Drupal Aggregator Time Stamp and Views Display Issue - Fix With SQL and Template Function
Altered SQL and a PreProcess Function in the template.php file used to fix an aggregator module issue with feed time stamps.
Recently, I found an issue with Drupal's core aggreggator module that was causing havoc with the time stamps on a particular feed. Instead of retaining a timestamp equivalent to the post date in the RSS feed (this might be an issue with the feed) or a time stamp based on the date and time when the item was first imported, the time stamp of all items in the feed were being set to the date and time of the most recent refresh. So, essentially, cron runs and all items in the feed had the same time stamp of when cron ran.

Creating Enhanced Category Pages for Ubercart Using Views
Ubercart provides tremendous functionality for building an eCommerce site in Drupal. And within a fairly short period of time after installation, one can build at least a decent online shopping cart / eCommerce website. One will add products, perhaps include categories, and configuration various parts of the system such as shipping, payment methods, etc.
But depending upon one's needs, requirements, and preferences, one may wish to spend time with CSS, coding, or configuring additional modules in order to customize various aspects of one's eCommerce website. But then again, that is one of the many benefits of using Drupal and Ubercart - there are many options.

How to Present Different Data in Multiple Displays of Views
When first working with Views 2 for Drupal 6, it may not be immediately obvious that information presented in a different displays for a particular View doesn't have to be the same.
Let's say you have started a new View and you are have added several fields and filters. Then you add a Page display, and put in the path. Later, you realize you want to present the information for your View in a block as well. However, maybe you don't want to have all the same fields displayed in your block as you do on the page.
