Drupal 7.x

I'm a web developer that uses and loves Drupal. I have been an advocate for it at my place of work and to our clients. The release of Drupal brought about many great upgrades, but I can honestly say that implementing it on recent websites has been a struggle due to the lack of full release modules that support Drupal 7. Many of the modules that I regularly use for basic and advanced functionality are alpha, beta, rc or dev. I have experienced a degradation in some of the usual functionality that I create for clients because of this.

I currently run a forum, that on game day several times a year gets about 500 people online simultaneously.

I want to change this site from vBulletin to Drupal.

However, we are also in the midst of making a deal that will grow the group significantly in size, by an order of magnitude. So 3000-5000 people online at once accessing forum/site will not be out of the question.

The problem is this only happens 2-5 times a year for about 4 hours.

Currently vBulletin and a modest server handle the peak traffic fine.

Any thoughts on what to do about this?

I want to build a site which could host my blogs along with games I could built with php/javascript & add jquery & my own css design.I am still a newbie & still unaware about the flexibility of Drupal. Is this right platform for me? Any advice would be appreciated...

hello dear Community

i am pretty new to Drupal - just got started with D7. well i wonder if there is any chance to see

some Amazon Web Services API-Modules in action!?

love to hear from you
greetings ul

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to get the displayed name from a select list using the form API. I know how to get the id or key value, it's the visible name I'm after. Anyone have any ideas?

e.g. In this example I can get the 0,1,2 from the select box using the $form_state['values']['select'] it's the option1, option2, option3 that I want to get.

When using taxonomy terms (and subterms) to classify content, an RSS Feed is automatically available for every taxonomy term. All nodes tagged with the term appear in the Feed. Great!
But, how do I get all the nodes that are tagged either with the term itself, or tagged with one of it's children, to show up in the term's RSS Feed?

A taxonomy tree, for example:

>Fruit
>>Apples
>>Pears
>>Bananas
>Computers
>>Laptops
>>Desktops
