everyone. Not sure if our developer (no longer with us) borrowed the technique from another source, but if she did then kudos to the other source.
A code snippet in node-blog.tpl.php and some css should do the trick:

I'm going to Web of Change
This year, I'm really looking forward to Web of Change and not only because we're a sponsor. It's a chance to connect with peers and learn more about what's what in the world of non-profit and technology. It's a way that we learn about new techniques, ideas, and ways of helping our clients. It's like a post-grad course in 5 days. Mucho thinking, but worth it. Adam will be attending with me so we can both learn how to push the edges of campaign innovation, collaborate better and learn how to be of service in our transformative new world!

A fully manageable image slideshow for your home page with Drupal

As my first blog post here, I'd like to start by thanking the Agentic team for their great support of the community, and for letting me to take some time on the side to contribute or work on open source projects like FluidGrid or Basic.

Homepage slideshow

This is something that almost every client wants for their landing page nowadays: a nice rotating image slideshow that they can update themselves. And the more I build this, the more I realize that clients expect full control over this, and that most of the solutions out of the box in Drupal aren't as flexible as they could be.

Agentic Sponsorships this Year

Wow, looking back this year, I see we have sponsored quite a few projects and organizations. By far our biggest sponsorship was the TD Canada Trust Vancouver Jazz Festival this year, but we also sponsored Barcamp, DrupalCamp, Web of Change, Nootka Fine Arts School, BC Cancer Foundation, Duncan Hospice, and contributed time and work to the Wilderness Committee, Vision Vancouver, Living Oceans Society, and many more! We're happy to do it as we think it's another way to be involved in our community.

Agentic Defined

Came across this new definition of Agentic which I think is so fantastic: A "perspective that views people as self-organizing, proactive, self-reflecting and self-regulating, not just as reactive organisms shaped by environmental forces or driven by inner impulses."(Wikipedia)
It just means to me that people have human agency to make choices that can impact the world. We choose deliberately to work with social value organizations because we think that this is the way we can assist in helping the world.
