This screencast covers the following topics, using the example of flagging comments as spam and then creating an admin interface to manage them:

• What non-global flags are, and how to create them
• How to create flags on comments
• How to access flag count data in Views
• How to create a simple Bulk Operations view

This screencast covers the following topics:

• What global flags are and how to create them
• How to create node flags
• How to create a view showing flagged content, using relationships
• How to use DraggableViews to sort flagged nodes manually

If you need a review of using Views relationships, you can find that in the Configuring Views relationships video.

Flag is a module used for marking nodes, comments or users with an on/off marker, for example for flagging spam comments, selecting content to promote to a sidebar, or marking other users as friends. What makes Flag useful is primarily its integration with the Views and Rules modules, and this series will make sure to cover those important pieces, too.

When writing code for the web it is very important that you pay attention to security. Drupal provides many tools to help you out and in this presentation we'll look at what those are and how to make sure you use them properly.

In this introductory video we go over what you should already know to get the most out of this series. We also describe topics covered in each of the 13 episodes – over 2 hours in total.

Each episode covers just one concept, when possible, so you can get the most out of them without getting overwhelmed.

If you need to brush up on Views, you can watch our Intro to Views for Drupal 7 series.

In this chapter we learn about changing the definition of a database table after it has already been installed. This example expands on the previous chapters by adding a new field to the table to collect the date a user last visited a node. We learn more about hook_update_N() as well as db_add_field().

In this chapter we learn other ways to interact with our database beyond the simple db_select() query from the earlier video. This example walks through writing a module that that saves and displays data about how many times a user has visited a specific page. We learn about db_select(), db_insert(), db_update(), db_merge(), db_delete() and introduce the concept of "get and set" helper functions.
