How to make a top 10 node list in drupal - drupal

I am trying to make a View with "Top 10" nodes where the position is granted by an administrator through a CCK text field with 10 options (1 to 10 points).
I want that once an option is chosen, that option is not available in the select lists of other nodes. In other words, when an option is selected (for example "9th position") in a node, this option is removed from the list (other nodes will have all but "9th").
When a node has its position removed, that option appears as well. This can also be achieved through a special validation snippet: the options are all available but when one that is already chosen is selected it displays an error or warning.
UPDATE: it just occurred to me that another (much better) option is to have an admin page with a list of ten top nodes that can be rearranged, removed or added.
Thank you.

You are looking for the NodeQueue module. This provides the ability to create fixed lists of nodes.

How to filter edges by attributes in Gephi?

I have some edges with their corresponding labels, and I want to filter in only records with label 1, but it just doesn't work as shown below.
The function works to filter in nodes but doesn't work for edges. I thought it would be due to that there were too many edges, then I tried .gexf files with only hundreds of edges, but the problem remains. I also tried to create a new column in the app or create the column using Python in the .gexf file, but both failed. Sometimes an error arises: an error occurred while fetching data.
I wonder how to filter in only matched edges on Gephi?
It seems that you must have an entry for every edge in the Label column.
What you can do in your situation:
Sort the edges according to Label by clicking on the column name (might click twice).
Select edges that don't have a label yet.
Right-click: Edit all edges.
Give a default Label in the edit menu.
If you don't already have labels and want to manually assign them in the Data Table, you can also use Fill column with a value and give a default value to every edge.
This is probably a bug since we get a NullPointerException sometimes, probably because filtering doesn't expect null values in the label column (at least judging after a quick glance at the stack trace). You might file this to their GitHub Issue Page over here.
In addition:
A useful tutorial notes: "However, looking at the "catalogue" of filters, we see no filter on Label. The reason is that Label is an internal property of nodes, inaccessible to filters. So we must first copy the Labels of the nodes in a new attribute, which we will be able to apply a filter on." Whilst the tutorial refers to nodes the same idea works for edges: create a new edge column named whatever you choose and copy your edge labels into it. You can filter using this new column. NB: I can find the filter under Attributes: Equal but not Attributes: Partition, but it may help you. NNB: If you can't see the filter after creating the new column, you may have to hit Reset at the top of the Filters panel.

Issue with Finder in Drupal 7

So, I am using Drupal 7 and I'm having an issue with the Finder module.
I have a view set up with a list of a specific content type. In my Finder I have 2 select lists set up to filter the view, both with a blank option appended to the beginning, and also a text box.
When I view the page and select a value from either of the select lists the page works fine. The problem pops up when I leave both select lists blank and the text field empty. Instead of returning all results, which is the behavior I want, it return no results.
In the Finder module for my select lists I have 1 of the "Choices" set to Used Values and I have the field set to the correct content type I want to filter on. The 2nd Select List is set to "Available Options." Both Select Lists have the "Empty Choice" setting set to "empty."
If there is any other information I can provide, let me know.
This has been a very difficult bug to Google and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Answered.....Sort of.
The problem turns out to be version of WebForm module that is being used. We were using version 7.x-4.3, which is the latest, but rolled back to version 7.x-4.1 and the issue resolved itself.
It seems odd to me that a product that is used by hundreds of thousands of people would let a bug this annoying slip by.

Drupal related articles view with list of nodes to exclude from results

I'm trying to create a list of related articles in Drupal, based on shared tags. I've used this solution and it works great:
Creating list of similar nodes in Drupal 7/Views 3
However, I wish to expand on this and exclude certain nodes from the related view which are not relevant. I have a node reference field (field_exclude) for the article which allows the user to select which nodes to exclude.
I just need to update this related view to exclude any node ids found in field_exclude. Any idea on how I update the view to add this functionality?
Thanks.
Add a Filter Criteria for the field_exclude and there set the "Not empty" value or any other value that wil do the job.
Another solution here is to use the NodeQueue module where users can add nodes in lists/views.

Drupal: Creating a view that retrieves related nodes based on terms

I'm trying to wrap my head around getting nodes that share the same taxonomy terms, but I have some questions.
Essentially, I want to display a view at the bottom of my event node that shows related events. I have tags for each event and will be using those to create the match.
In views, when I create a taxonomy argument and add multiple "tags" it searches for nodes with all the specified arguments. What I want is not to search just for nodes that contain all of the arguments, but nodes that contain either or. So far I haven't figured any solutions.
Edit:
Would it be easier to create a simple block module that queries the database for nodes that contain the terms?
I am using a Taxonomy Term ID as argument and then I selected the checkbox that allows Multiple Terms per argument. Notice the help text that says, "If selected, users can enter multiple arguments in the form of 1+2+3 (for OR) or 1,2,3 (for AND)." By using the + sign you will OR the arguments together, but if you use the , then they will be AND together thus forcing nodes to have all terms. For this specific view I am providing the default argument via php and I am using the plus sign to wrap the term ID arguments together. This will give me all the nodes that are tagged with any of the terms supplied as arguments.
edit: I might want to also add that I have the checkbox selected for "Let Multiple arguments work together." That may or may not be needed for your use case, but I needed it for mine.

Drupal Views: Get nodes with the same taxonomy as the current node

I have a Content-Type with taxonomy-terms. It's a select-list, so it can have only one taxonomy - at least of that vocabulary. Now I need to build a view that lists all nodes with the same taxonomy.
Thought that this wouldn't be too hard since it sounds pretty basic. Yet I can't get it working. Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid writing a module for this.
While this was technically possible with Views 2 as described in some of the other answers, Views 3 has this integration built in.
You can create an argument for the taxonomy term id and then choose "Provide default argument". This will then give you an option for "Taxonomy Term ID from URL" and "Load default argument from node page..."
This will allow you to take the taxonomy of a page and pass that as an argument to your view block.
Note: Views 3 is currently in Alpha 3 but in my experience is at a relatively stable state and I am using it on production sites. If it has features like the one above that you find useful please use it, test it and submit bugs/patches if you encounter any issues!
This answer works in Views version 2 or higher. First you need to install Views attach ( http://drupal.org/project/views_attach ). Please read about Views attach before proceeding further. Views attach is best explained by this video http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode37
Now we get to Views attach. Please enable the views attach module before proceeding. Essentially Views attach attaches a view at the end of the node. In our case our view will be a listing of other articles with the same term.
We will essentially need to "pass" the taxonomy term of the node to the view. Let the name of your Vocabulary be called MyVocab.
Steps to make the view.
Lets call the view display_other_articles_with_same_taxonomy.
Add a display of type Node Content (available after enabling Views attach). This is a display just like block and page displays but with special ability of attaching itself to the node.
Make the following settings in the Node Content Display
Node content settings
Node types: [select the content types you are interested in seeing the list of nodes with same taxonomy term]
Build modes: Teaser, Full node
Arguments: token
Show title: No
You should select Use tokens from the node the view is attached to under Arguments. Let the token be [term-id] This is the "ID of top taxonomy term". This is very important!! Essentially you are going to be passing the taxonomy term of the node from the MyVocab (See http://groups.drupal.org/node/11788#comment-38332). If it has the lowest weight, the taxonomy vocabulary will be the first vocabulary in the taxonomy section of your node edit form. Add an argument Taxonomy: Term Id.
Add the fields you are interested in e.g. Node: Title. Make sure the Node: Title is made into a hyperlink by ticking Link this field to its Node
So what this view is going to do is:
Take the taxonomy term from the MyVocab vocabulary in the Node that is currently being viewed
Pass that as argument to the view display_other_articles_with_same_taxonomy
List all the nodes that have the same taxonomy term as the node being displayed.
Thats it!
If you're using Views 3 (currently at alpha3 at the time of writing) and you want a block (right now the articles have same taxonomy term come at the end of node body) you can do it in the following fashion:
Forget about views attach... its not required
Add a block view. It should contain the same argument, fields and filters as the instructions above for the Node Content display.
You need to modify the settings for the argument Taxononomy: Term Id just slightly: Under Action to take if argument is not present: choose [x] Provide Default Argument. Choose [x] Taxonomy Term ID from URL. Now make sure [] Load default argument from term page is unselected and [x] Load default argument from node page, thats good for related taxonomy blocks. Also [x]Limit terms by vocabulary and choose the Series vocabulary.
Make sure you name the block and put it in the appropriate region.
Note: This answer is subset of the answer I provided at How to just show NodeQueue block on included nodes? In that scenario the requirement was that the related articles are explicitly selected and listed in a particular order. Its a little more complex and uses Nodequeues which we don't need here at all.
Use relationships
Node 1 -> Relationship 1 -> Term // This will be relationships->taxonomy->term
Term -> Relationship 2 -> Node 2 // This will be relationships->node->node
Argument NID to filter NODE 1
Fields or node full view on Relationship 2 (you will see select box on field adding form, to determinate what NODE to use)
Views gives you the options to add filters. Click the plus sign in the filters area of the views admin UI, select Taxonomy from the list, check either Term or ID, and fill in the value that you need to filter by.
EDIT (for explicit instructions):
First, add the necessary fields that you want under the fields section that you want to display from the nodes that you are trying to filter such as node title, etc.
Under Arguments, click the plus sign and select Taxonomy
Check Taxonomy: Term and click Add
Click Update
In your preview area test it out by adding an argument and clicking preview. If it doesn't work, your nodes do not have attached taxonomy, your views module is corrupted, or you didn't follow directions.
