I am using Drupal 6 and I got a lot of pages and content.
To save time, is there a way to use a page Administrative title as the title that is used in the browser (the HTML title tag: <title>)?
Thankful for all input!
Perhaps the Page Title module may be of some help to you. It allows for more control of the html title tag by setting up title patterns using tokens made available through the Token module
Drupal does this by default (at least on my install it is currently) - are you building these administration pages yourself or are they the default ones?

We want to create a "what's new" page in Phriction, as we can seamlessly link with the issues and other help articles.
However, we also want to display this web page in our Qt application (when it detects a new version is available for download). But in that particular case it would be nice to just have a plain vanilla page without all phabricator menus etc.
Is that possible?
You could link to the print version of the page, or build your own page via conduit. There are no "skins" for Phriction.
I have created some pages in wordpress using Visual Composer Plugin. When I try to share those pages on social media sites it shows the visual composer tags as well. Is there any way to get rid of these tags ?
The tags come like
MY PAGE TITLE
[vc_row type=
my page text
The Visual Composer tags are simply arbitrary bits of text that the VS framework picks up and via JavaScript converts into the visual layout that you see.
To demonstrate this edit a page and click the 'Classic Mode' button and this will show you the 'real' content / markup of your page. As a result when sharing the page via social media that network looks for key info to grab for your page to then display.
All the major networks have some form of metadata that they look for first. They use these special tags to see what content you want them to use for your site. If these tags aren't present on your site, they will simply grab content from the page markup. Hence, the Visual Composer tags get picked up.
So, what you need to do is make your site use the necessary metadata / tags for each of the networks, and then populate these fields without these Vis Composer tags.
The easiest way to do this is to use an existing plugin which takes care of this for you. You typically find this in any decent SEO software. You'll in 99.9% of cases want an SEO plugin for WordPress anyway.
By far the most popular and in my experience the best SEO plugin is Yoast SEO. It's a free plugin which not only gives great easy to use SEO tools, it also allows you to set custom description fields for pages/ posts. This means that you can remove the VC tags, and so they will no longer show up on Search Engines and Social Networks. Plus depending on which version you use, you can also customise things on a per social network basis.
Facebook and Twitter etc all use heavy caching against shared content. So, if a page is shared and then edited, the same content will still be shared for a period of time. They don't actually grab live copies every time a page is shared. This can make it a little difficult when developing this side of your site.
Luckily, there is a tool to help with Facebook and here's the one for Twitter.
I am building site in Drupal and I need your help. I have an assignment to make one more language translation of the site, and so far so good. However, I have one trouble with one block which isn't going to get translated, even though in the settings I translated it.
Also one strange activity I noticed is that when I try to go to VIEW section of all the other languages, I get dropped to front page (where that block is actually located) but if I press VIEW from my language translation (Swedish) of the block I get to completely new page.
If I go to front page and my language is selected, that block is actually using default language.
Any help what may cause it?
For desire url aliasing you need to install pathauto drupal module. then you can configure alise from below url
admin/config/search/path/patterns
OK, I have found a solution to this problem.
It appears that Drupal 7 by default sets your new language homepage to the default homepage and that's why this block was using default language since it was relying on the front page. Anyway, to fix the issue follow the steps:
Login to adming account, go to Configuration, System, Site Information and in the field Default front page for the language you have chosen navigate to your specific node page. That's it.
Is there any way to write in the Drupal back-end the text to display in the search engine summaries?
Currently, the beginning of my home page (usually menus...) is displayed. I would like to add a description instead.
Thanks
Google uses the metatag "description" when is it is available, instead of the content on the page.
There are a few modules that will help you create them:
nodewords
and
Integrated Metatags
Are the most popular. Using one of these modules will most likely be easier than hiding text with css, and from what I understand google ignores hidden text at least part of the time.
you can see this in action at our site

Here is a google search showing the how the custom descriptions show up.
You can't do this in the backend.
You should be able to this with regular Drupal theming. How depends on which search tool you use.
It's perhaps a common task to create a subsection on site, which will reside under sitename.com/subpath.
The subsection will contain own menu with a few links (Calendar view, Add MyEvent content type form, Table View).
But clicking these links will lead out of this /subpath.
Is there a know solution for this (to stay in subsection)?
Or it's normal to use custom code to manage such a subsection, e.g. create pages under /subpath with custom PHP code that will load CCK forms (drupal_get_form())?
Also, is it a tolerable solution to modify from "View links to node forms" to "View links to /subpath pages with programmatically created node forms"?
I'm not sure I completely understood your question - if I didn't and I'm off-topic, I apologize in advance.
Anyway:
Creating pages with code in them using PHP filter, is never accepted practice. There's a reason why the filter was moved to its own module in 6.x - so you can turn it off altogether.
You can go to Site building->URL aliases->Create alias and point the wanted system paths (say, node/add/mycontent) to your subsection path (say, mysection/add/mycontent). All the links to the system path should change to the new alias.
EDIT:
Also, check out pathauto and Sub-path URL Aliases for paths like node/1 and node/1/edit
