Hi all.
I recall from a presentation by Michelle Lauer (miche) during Drupalcon 2010, she indicated it's best to use a CCK textarea field for the node body to make it easier on themers.
However, in this case I will be the themer and I'm handing the site off to an experienced Drupaller to maintain the back end.
So what I wanted to open up for discussion here is: what other advantages or disadvantages are there to each approach?
My three primary concerns are as follows:
- Many content types rely on teasers and so to make it easier on content editors, I was thinking of either using CCK fields for the body/teaser or using the Excerpt module and sticking with the default $node->body and $node->teaser
- The site (which is currently being migrated to Drupal) is receiving around 300K page views per day, so on heavy traffic pages that utilize views to generate lists of teasers, is there any difference between the two methods (where every millisecond could count)?
- How about Drupal 7 migration issues?
Big fat thanks in advanced to all those that participate in this discussion and I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Regards,
Dan
