Drupal 7 slow, BUT I am on to something!

Hi All,

I am investigating how to speed up drupal 7. More information can be find in this topic: http://drupal.org/node/1018126 , however the solutions presented there are all when you have control over your server, which I have not because I am on a shared hosting. I checked with my hosting though, whether my site is taking up too much resources, but they say it isn't. And then I noticed somthing strange...

I have 2 almost identical drupal 7 installs, both without caching, on the same server, with the same database user account, but with different databases (same type though: MySQL ISAM). The first site is:
http://basis.gburg.nl
The second is:
http://basistest.gburg.nl
The home page on the first domain loads in 1-1.2 seconds, the second one in ~500-600ms. That is a whopping 2 times faster. This difference is typical for all pages. The strange thing is, I can't seem to find out why...

All modules are the same. All the settings are the same. (I checked).

Views 3 and language

Hello

I'm using two languages on the site. I need to display all of the nodes for some users, but Views automatically filters only the nodes that have user preferred language.

No matter what I choose or don't choose for filters, the result is the same - only one language.
Only one field of the node has language. Anyways - the result of SQL:

...
WHERE field_data_field_X.language = 'en'
...

How can I remove this WHERE clause?

Thanks in advance

dropdown list in views?

Hi All

I'm working on a product catalogue at the moment. This catalogue has about 2000 items in it. I'd like to be able to set up a view that makes this easy for people to search.

The components are for cars and there are around 100 items for Ford, 100 items for Fiat etc etc. The node for each item has 14 fields. Can anyone tell me how I would use views (best option?) to give a dropdown on the manufacturer and then use exposed filters(?) to refine the search?

Thanks

Lightbox-like module with separate thumbnail and "large" image

I have a view which displays a list of items of a content type, let's call this content type Image Pair. Each Image Pair has a thumbnail image and a "large" image. These are separate and the thumbnail does not look the same as the larger image.

Now I'm looking for a way to make my view display the thumbnail images as links which opens the larger image in a lightbox/shadowbox/thickbox/colorbox/etc. All the modules that I have found generate the thumbnail automatically and I can't find a way to have the thumbnail and large image separate.

How could i do this with existing modules?

I run a large volleyball league and need to rank players. I have 4 judges that rank all the players based on several categories (setting, serving, passing, etc.) I then tally the results for an overall player rating between all judges. I'm currently using an excel spreadsheet, but want a web solution where each judge is able to login and modify their ratings, cutting out me as the middle man. I am a developer and could build this out using php/mysql or .net, but i just dont have the time.
