Why is the 'home' page special out of the box, and how do I make it not?

Hi there

Just setup Drupal 7, which I know is still in alpha, but figure as I have no immediate production need, I might as well start with.

I basically want to have a few 'Basic Page' contents, each with a menu item. I want one of them to be a home page - so I chose 'Promote to front'. This has a few things I don't want:

1) I don't just want a summary - I want the page to be shown as it would when selected via the menu
2) I want it to be called home and actually *be* home. If I just call it home, the breadcrumbs say 'Home -> Home'

Multiple file upload in D7. How?

Hi everyone!

Discovering Drupal 7 I have found (with help of friends) a managed_file field.
As I can see, there is no ability to use it directly for multiple file uploading. Is it right?
How can I solve this problem?
In Drupal 6 I used the Upload.module which works well, allowing me to upload files one by one. It is the most preferable way to be used in the site for me.

what happens to my site with Drupal 7

Hello,

I'm developing a new site and setting it up in Drupal 6. My host is at godaddy and they use Drupal 6. I'm not sure how it works, but what will happen to my site when they decide to switch over to Drupal 7? Will I need to download every single new module and set them all up again to get everything to work again? And what about the custom preprocess code I've written - do I have to address all of that too? And my databases and users - will that be compromised?

Help...

Thank you.

Node generation script

Hi,

I am in process of migrating data from legacy database to Drupal7. I have created a content type (via CCK) with only one field 'title' (I removed the 'body' which is there by default). So basically my nodes will contain only a single string - the title.

I have written a script which will create a node for my new one field content type for any entry in my legacy database. What the script does for each entry is:

- Get the biggest nid in 'node' table (nextId).
- Get the biggest vid in 'node' table (nextId).
- Compare both and use the bigger value as a start point of nid incrementation - GEN_ID
- Insert a row in 'node' table:

INSERT INTO node VALUES (<GEN_ID>,<GEN_ID>,'person','und', <TITLE_VAL>, 1, 1, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), 2, 1, 0, 0, 0);

- Insert a row in 'node_comment_statistics' table:

INSERT INTO node_comment_statistics VALUES ( <GEN_ID>, 0, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), NULL, 1, 0);

- Insert a row in 'node_revision' table:

INSERT INTO node_revision VALUES ( <GEN_ID>, <GEN_ID>, 1, <TITLE_VAL>, '', UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), 1, 2, 1, 0);
