I started doing some Drupal powered site rebuilding.

By first of all I deleted all views and un-installed and deleted modules that are not must-have.

It took me some time (about 5 minutes) to remember how to display referenced nodes on other node page.



 

Here is what you will need to achieve such behavior:

New hinges added to my HP Compaq 6510b

Today, finally my new used hinges arrived, and I had an opportunity to change the broken ones with new ones. Hinges traveled to me from China to US and the to Georgia, pretty impressive route, right?
