I am using drupal 6. I created a content type called 'Mobile' using CCK and added content for it. I want to change the way the content is displayed to the user. How do i do this.
Currently looks like this. I want to play around with the fields in this only for this content type. How do i do it and can i do some work around with the form of the mobile content type.

You need to learn Drupal theming system. you can get general idea http://drupal.org/node/17565 and by looking at node.tpl.php from your theme - that's for the beginning.
P.S: as far as I see from your other questions, you didn't tried to search in the web for this.

I would like your support in order to get some help in customizing the search component in Liferay DXP 7.0 Enterprise.
I have reviewed all the available documentation but although I have found many articles about the issue, the step by step is not so clear for me.
I need to customize the native search component:
Change the input component to give suggestions while the user is typing the search terms
Change the search result page look and feel.
Anyone ever implemented anything like this?
I know this is an old thread, but StackOverflow keeps showing it as the first open question when I am navigation this particular tag...So here are some pointers, as this is a pretty broad topic...
The search is really confusing for adding customization. Mainly you have to provide some of them as contributors, using the asset framework. following the regular steps to build an asset for the asset publisher you will hit the best place to find documentation about the search contributors.
About the search page, best is to create a new page, besides the default one for extra freedom. As long you use the friendly URL /search it will a basic replacement. In this page you can add everything you need, except for translations for the friendly URL - not great. Another option is to keep the default page (which will not be visible in the build area 7.1.x, but you can edit after you search something and fall inside it).
I've never used Drupal before (development or managing content). I was asked to extend the admin content page to have a filter and simply don't know enough to get moving quickly.
Can anyone tell me if adding a search by text filter in the admin content area requires code or is there a CMS feature like adding a node for this task.
If code is required, is there something like a hook for this area? Not sure where to start. I will be investigating on my own but pointers to get me oriented to Drupal would help.
By default Drupal provides search mechanism ready to use. But there are also additional module which can improve search experience. You don't need any coding to use that search. You already have search form block ready to use.
Go to Structure -> Blocks and find block called "Search form". Now all you have to do is to put that block in some region and it will appear on front-end. Of course if it's not already styled by your theme it may be needed to put some extra CSS to make it look nice. There are also some template files which you can override and put some your HTML if you need.
There's also template file for search results page (which of course will work out of box also).
You may also need to create new block region if you want to place your form at some specific place, not covered by any existing region defined by your theme (easy thing to do!).
See https://drupal.stackexchange.com/q/30633/101329, the "Admin Views" module lets you configure the search form as you like.
I am beginner to Orchard. My purpose of starting this discussion is, to make beginners aware about Orchard Fundamentals.
I am currently Developing on web site using Orchard. But most of the times I am facing difficulty in rendering contents and how to place content on front end. As well, use of content items, content types and modules. Usually, I get confuse in using all these things. For example : I have created new content type for displaying latest post on my site, with date and user's profile picture. So for that my question is, "Is it right that I have created content type for it? or should I have to make module? and if yes than can I use my content type as a widget on my homepage? "
FYI: I went through the documentation and plural sight's video. But I was not able to clear above fundamentals.
Sorry for any inconvenience or any stupid questions, but at this time it seems bit complex for me. Can anybody please help me to clear my fundamentals of orchard?
Thank you,

Is it right that I have created content type for it? or should I have to make module?
Sure, a ContentType just means that you can create instances of that specific type through the CMS.
or should I have to make module?
Do you want to re-use your contenttype across different projects? If so, then you should create code that creates the contenttype for you (in a migration script) and put that in a module.
can I use my content type as a widget on my homepage?
Yes, you need to enable your contenttype to be a widget. You can do this also with a migration script like so (add the WidgetPart and settting Widget stereotype:
ContentDefinitionManager.AlterTypeDefinition(
"MyWidget",
x => x.WithPart("WidgetPart")
.WithSetting("Stereotype", "Widget")
);
I have a question regarding Drupal 7 and the Views API.
I'm writing a module that replaces specific text in views. Essentially what I'm trying to do is scan text in a view (or page for that matter). Let's say the view has [special button] will be replaced with
l(t('button'),'mypage',array('query',array('page'=>$node->nid)));
Or whatever. Please understand this is pseudo code.
I've took a look at hook_view(), hook_node_view() (http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21node%21node.api.php/function/hook_node_view/7) and neither of them seem to work for me.
I've also looked at http://drupal.org/node/1510828 but that didn't seem to help me out.
Have you tried selecting 'rewrite the output of this field' on the field/s ?
Or alternatively Views PHP should be able to do what you want.
I'd like to have a hierarchical URL structure in my site. Something on these lines:
tutorials
javascript
jquery
There should be a page at each level (tutorials, tutorials/javascript and tutorials/javascript/jquery). Obviously, using Taxonomies would help me organize my content in this manner, but how do I get Autoroute URLs generated for this scenario?
Bertrand Le Roy made a comment on this SO answer about using taxonomy terms as pages but it still doesn't seem to create the right URL structure for me. Am I missing something? Is there something specific I need to configure or enable to make this happen?
Are there any other approaches I can look at?
I was thinking of specifying the default route as something like {Content.Fields.Page.TaxonomyName}. It appears that this isn't really possible right now according to this bug report.
Here's an approach that seems to work without having to use taxonomies:
I added a Content Picker field called ParentPage to the Page content type and updated the Page's Autoroute default to
{Content.Fields.Page.ParentPage.Content.Path}/{Content.Slug}
Now in each page I get to pick what the parent page is and the URL is constructed how I expect it. From what I remember of working with WordPress, I think this is pretty close to how it allows you to do this parent page thing, too.
