Drupal 6.x

so i don't mean to draw crazy attacks here but i'm wondering what the worst thing is that can happen if registered users have access to full html across the site for submitting (blogs, pages, stories, etc)...it obviously makes it easy to embed videos from video sharing sites (which is why i have it up that way) - but what's the worst in d6? could somebody take down the site? infect users? embed horrific scripts and so on? if so, is there an easier way to allow for users to embed videos from 3rd party sites in d6 (some modules aren't there yet, so wondering about right now/this month)

Hi, I'm a Drupal newbie, and naturally, I have to dive right in from zero to creating a large custom theme for a client of mine.

I am creating the theme from scratch, so I copy/pasted files form Garland and largely cleared out their .css and the page.tpl.php file (which is, as I understand it, the main layout file for the whole site (correct me if I am wrong).

Good day, all. I've been experimenting with a Drupal 6 site, getting familiar with the installation, maintenance, etc., and I think I'm ready to take the plunge. In searching these fora and the handbooks I note that I still don't have a good grasp about where some of the replacement functionality for some core needs of my website ought to come. I'll list the few that are holding me back from jumping in, and when I get some pointers I'll start migrating.

I thank you in advance for your patience; having been a Userland Frontier / Manilla / Radio user since the beginning my brain is hurting with this new structure and terminology.

Hi,
I am trying to build a web app using Drupal for a client who wants to display different kind of content based on the Geo Location of the visitor e.g if the user is from Alberta show certain kind of information compared to user from ON. Can somebody tell me if it there is some module i can use for doing this and also any sample or tutorial will be helpful.

Thanks
Manoj

Hey guys

Anyone know of a dark background theme that can be used with Drupal 6.x ????

My current website is: www dot bs-gc dot net
e107 is fantastic; I love it and use it for most of my other websites.
It is very easy to use considering I don't know html, php, javascript, etc.
I made the theme from scratch, exactly copied from an existing static page.

e107 is based around the standard 'news/articles/forum' model. However, for this particular site, I'm now actually thinking it might be better if a more fluid, organic model was utilised, with the emphasis on blogs, commenting and tagging; this might encourage the children and teachers to use it more as a fun, interactive resource than a 'repository of resources'. And I can easily imagine how Drupal can facilitate this type of use.

Plus, I'm very drawn to drupal's ability (add-on module) to provide every user with their own upload folder. And its AJAX/web2.0 features and 'feel' seem to be way ahead of the other CMS. I also remember reading that there is a moodle bridge (I know about the DrupalEd project, but feel moodle is still the best option at the moment). Additionally, the 'multi-site' capability might be handy for an associated alumni site, saturday school, summer school, etc (not too sure what 'multi-site' is, but I guess it is the ability to have seperate sites without reinstalling everything several times?)

BUT I also need to keep the following features from the traditional 'model':
