Installing Drupal

Hi everyone,

I have to build a small biz site featuring product images and descriptions. Has anyone done anything like this before? - If so, what modules did you use and can you give any thoughts helpful to this?

Eventually I'd like to expand the site to include several things drupal is good at (like community etc) but for now I just need a basic 'shop look' with no ecomerce functionality.

I'd also like the owner (my mother hehe!) to be able to upload new product pics and write descriptions and titles for the new pages. Possible?

Many thanks

Nick

Hi all,
can anyone suggest to me what sgould be done to port taxonomy_html to Drupal CVS ??
Trying to use it, I get 'page not found' message.
The reason is that taxonomy_dhtml works fine, but it is too heavy for my site...

Thanks to all !!

Apache 2.0.47
PHP 4.3.3 RC4
MYSQL 4.0.1b
Drupal 4.3.2
window xp

I go a problem, I place localhost, I can access the server from within my local network, but it doesn't function correctly outside of the network. If I set it to the proper site, http://myip, everyone on the internet can log in successfully, but I cannot log in from my local network.

I have some data in Movable Type that I want to import into a new drupal installation. I borrowed the technique discussed at http://www.cogentdude.com/node/view/11 (use a special MT template to create a file containing all entries in XML, then use perl and XML::SAX to parse the file and output mysql insert statements in a text file, and pipe that into mysql command line client).

hi,

I'm new to Drupal, and I'm loving it...

Since there's no "shoutbox" module available (a feature very dear to my users), I "adapted" a script I was using before so the user name is automatically inserted in the "shout"... I basically put the script output inside an Iframe, and the form to submit the shouts outside it, so I can insert the user name in a <hidden> tag (to stop anonymous postings)

I created a php block with the following code:

global $user;
if ($user->uid) {
return ("<IFRAME name=Bocas marginWidth=0 marginHeight=0 src=\"/bocas/viewshoutbox.php\" frameBorder=0 width=170 scrolling=auto height=300></IFRAME>
<br>
<br>
<form name=sbx action=/bocas/shoutbox.php target=Bocas>
<input type=hidden name=action value=add>
<input type=hidden name=nick value=" . $user-> name ." title=Nome>
<input type=text name=shout size=22 maxlength=120 value=\"\" class=editbox title=Bitaite>
<input type=submit name=Submit value=enviar class=button>
</form>");
}

The problem is that all the extended characters submitted by the form are being replaced as follows:

ç -> ç
ã -> ã
à -> Ã
é -> é
è -> è
ó -> ó
º -> º
ê -> ê

and so on... (I'm Portuguese, and we have a lot of extended characters)

Also, I'm almost absolutely sure I've seen this elsewhere in my test site (the same were I'm using this "hack" I'm having problems with), this time in a Drupal "native" feature, but can't remember where...

Firstly, I have to say that this newly discovered "Drupal" is *really cool* - seriously.

Got a glitch though. I've set up forums and all looks good. But when a non-admin user posts a new comment, the comment gets stored in the comments table and the user is told "Your post will appear once it's been accepted". All good.

Trouble is, that new forum comments just seem to "vanish". The view_submissions link, I now see, only looks at create_content/node submissions. So I'm not surprized to not find the new forum comment in there.
