I have a comp sci degree and I have now read most of four Drupal books, and I have watched dozens of videos, and I just don't get it. I have installed v6 and v7 on my MAMP stack. Then I switched to Drupal Gardens ('cause I guess that's supposed to be the easiest) but no cigar. I'm trying to replicate a simple static website, and I can't get the content to show up. There are about 10 pages, and they're supposed to show main content and ancillary content in area C, but only the main content shows up.
I'm having a few issues with the Organic Groups module and permissions. Besides people not receiving emails that I broacast to the whole group (I guess I'll save that for later. It NEVER WORKS!), when I masquarade as a different user, there seems to be some things that an authenticated user cannot access. For example: within a specific content type that I have created, there is a field that when the authenticated user trys to create it, they cannot access.
I would like to add additional attributes the the File Module. I am a developer, but new to Drupal and am trying to determine to correct approach. I am in the process of learning the lingo within Drupal.
1) Can I/Should I sub-module the core module (File);
2) Do I just create a brand new module and reuse most of the code from File;
I need to add about 4 additional attributes, such as the classification (Security Marking) for the file, status of the file (Working, Draft, Final), Display Name and a couple of others.
<p>This line contains a textfield [textfield?name=txt1]. This is the second line</p>
<p>Second paragraph [textfield?name=txt2]. Etc</p>
What I want is to generate a page (using a module) where the text is scanned and all "[textfield]" is changed to an actual textfield. Without labels or other markup stuff.
