drupal-7

Copy from drupal.stackexchange.com hoping to get more answers here: I face a rather common problem of displaying a list of nodes similar to current one. Similar node is defined as one having at least one taxonomy term that current node has. There are few solutions available as modules, however the modules I've found (specifically Similar By Terms) are in beta stage (as in "not working properly") for Drupal 7. I've also found a couple of solutions based on Views and contextual filters (such as http://scito.ch/content/show-related-nodes-block-based-taxonomy-terms-views-3-and-drupal-7 ) or

The whole problem is following: Lets say we have Items, Items can have Bids, Items can have Questions and Question can have Answer. When an Item is displayed, all content associated with this Item should also be displayed. Additionally depending on roles, certain forms to make Bids, ask Questions and replay Answers should be display. How to achieve this? Should I have separate node type for each type? Or should I treat some subtypes like Questions and Answers as comments? Should I use some well-known modules for this? I am using Drupal 7 and I tried to write a custom module but I didn't get it

Is it possible to add an image to a node programmatically? Here is an example code using which you can use with node_save $filepath = drupal_realpath('misc/druplicon.png'); // Create managed File object and associate with Image field. $file = (object) array( 'uid' => 1, 'uri' => $filepath, 'filemime' => file_get_mimetype($filepath), 'status' => 1, ); // We save the file to the root of the files directory. $file = file_copy($file, 'public://'); $node->field_image[LANGUAGE_NONE][0] = (array)$file; ` An easier way: $filename = 'image.txt'; $image = file_get_contents('http://www.ibiblio.org/wm
