Here you can get the patches and modules developed at this site.

Note: this is just a preliminar/under development version and it's *not* mantained at any CVS yet. That means that the current version that you might see live at comesfa.org site could be newer that the one packed in the file, if you would like and updated version, please let me know just posting a message here.

Overview:
---------
  The 'taxonomy_sort' module has been developed at comesfa.org site.
  It provides a variety of functions oriented to knowledge management,
  that is, more oriented to classifying large quantities of information
  than news or blogs.
  Basically, they are:
        -Add a 'filter form' to the front page listing, and also to the
        taxonomies and taxnav pages that allows to filter the content by
        vocabularies.
        -This form also allows to sort the listings by many criterias such
        as creation, change, visits, etc. The order can be reversed.
        -Add a search form (go to taxonomy_sort page) that provides
        search capabilities in a similar way that taxonomy_search was doing
        but for all the node types at the same time.
        -Has a new 'pager' for the listings pages that presumabily have to
        be more scalable since does not have to run completely the queries
        twice. It still provides 'first/previous/next' page navigation. 'last'
        page is still at just one click by just reversing the order by at
        the filter form.
        -node.module is also patched to allow athenticated users edit their
        own posts. That could be easily transformed to a global setting.



  There is also a few other modules which are very site-specific:
        -dictionary: provides a box where you can query a web published
        dictionary. Now points to a couple cataln dictionaries, take it as
        sample.
        -convert: allows to convert published stories to book pages. The
        related page is configured at the module settings.
        -latest. simple block that lists recent changes. easy to modify to
        fit your needs.

Credits
-------
  Many of this code is based on taxnav.module and taxonomy_search.module


Installation and configuration:
-------------------------------
  Note that to install it, you should apply the supplied patches.
  Please refer to the INSTALL file.


See it in action:
-----------------
  All this modules can be seen in action at http://comesfa.org
  -latest, dictionary and the sort/filter ara available starting from
  the front page.
  -search by taxonomy is available at /taxonomy_sort


Cautions:
---------
  Use this module at your own risk.  I wrote it in a few nights to
meet the requirements at our site. Consider them in a very preliminar
stage of development.
  However, I've just decided to share them with the drupal community
mainly as a tribute for this great piece of code, also, to get feedback
about this modifications. Some ideas could be in general purpose interest
so if you think that it could be usefull to polish the code to make a
real module with some of this features, just give me feedback at
comesfa.org.

Todo:
-----
 - There is a few catalan hard-coded texts that should be translated.
 - Lots of cruft cleanup.
 - Make it more generic (in other words, make it less comesfa-centric)
 - Provide more configuration parameters.
 - Investigate drupal hooks to find out if there is a way to avoid the
   patches
 - many more....
