Hopeless Geek

Genius. Sheer genius. After my previous rant about what I had to hack to get things working the way I wanted with ecto, Drupal 4.6’s blogapi module improves significantly on things and allow me to add any content I want (with sanity limitations) via ecto.

Which means that if I wanted to add a tagline to the top rotation, or a quote in-between articles, I just open ecto. If I want to start a forum topic (indeed, if you wanted to; login with your username and password) I would just open ecto. If I wanted a new static page, I just open ecto.

The limitations are minor:

1. Types that don’t use the body item in the node table (images, flexinodes, etc.) are useless.
2. You can’t set custom paths (but the new pathauto fixes that, mostly)

Otherwise, I can now handle most any content from ecto for all my Drupal sites. Now if I could just get the time to post (June, likely) then things would be perfect.
