Installing Drupal

Just installed Drupal today. Very clean install, great work!

I thought that the Jabber Authentication was a great idea, and good for the community I have in mind. However, I have my Jabber server purposely configured to only accept SSL connections. It appears that the Jabber module for Drupal doesn't have this functionality.

Is this correct? And are there any plans to add such a feature?

My client loves drupal, but wants to have it automatically convert 2 line feeds to a paragraph break
(<p /> or <br /><br />).

Other content management systems I have worked with did this automatically, but I can't find anything
regarding this feature in the drupal documentation.

Thanks,

Ross

Hello all,

I'm trying out Drupal right now and i'm looking at how flexible Drupal is with it's site design/layout. I would like to use Drupal for a large amount of very different sites (portals/personal sites/company sites). Can anyone give me some directions/tips on how to see how flexible Drupal really is ?

I've seen the concept of building your sites from blocks but how about the site hierarcy. How easy is it to connect pieces i've build in php into Drupal.

Lot of questions ;-)

Greetings,
Bart.

Hi,

can you give me some advice? I'm using 4.3.0 and I need to have nodes with one or more files attached to them, I've been browsing the projects and the forums and looks like the Filestore and the Attached_file modules are solutions, which one should I use?

I also need per node permissions, I've tried the groups module even though my user taxonomy is quite short :P is there a simpler way to achieve per node permissions?

Thanks a lot, Drupal rules! :D

I'm experimenting with setting up a drupal web site, and would like to understand the distinction between stories and forum topics, so I can understand which to recommend creating for typical posts.

Both stories and forum topics seem to be things that have a title, body, and comments hanging off them. In fact, it seems that forum topics are just stories that happen to be created inside a forum (as opposed to stories that are created on the front page).

I'm having an issue with drupal reordering my thumbs within a node without me wanting it to.

In my code for a story or book page, I have the following order of images:

--Here's what's entered in:
image numbers: 74 71 76 65 66 45 46 75 42 73 44 52 53 72 49 62 63 78 51
--But what shows up on the page:
image numbers: 42 62 44 45 46 49 51 52 53 63 65 66 71 72 73 74 75 76 78
