Drupal

After ditching Mambo because it ate too much of my space, I switched to Drupal and MAN is it nice.
It's a bit unorthodox in its approach, but I really like how all the content is in the same
basic format, even the forums....

Oh boy! Setting up a website even using a CMS does not seem to be straight forward task. I have
noticed a problem. As stated earlier in another thread , I have already registerd for the domain
wisetome.com and parked it against kmaheshbhat.astahost.com. Also, for illustrating the problem I
am facing, I have created a user with the following details for my site: Username: joe Password:
joe (This is a temporary user that I will be deleting later). Now here is the problem I am facing.
Let us take the following two cases: Case 1: Go to URL: http://kmaheshbhat.astaho...

Naturally, there are many ad-rotation plug-ins for almost every CMS around. But I'm wondering
whether there's a certain plug-in recommended for rotating between the ads of Google AdSense,
AdBrite, Clicksor, Amazon, etc., in such a way that it won't violate the terms of use of any of
those advertisement services. If anyone knows about such a plug-in, it'd be VERY HIGHLY
appreciated /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.
Thanks in advance!...

I haven’t made any progress on Drupal since I installed Xampp. I guess one of the challenges is
that there are so little templates out there for Drupal (php driven). And writing one is more
challenging than I thought. I have the xhtml part down, and I know some basic php, so why is
putting both together so hard? Should I general some more contents for my website before I go crazy
with design? But then there is the whole taxonomy model. Would I mess everything up if I don’t
categorize everything up front? Anyways, just getting very frustrated with Drupal. I am sur...

I have been running a site for couple of months that is powered by Drupal. And I like the way
Drupal handles everything. It is kind of lean and mean, when compared to the other CMS that I
checked out at OpenSourceCMS.com. But it has one down side that I must accept. It does not have a
decent forum. I am sure, if I say this over at Drupal.org, I would be staked and asked what feature
does Drupal forum not have. If I give few of the features out of the whole list, I would be given a
module each to substitute for each feature. And in a way, what they say is true. A ...

Wondering if anyone has tried to update to drupal 5? I have gone through their instructions on
updating the install I did off the cPanel (from 4.7). I had to set the settings.php writable but
now I get a crazy error: CODE ray( 'content' => $content, 'region' => $region,
'title' => $title )); } /** * Default callback for PHPTemplate. * * Load a template file,
and pass the variable array to it. * If the suggested file is not found, PHPTemplate will attempt to
use * a $hook.tpl.php file in the template directory, and failing that a * $hook.tpl....

Looks like this will be the second time I post in this category before a response, this could
potentially go in the programming or web design categories but since I plan to modify Drupals
taxonomy module for this Im looking for readers/commenters familiar with Drupal (unless another CMS
would be better). Im working on building my site and have the intention of designing a prefference
engine for my visitors, based off the visitors history and off of user generated preference data I
would like to have an engine that will present the viewer with content of interest to them...

I've been wondering about setting up RSS feeds, but the diverse tutorials I've come across
are confusing and sometimes contradicting... Espacially on a Drupal CMS package. I just want to try
and set-up a small, RSS news feed, but I'm wondering if someone can explain the details and
what's-what on RSS. Much appreciated!...

As usually, Firefox is nothing but a breeze, but Iexplorer is a gigantic pain in the ass.
http://hk.astahost.com/stimaphl It's a in "early development" cms about a marketing foundation
branch of a few friends of mine on college. I've installed a bunch of modules, of which none
seem to give errors or conflicts, but the site simply does not load in iexplorer. There is a prompt
about an error in the WYSIWYG editor module I installed, but that only reflects on input forms on
content creation ONLY. I've tried several people to test it, and they had the same r...

Thnx all for ur replies regarding Drupal 5. I m currently running WAMP 5, all i did was coppied my
Drupla 5 folder to my www directory and created a database for it in MySQL using PhPMyadmin. It
worked perfectly when i run it for the first time. But with Wordpress when i do the same, i receive
a message saying that 'it can not me installed on the localhost, it could be done on localhost.
domain.com'. I wonder if any one else has had the same problem, if so, please let me know.
Regards...

Hello all, I was building a site in dereamweaver that would communicate with a MySQL database. But i
found it a bit hard to do blogs in dreamweaver, so a few days ago came accross Drupl. Its not too
bad as the option it gives you with out really too much effort, but the help files and forums arnt
great. Can any one please suggest some good book or any other resource on learning drupal the easy
way?? /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />...

Lately, I have been thinking on moving from the Wordpress engine to Drupal engine. I already have a
Drupal engine (4.7) running at my root. (www.example.com/) and I have my blog running in a
subfolder (www.example.com/blog). Now, here is why I think I should be moving my Wordpress blog
into Drupal: - Both my site and the blog, deals with providing articles and content - Though, posts
and writeups are a bit fast moving on the blog, they are rather timeless, and according to my
pipeline - I would use them to make in depth articles/content at my site. - I can have better ...

QUOTE After 8 months of development we are ready to release Drupal 5.0 to the world. Today is
also Drupal's 6th birthday, so the timing could not be more perfect. Drupal 4.0 was released in
2002 and finally we feel confident to increase the major version number from 4 to 5. Drupal powers
sites across the web, ranging from the personal weblog of Tim Berners-Lee, podcast sites like
TWIT.tv, community driven sites like SpreadFireFox.com, artist communities like Terminus 1525 to
large media sites like TheOnion.com, MTV and even sites for NASA. There have been over ...

Yesterday I had my account setup and the first thing I did was to install Drupal Content
Management System from my cPanel. But I am at a loss as to what to do next! I looked at the themes
Drupal offered on their website and didn’t really like any of them. I found some other PHP themes
on the web, but I don’t know if they will work for Drupal. Are there specific requirement for
Drupal themes? Their manual and documents are so confusing; I wonder if someone on the forum can
answer my questions? ...

Well, I just installed Drupal 5 days ago succesfully. Have also used quite a few modules of Drupal.
As everyone realizes, not many layouts are present for Drupal. I've hust selected one and
proceeding with it. (Layout can be changed anytime). Though I had quite some frustrating times with
Drupal, this one is the most frustarting one. Well, there are modules like Forum, Blog, Book etc
for putting content up there in the site. Actually my problem is, I want separate pages for these
and I want my front page to contain only articles. I want to keep liks for Blog, Foru...

I am writing a Drupal theme and I would like to test it out before using it on my website. Is
there a way to test it? ...

I installed Drupal for my website, and am having a walk in the park for almost all the modules. The
one module that I am finding it hard to understand is the Taxonomy module. It is one of the most
confusing and hard-to-learn module in the Drupal, but I went through few of their documentation and
I realized that it is a powerful tool for categorization. Since I am planning on launching a site
that contains quality articles, and these articles need to be categorized, I understood that I need
to use this module soon as the artcile-base starts growing. Could some one...

Most people probably already know this, but it took a little while for me to figure it out.
1. Configure your Public_html folder Access your files through FTP, Under folder “public_html”
rename file “.htaccess” to “ORIGNAL.htaccess” Right click on the renamed file “ORIGNAL.htaccess”,
select “File Attributes” and uncheck “Group Permission” so that the total is 600. 2. Install
Drupal From your CPanel home, under “Fantastico” click on Drupal (under Content Management) Click
on “New Installation”, fill in the information except for leave the directory filed empt...
