Short version: sound off about security in Drupal: take this survey.
The Drupal Security Team has existed since 2005 and in that time it has grown in many senses of that word. The original team was 16 people, now 37 people. Originally it provided support for Drupal core and a few hundred modules, now it's covering thousands of contributed modules. The team has created processes and features to better deal with security over the years based on informal feedback gathered in a variety of ways. For example, after complaints that new security releases were sometimes unstable, the team and maintainers now work to create security releases that only include security changes and no bug-fixes nor features.
Help the Security Team at DrupalCon Chicago
At DrupalCon Chicago the Drupal Security Team will once again have a meeting to discuss our processes and see what we can do to improve. Once again we will be guided in part by informal, anecdotal feedback we receive, but we'd also like to do a broad call for feedback.
I'm trying to install the wysiwyg module but I get the following error, File temporary://file3rgxiu could not be copied, because the destination directory /tmp/update-cache is not configured correctly.
I'm trying to develop a simple site that uses a hierarchy of taxonomy to categorize products.
Are there any modules I should be using, apart from Views and Taxonomy?
The problem I am currently facing is Drupal is not recognizing my taxonomy hierarchy.
For example,
We are using external authentication with our site and I would like to find a way to have the external authentication routine also supply the user's roles. For example, when "John Smith" logs in, the authentication routine would also be able to pass back the fact that he is an administrator and assign him the administrator role.
We are converting to 7 from 5.x. In 5.x we accomplished this by actually deleting the user's roles from the user_roles table and reinserting them in the _auth hook. I'm hoping there's a better way in 7.
I am new to Drupal and after installing drupal 7 on my Mac I realized that there was
no default WYSIWYG text editor, and that needed to be downloaded from a wide
range of 3rd party modules.
I chose CKEeditor and followed the drupal site instructions on how to install it.
it's end location is, "sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/ckeditor.js" but still drupal
is telling me that, "There are no editor libraries installed currently."
