Using nodequeue module with actions and workflow module

Barry Pretsell's picture

This tutorial will show you how to use the nodequeue module on your site. The initial part of the tutorial will show manual use of the module and the later part will show how nodequeue can be integrated with actions and workflow modules.

We will build a block showing the 5 latest story posts. Initially we will add them manually, then we'll do it automaticallly, we'll add new Stories to our queue and then remove them at a predefined time in the future. (and on the way we'll show you how to create views of a nodequeue).

For some background on why nodequeue is important, read Merlin's post on his site.

You will need

  • Drupal 5
  • Views module
  • nodequeue module
  • actions module
  • workflow module 

Ok, let's get started.

Nice tutorial, but have you thought about making your book pages printable all at once (as with book pages on drupal.org)?
