Blog now has tags

July 10, 2008

I’ve added tags to the hostel marketing blog.  Another tag cloud coming soon…

Screenshot of the new hostel directory search feature. The tag cloud is now at the top of the page:

find hostels

Thanks to the Drupal tagadelic module, jstools, and a quick custom search module.

I’ve added a new feature to the hostel directory. If you visit a hostel’s page (like the Generator Berlin hostel), it now has a link to all the listed hostels in Berlin.

It took a bit of time to figure out how to split Drupal’s $terms into its parts in the way that I wanted.

To break up taxonomy, you can use:

<?php
foreach($node->taxonomy as $term){
print $term->name.' ';
}
?>

I created custom link text using Drupal’s link function. It’s working great…

I’ve decided to add the hospitality and travel marketing blog here:
http://www.hostelmanagement.com/blog

The first post will be published today or tomorrow.

I am thinking about starting a hospitality marketing blog on Hostel Management.

Should it go at blog.hostelmanagement.com or www.hostelmanagement.com/blog?

I think the latter is going to work best, but I’m open to ideas…

Site Improvements

May 5, 2008

There was another spam attack in the hostel forums while I was sleeping last night, so I made some upgrades on the site. The improvements aren’t visible, but they will speed up removal of the spam and also have the side effect of reducing overall server load.
