Drupal - Change the Label for the Body Field on a Node Form

If you want to change the label for the body field on a node form in Drupal 6, you can do it through the Drupal UI or with a little custom code in your module.

Drupal - Get User Counts For Each User Role

Here is how to get a count of users for each user role in a Drupal 6 or 7 site:

SELECT
  COUNT(u.uid) AS user_count,
  r.name AS role 
FROM {users} u 
  INNER JOIN {users_roles} ur ON u.uid = ur.uid
  INNER JOIN {role} r ON ur.rid = r.rid
GROUP BY r.name
ORDER BY user_count DESC;

(Note, this isn't the 'correct' way to do it in Drupal 7, we should really use the new Database API layer, but I'm lazy right now.)

This will give you a table something like this:

GROUP BY {node_type}.type;
