Fast CPU, 8GB RAM.....how can I make WAMP run faster?

Hi All

I've googled this a bit and looked around the forums here a bit - but I haven't found anything that's really helping as yet.

Most apps have a bottleneck in terms of speed - be it CPU, memory or disk.

My WAMP server is up and running, but I'd like to be able to run Drupal as fast as possible locally. When I look at my task manager - nothing is spiking and I'm running an SSD disk as my O/S which is barely being touched.

Taxonomy-Specific CSS in page.tpl.php

I'd like to display a changing body CSS class for each taxonomy term. I assume I'll have to create a function in template.php in order to display the taxonomy term(s) in page.tpl.php. How can this be done in Drupal 7?

I created a div in page.tpl.php where

class="<?php print $body_class; ?>"

should display the page's taxonomy term(s).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Kind regards, Tom

Function I Require for My Website

So, I have just set up a new Drupal 7 website (I have used Drupal multiple times in the past, obviously because it's awesome), and I have realized I want some features that do not come with Drupal by default. Now, I'm not just coming and asking without first doing some research, so keep in mind, I have looked around to find modules that implement the functionality I require, just without success.

So, I'll just get right to that list:

  1. First and last name in profile and used for post attribution ("by")
    • I need it to require this information on account creation
    • I have tried using the modules:
      • profile2
      • realname
  2. Restrict forums to authenticated members
    • Permissions only allow you to show all published content or none, can't just restrict forums
  3. Embeddable google calendar.

For showing real names, the profile2 module does fine for adding the fields to the profile and registration, but does not set them as tokens, therefore the realname module cannot use them.

For restricting the forums, I know you can easily make it so the link to them only appears to authenticated members, but the path still exists. I need it so that unauthenticated members cannot access the forums.

White stripe at the top of zen

I'm having the same problem as described here http://drupal.org/node/179381 but since I'm on Drupal 7 there is no style.css to modify.

Can anyone help me on how this is done for 7?

my ultimate goal is to create something like the IceMan skin for skyportal that can be seen on http://skyportal.liveair.net/

Books

What would be the best book to buy for Drupal 7 that would teach, views, CCK, Ctools etc. and also important steps for beginners.

Thanks
Rocky
