Drupal 6.x

Good day all,

I own an IT company, and one of my clients has a Drupal 6.22 install that they use for their business. It's a pharmacy, and the pharmacist consults with hospitals and patients. This information is kept inside Drupal via PDF's. Their Drupal site is exceptionally slow, and has been for quite a while. I've tried everything I can think of, including moving their account to a VPS thinking maybe it was running out of resources. After that didn't help, I'm out of ideas and was hoping someone of here could help.

Little background for you guys:
*I have quite a bit of web experience, mostly with Joomla and sites I've built from scratch, but I definitely wouldn't consider myself a web programmer. I am comfortable modifying files, and navigating around the file structure. I have NO Drupal experience other that tinkering with this site.

*This site is hosted through HostGator. I have about 20 sites hosted through them and have had no issues, but if you think a different host is the solution I'm open to try it. As mentioned, I tried moving their account to a VPS with no change in performance. We migrated back to shared hosting.

*Their site is pushing 9GB, mostly PDF files. Their DB is 176MB, with 250MB of overhead.

Hello All,

If possible, can anyone provide any suggestions on how to tackle this issue. I'm trying to create a user directory using Views and Content Types. The directory will contain a listing of users, and allow for an individual page for each user. The user's information page will be auto-populated via the View and the user will be able to edit other information on the page (i.e. bio, interests, etc.). Currently, I have a View that is constructed using a Data Table, as I have all of the user info. in the table. I've read quite a bit on Views and Relationships.

how can run a code php (that read and insert values in db)
only one time for every day?

I read that is possible with rules, but how? I not found good tutorial;

think also with hook_cron is possible but problem is:
for run cron is necessary
1) set cron job by server (at moment I am in localhost and cannot use)
2)poorman but isn' t possible set theexactly time and also suck
other modules ..

is better which rules and how?

ther are other solutions?

Our client has a Drupal 6 site that he wants to mass populate with users (about 400 to start) and I can't seem to find a module that will allow you to import a csv with usernames and email addresses to do a mass create. I would prefer Drupal to create the passwords but a stock password that Drupal would then hash would work too. Any modules out there that can do a mass create and not just a mass update or import existing? Thanks!

Hi I'm wondering if anyone could tell me how to trigger an automatic JQuery Fancybox or Colorbox popup on page load. I found the following which works with lightmodal but it doesn't suit my needs. Could someone show me how to do the same with Fancybox or Colorbox? I'd prefer to display the content with a hidden div rather than a link if that's not any more difficult to accomplish.

Hi everybody

I use the FCK-Plugin for editing my contents in Drupal.
For the FCK I wrote a little plugin that creates a certain button in the toolbar.
It allows me to apply an URL to a selected text.

But if I want to append this URL with the username of the logged in user,
how do manage?

I tried to figure out the username in my FCK-Plugin-PHP like this:
