Talking Drupal #76 Where to Host your Drupal Site
Topics Managed vs Non-Managed Website characteristics Backups Hosting Companies Drupal Specialized Hosting Module of the Week Role Export - https://www.drupal.org/project/role_export The Role Export module allows roles to have machine_names and generates a unique role id (rid) based off of the machine_name. Roles can be exported with Features and get the exact same rid if imported on other sites. Because of this unique rid there is no need to create plugins per contrib module that use the rid in their export code, such as Views, Ctools, Rules, etc. References to this role id will not break on other sites.

Topics Guest Marc Isaacson “Teach Yourself Drupal” Drupal Kickstarter Project Project goals Objective How does it work Ridiculously Open source Kickstarter campaign Module of the Week Computed Field - https://www.drupal.org/project/computed_field Computed Field is a very powerful field module that lets you add a custom "computed fields" to your content types. These computed fields are populated with values that you define via PHP code. You may draw on anything available to Drupal, including other fields, the current user, database tables, you name it. (Feeling the power yet? :) ) You can also choose whether to store your computed field values in the database with other content fields, or have them "calculated" on the fly during node views. (Although you should note that Views use requires database stored values.) This field is literally the Swiss Army knife of fields. So start cooking up your PHP based values!
