The Nodequeue module allows users to collect nodes in an arbitrarily ordered list. The order in the list can be used for a any purpose, such as:

A block listing teasers for the five top news stories on a site A user’s favorite music albums A group of favorite from which one is randomly displayed Nodequeue provides a simple drag-and-drop interface to manually order any queue. Additionally, it allows nodes to be added and removed from queues without needing edit permissions to the node. Nodes can be added to queues either from a queue management tab or by links on the node teaser.

Queues can be set to allow only certain types of nodes to be added to the queue. Queue can be a fixed size or of infinite length. And the admin can select which roles have permission to add nodes to a given queue.

Once a queue is set up, a new tab will appear on eligible nodes for eligible users. This tab will allow the user--regardless of edit permissions--to add or remove that node from the queue. Queue admins can view the nodes in the queue, and can modify the order of items already in the queue. Items may also appear in a nodes links area to add/remove them from the queue.

When a node is added to the queue, it is added to the back of the queue. If a queue is full when a node is added, the front of the queue is removed.

Nodequeue has support for nodes with i18n Internationalizations.

It is highly recommended that you use the Views module to display your queues. However, if you choose not to, here is an alternative: Writing a PHP snippet.

You'll need the Queue ID, which is easily extracted from the URL on the queue administration page.

Create a new block, and insert the following PHP snippet into the block:

If you want this queue to be printed in the reverse order, you can tell it to print backward:

The '' in the line above is an optional title field. Feel free to put something here, but it's not terribly necessary in a block.

The following funcitons can be used to display nodes from a subqueue, based on their position. For more customized displays of content from a queue, please use the Views module (http://drupal.org/project/views). For the most up to date Nodequeue API information, see http://drupal.org/node/293117. Programmatic Ways of Displaying Content from a Queue

Nodequeue provides several functions which simplify getting a loaded node object from the front, back or a random position in a queue. For more selecting or displaying content in a more specific or complicated way, the Views module is probably your best bet.
