Drupal 7 - Simple Settings and Configs

Creating content types for pleasure and fun sometimes means that you need to have fields populated with data when first presented to the author during node creation.

Drupal 7 - An Annoying Error: Part the Second

This post refers to an earlier post titled Drupal 7 - An Annoying Error in which I claim to have found a fix to the annoying "comment_node_type_delete()" errors I would get when uninstalling a custom built content type. The solution I found works well when having a base value of "node_content" suits the method you are using to build your content type, such as using the Field API, but if you roll your own base type and delete your custom content type during uninstalling then you are bound to see this from time to time:
