Capoeira in particular has such a rich, rich history, and I like the way Juba describes the democratic and equalizing aspects engendered by its roots in slavery.

  • The Views module allows administrators to create dynamic lists of content for display in pages or blocks. It is possible to insert those lists into existing node bodies and blocks, but such inclusion requires that PHP filtering be turned on. The Insert View module allows any user to insert view listings using tag syntax, without the need for PHP execution permissions. The Insert View tag syntax for embedding a view is relatively simple:

    [view:my_view]

    is replaced by the content listing corresponding to the named view. In this case it is my_view.

    [view:my_view=my_display]

    invokes the my_view view using the my_display view display ID. If the display slot is left empty, the view's "default" display is used.

    [view:my_view=my_display=1,2,3]

    uses the my_display view display, and passes a comma delimited list of arguments (in this case 1, 2, and 3) to the view.

    Here's an example you could use with the default view named "tracker" which uses the page display and takes a user ID as an argument:

    [view:tracker=page=1]

    In short this tag says, "Insert the view named tracker, use the "page" display, and supply the argument 1."

    Sometimes you want to pass an argument without specifying a display ID. You can do that by leaving the display ID slot empty, like so:

    [view:my_view==1]

    How to find a display ID: On the edit page for the view in question, you'll find a list of displays at the left side of the control area. "Defaults" will be at the top of that list. Hover your mouse pointer over the name of the display you want to use. A URL will appear in the status bar of your browser. This is usually at the bottom of the window, in the chrome. Everything after #views-tab- is the display ID. For example in http://localhost/admin/build/views/edit/tracker?destination=node%2F51#views-tab-page the display ID would be "page".

  • Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
  • Internal paths in double quotes, written as "internal:node/99", for example, are replaced with the appropriate absolute URL or relative path. Given a site located at http://example.com/mysite, assuming clean URLs are enabled and "internal:admin/user" becomes "http://example.com/mysite/admin/user" and "internal:node/99" becomes "http://example.com/mysite/node/99". If 'node/99' has a URL alias assigned, such as 'news/latest' the alias will be substituted giving "http://example.com/mysite/news/latest".
  • Insert Google Map macro.

  • Video Filter

    You may insert videos from popular video sites by using a simple tag [video:URL].

    Examples:

    • Single video:
      [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId]
    • Random video out of multiple:
      [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId1,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId2]
    • Override default autoplay setting: [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId autoplay:1]
    • Override default width and height:
      [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId width:X height:Y]
    • Align the video:
      [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId align:right]

    Supported sites: YouTube, Google Video, Tangle, DailyMotion, Eyespot, Revver, Vimeo, Flickr Slideshows, Flickr Video, Game Videos, Meta Cafe, Game Trailers, College Humor, MySpace, Capped, Blip.tv, Slideshare, Picasa Slideshows.

    Special instructions:

    Some codecs need special input. You'll find those instructions here.
    • Slideshare:
      You need to construct your own URL, using the "Wordpress Embed" code from Slideshare, extract the "id" and "doc" parts, and form the URL like this: slideshare.net/?id=1759622&doc=usingdrupal-090723103440-phpapp01.
    • Picasa Slideshows:
      You must use the URL of the RSS feed for the Picasa album:
      1. View the album in Picasa (you should see thumbnails, not a slideshow).
      2. Find the "RSS" link and click it.
      3. Copy the resulting URL from the browser address bar. Example:
        [video: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/USER_NAME/albumid/5568104935784209834?alt=rss&kind=photo&hl=en_US]
