Drupal 6.x

Hi all,

I’m using Drupal 6.1, and the CCK modules aren't yet ported to Drupal 6.x.

Is there any way for users to search other users by more than just their user name? I created a customized profile with the user's location and area of expertise as two primary search items I'd like available for others to search (i.e. find all users on the site who are from Boston who are in the entertainment industry, or even just find the keyword "Boston" in any profile field). Is there any way to do that in Drupal 6.1 yet? I've read a lot about the content profile module which can be searched just like any other content nodes for keywords, but it doesn't look like I can make any customized fields on the content profile without using the CCK module (which unfortunately is not ported to 6.1 yet).

I want users to be able to search other users’ profiles quickly and efficiently. I found the table where the profiles are stored in my MySQL database. Is there a way to query the user database itself and just report the uid (user id) from my website (without using phpmyadmin or even being an administrator)? Or perhaps placing a search engine bar (Google, FreeFind, etc.) on my site?

Hi all,

I have perhaps 16000 taxonomy terms in one vocabulary (it's botanical), and would love to link to the /taxonomy/term/# in such a way that they look like the current url_alias destinations.

This so that, if I so wish, I can twitch the URL aliases from, say, /plants/achillea-millefolium to /plants/achillea/millefolium.html, without breaking site-internal links.

I've tried to search the drupal modules, I've done google searches on drupal, and I can't find any way to do that.

Hi there,

I'm trying to write an install function for my first module. I want it to have a link in the primary menu, and the following db query does that for me apart from the field "options." I'm doing this via a db query since the available menu hook only allows me to add a link to the personal menu(??? is that right???)

Hi,

We're using the story node type exclusively for news.

We have a custom front page and we'd like to generate a list of "stories" or news items.

I've written a quick function to get the latest 10 items from a database and present as an XML/RSS feed.

Im at a loss however about creating a list for stories.

I presume this is all something that has to be done manually using my own custom functions. But has anyone got the basic framework that can produce pages of results?

Please excuse me because I am new to Drupal : ) Can I use drupal to develop a website which will have the a secure backend database which I can access, and others, to display the appropriate database information and also data such as text, images, video and sound? If so can someone point me to a good example and maybe a template. I know this is a bit vague but I would be extremely grateful if someone would assist?

So i'm newish to drupal and the set of modules. Can anyone suggest a module or combination of module to do the following:

1. Form with file upload
2. Form needs other info (metadata) about the file from the user, ie. category, doc type, etc
3. Once uploaded and sorted this file needs to be checked and approved by different groups (work flow)

Can this be accomplished with existing modules? or do I need to consider writing a custom module?
