Drupal 7.x

Hi, I'm a beginner. I've just installed Drupal 7 with XAMPP on Windows XP. I've created a vocabulary (myvocabulary) with many nested terms. With Pathauto I would like to create urls such as www.example.com/parent_term/child_term.

In "Configuration » Search and metadata » URL aliases" I've set "Pattern for all myvocabulary paths" to [term:parent]/[term:name].

I've enabled also "Bulk generate aliases for terms that are not aliased".

do you think that a connection with http://openvbx.org/ of civicrm.org and drupal could be useful to improve telemarketing functions?

I spotted some tracking code in a module (code not currently hosted on d.o) today, and it made me wonder. Just an <img> tag sneaked into hook_install().

Are there rules about modules and privacy? Is this a potential security issue? (I know that the update module is opt-in, and anonymises for security reasons.)

What do you think about modules circumventing the update module stats collection to directly track installations?

Hi,

i set an URL alias for the front page which is "home", yet, despite i enter only my site domain in the address bar the page is still redirected to node/1 no matter if i add "home" at the end of my domain address. How can i get rid of that "node" so it displays always "home"?

Thank you.

Hi team,

I'm new to Drupal so I am starting fresh with 7 alpha. I have a specific task in mind, so I was looking for some friendly direction - is it possible with Drupal, and should I be looking at specific modules instead of writing my own?

The task:

I need to have users sign up and add a "node" to a collection of nodes.

When adding the node, they are asked specific questions. An example would be a car database website. The user adds a "car" node, and in doing so they are asked specific questions (some may be unstructured data like car name, others may be structured and pre-defined like body type, year, etc). The questions are layed out along with appropriate input types (text fields, drop down lists, radio buttons, etc).

Upon submission, this data is collected and placed into a new node.

Once the node is created, it is flagged for approval by a moderator before being set to public.

When an existing node is displayed to a user, the collected data is layed out in a pre determined fashion, but not too dissimilar from the node creation.

The nodes do not have to be linked in a child/parent fashion - in fact, it is better if they are just a collection of nodes.

For a new project I have set up a Drupal 7 site. It will have lots of images, so it seemed easiest to go straight to D7 instead of setting everything up in D6 and then spend much time migrating it over. So fare I find the latest Alpha really stable and easy to use. I have set up an image node and configured an image field. That all works fine, but how can I manage to place an image inside the body text of, for instance, a blog post?
