Drupal 7.x

This might be helpful to someone trying to get a system configured.

I had created custom content types for what will be a newspaper archive. Most of the fields are Text, but List (either both Text and Integer) made more sense for some.

Testing showed that some worked better as text, so I deleted the list fields and recreated them. But after that I got a 500 error when I attempted to edit any of the remaining list fields. No error showed up in either the Drupal or Apache logs.

I eventually disabled the Lists module, then re-enabled it. The problem went away.

I've toyed with Drupal for some time, but always encounter the same choice: ease-of-use or power. Is there a middle position with Drupal? Can I get all the power needed for a news site with Drupal without sacrificing overwhelming resource needs and a hydra-like morass of dependancies? There seems three choices: build a system from the ground-up, (which can be akin to DIY pyramids in ancient Egypt), OpenPublish (which is really optimized for larger organizations) or ProsePoint, which is quasi-supported.

I am using drupal 7 . After installing views module, only title( subject) for any node like forum topics, blogs, etc. is seen. The body is not visible. What may be the reason?

I'm rather confused here. Installed latest D7 release, no WYSIWYG editors. Using Filtered HTML input format. All of my quotes are being escaped with a backslash before them.

I checked my php_info and it says that magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime are both turned off locally. magic_quotes_gpc is turned ON for the 'master value', but that shouldn't matter, right?

What else could be causing this? I've only enabled a few modules.

Hi, I've been using drupal for a while, and one of my favorite features is sub-themes. I've used them a lot in drupal 6.x, but I can't figure out how to do it in drupal 7.x Is there documentation or a how-to anywhere? For now I just want to override page.tpl.php. I've created my own folder for the subtheme and added the line:
base theme = mayo but I continue to get errors. I think the problem is that I don't fully understand the structure of the new info files. I would really love any help. Thanks a lot!

I'm creating a module that does some validation when a user creates a new taxonomy term. I want it to run every time that taxonomy_term_save() gets called, which would allow this module to work even when terms are created programmatically, not just in the taxonomy form. I looked at using hook_taxonomy_term_presave() but that gets the term by value; I have no way to unset the term object in the hook to prevent it from being added in the parent function.

I'm sure there's a way that I'm just not seeing. Can someone please advise on the best way to approach this?
