Drupal 7.x

I would like to be able to send an email to all users, or users with the required permission/role.
After an exhaustive search I have found a number of possibilities only to find that the latest available version is for Drupal 6 or less, or that they require integration with some third-party software.
The Contact module in the Drupal core would be adequate for my needs if it were possible to get the email addresses from the database rather than typing them all in long-hand!

Hello,

I'm newbie and I'm using Acquia DAMP installer 7.x to install the latest version of the Drupal i.e. 7.4 but i'm unable to do so. When I import the Drupal core to it it gives me error "Hosts file doesn't exist or is not writable. C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc". The hosts file exist in the folder and I have made that host file writable as well yet i'm not able to import drupal core.

Any solutions please.

Hi all

The following query gives me strange out put on the screen

$utime = time();
$utim = $utime - (3 * 86400);
$result=db_query("SELECT nid FROM node WHERE type = 'zazzle_products' and created>:xtime ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1" ,array(':xtime' => $utim,));
$nid1 = $result->fetchField(0);     

The output i get is the following

I've had a couple of drupal sites over the years and never had any trouble with the loading speed.
Until now... I've created a couple of new websites which sometimes loads very slowly. (Over 2 minutes!)

They were part of a multi-site installation,. So this being my first multi-site, I thought that might be te problem. So I've rebuild the site as a single site installation... but the same problem occurs.

The first page load is very slow (up to 1 / 2 minutes sometimes). Once the page is loaded, the loading time of the gets better by every click on the site... so I thought it had something to do with the caching, but I'm using al the caching options of the default drupal installation (under 'performance').

Furthermore, I've installed Y-slow and the site has a grade A with a performance score of 90.
But still, it sometimes takes over 100 seconds to load... And sometimes it takes less then a sec to load... I can't find any logic behind it...It's driving me creazy... so i hope some one can help me out with this issue.

These are the spec's of my site:
- Drupal 7.2
- Core modules installed:

Do I need to pay if I export my drupalgardens project and upload it on my web host for an commercial use? Is it secure?
