comment_is_new function lost

Hi there,

I'm migratting www.librexpresion.org from Drupal-4.1 to Drupal-4.3 and I've found among other problems this one:

The comment_is_new function that in 4.1 is defined withint comment.module has been removed. I have been using that function from one theme to determine when a comment is new and to put an * in its subject. I think that I may simply copy the function body from older comment.module to the newest but It could be that there's a better (newer) manner to do the same.

What should I do?

Creating new account problems

When trying to create an account recieve this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() in www/drupal430/modules/user.module on line 317

How do i active the mail() function?

Running slackware 9.0, postgreSQL 7.3.4 PHP 4.3.3 and drupal 4.3.0.

recent comments box

Is there a module I can download that will display a "recent comments" box? on the L/R column of my front page?
I moved a community from Scoop to Drupal, and that's the one feature my users really miss.

taxonomy and image.module: only shows first vocabulary in index

Hi,

I created two taxonomy vocabularies,

> home
-> cooking
-> kitchen appliances

> weddings
-> me & her
--> the day after

but when i go to lebox.org/image i don't see the second
vocabulary (weddings) even though i've assigned several
images to it.

both vocabs are assigned to the same types, blog,forum,image,page,story, and
i've done the same things for both of them. but weddings doesn't appear in the
index.

I even just upgraded image.module v1.51.2.11 -> .14 but that didn't help.

Forums and email list integration?

One of the features I'd like to have is to have forums and email lists that are unified... that is, posts to the forum get distributed to email list subscribers, and messages to the email list become forum posts...

From looking at the doc it doesn't seem like this is supported.

Or perhaps at the very least if forum posts could get emailed to people, with a link back to the forum... I assume that's possible? Yes? No? Couldn't find it in the doc or any other discussion (although I confess I'm still finding my way around the doc and the site).

Thanks,

Drupal vs. Macromedia Contribute, and arguments for OSS?

(apologies if this isn't the right forum, and let me know where I should ask this... and this may be a little off-topic...)

I've been looking at Drupal and have been very interested in using it to create the 'next-generation' web site of an organization to which I belong.

The current site is very static and breathtakingly un-inspired (disclaimer: I have had very little to do with the current site because I've been focusing on investigating CMS systems like Drupal to use).

I am pretty excited about using something like Drupal and have started some prototyping, but my time is limited so I haven't made too much headway.

Meanwhile, the other member of our de-facto web committee is a relative web neophyte with lots of time on his hands, and a copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver to boot (we'll be nice and ignore the fact that he frequently posts broken content to the site that I often clean up). Now someone has mentioned Macromedia Contribute to him, and he's rushing off to start using that...
