Drupal 7.x

I was looking at the Views homepage here on Drupal and I came across this paragraph about flushing cache:
When installing Views on Drupal 7, you absolutely must have CTools of at least alpha4 and you may need to flush cache as much as twice. There are currently issues with core's cache flushing that means one cache flush isn't necessarily enough. Also, if your CTools' version is older than CTools 7.x-1.0-alpha4 things will crash a lot..

Hello all,

My module is using two content types. What is the best way to deliver these two types with my module? Schema API or programmatically create the type usind hook_node_type_insert?

Thank you :)

Hello, I am fairly new to both Drupal 7 and Jquery, how do I incorporate the two when creating a custom sub theme from a Zen Starter Kit? I need help learning to add animation and multimedia functionality if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, I installed a module which led to some problems. I put the site in maintenance mode, fixed the problems and logged out.

My site is now in maintenance mode and I'm logged out. Now whenever I go to log in (by going to mysite.com/user or mysite.com/user/login or mysite.com/?q=user) it just displays the maintenance message.

Thanks in advance for any help.'

EDIT: I fixed the issue, it was to do with my web host, they disabled some essential services accidentally.

Hi there, I have a fairly simple Question:

? How do I "embed" a video in Drupal 7.
? So my goal is that Drupal PLAY the video directly from S3 [in a node], and doesn't have to copy it internally.

The Situation:
- I'm trying to build a simple site to share my video with my coworker.
- I will be the one doing all the uploading
- The video file can sometimes be heavy (800mb) so I MUST upload them directly to S3
- I DON'T need anything that will transcode or move the file, just display a codec (Mp4 ? WMV ? FLV ?)

I'm creating a content type of 'football player' and would like a date of birth field, but I don't see how to create this. Is there something I'm missing, or do I need to simply create it as a text field, or is there an addon I can install to enable this functionality?

Many thanks.
