Today I finally got around to testing out the new field suggestions in Drupal 7. If you’re not familiar with the standard suggestions in short you can either use field templates or override theme_field using a naming convention not unlike we do with preprocess functions. What struck me as kind of odd was the lack suggestions for field types—maybe there’s a very good reason for this such as performance, I don’t know, but I thought it might be interesting to see if I could use them, if I wanted to.

Myself, like many others, have always had an acrimonious relationship with the word “node”. It didn’t exactly get off to a good start when node presented me with a rude “wtf” moment when we first met. Things only went down hill after that, node remaining aloof and abstract, without ever just coming out and telling me what it actually was.

Prolly one of the most frequently asked drupal design questions to me and others in the Drupal forum is “how do I [insert question] CSS”.

In case you hadn’t noticed I really like icons, in fact I love icons. A great set of icons, or even a few nice ones can really lift your Drupal themes from drab, to fab, and all it takes is a bit of leg work to find a suitable set for your rocking Drupal theme. Heres a short list of 5 icon resources I have plundered used recently.
