Ask Freelock: Sortable tables?
Kevin asks,
Is there a Drupal Add On or Widget that would allow users to sort tables as they're displayed on the website?
Hi, Kevin,
Several options here:

Drupal CMS: Making the easy stuff easy
In the past couple days I've gotten two different questions regarding building functionality out in WordPress. This seems a bit...weird with timing, given that Drupal CMS just launched three days ago!

🕵️♂️ Privacy for website owners, and introducing 💧 Drupal CMS
Happy New Year!
This month we're doing a deep dive into privacy. Privacy for website owners, privacy for you, privacy for the world. To cap it all off, we have a special Privacy Tune-up offer to make sure your privacy policy is accurate and covering your assets...
And if that's not enough, it's a big week for Drupal -- see below for why!

What website owners need to know about Privacy
Owning a website in 2025 is not as freeform a thing as it was a couple decades ago. Much like the owner of a store or an amusement park ride has to pay some attention to safety hazards, now site owners can't simply neglect caring for the privacy of their visitors.

Creating Product Bundles in Drupal Commerce
As we start developing mini-products to offer to our clients, we've found we actually need to group multiple products under one purchase.

Ask Freelock: ECA vs Rules
Yesterday a client asked us to install Rules module (again, repeating an earlier request, when he had missed my answer that we had installed ECA instead).

Privacy Big Picture: 6 ways privacy is changing
It's the end of 2024, and compared to 10 years ago, there's a lot of changes when it comes to privacy.
Automatically Geolocate Santa
We've reached the last day of the calendar, and it's time for Santa's visit! Santa has been visiting some famous places all month. With the Geocoder module, Leaflet, a Geofield, and an Address field, you can automatically put each address Santa has visited on the map!
You do need to configure a geocoder source. We're using OpenStreetmap, from the geocoder-php/nominatim-provider.
Automatically moderate comments using AI
When you allow the general Internet to post comments, or any other kind of content, you're inviting spam and abuse. We see far more spam comments than anything relevant or useful -- but when there is something relevant or useful, we want to hear it!
With the AI module and the Events, Conditions, and Actions module, you can set up automatic comment moderation.
Like any use of AI, setting an appropriate prompt is crucial to getting a decent result. Here's the one we're trying out:
Automatically set fields on content
One of the easiest things to do with the Events, Conditions, and Actions (ECA) module is to set values on fields. You can populate forms with names and addresses from a user's profile. You can set date values to offsets from the current time. You can perform calculations and store the result in a summary field, which can make using them in views much more straightforward.
