Why I Hate Drupal: Friday the 13th Edition
Now that I'm back from my month-long blog hiatus and from DrupalCon DC 2009, I thought I'd throw up a little post in the same vein as walkah's brilliant Why I Hate Drupal talk.
A friend was building a Drupal site and asked me what I thought the best way to prepopulate a lot of HTML into a node body field was for a newsletter. Now, she's using Simplenews and Simplenews template isn't yet out for Drupal 6, but that's no problem. In the past, on sites like YPOGP.org, I implemented the newsletter by using a little module called nodeformtemplate to fill in the node body with a full HTML newsletter, and letting the user type in the extra HTML they needed. That module makes it easy, right?
