This company can no longer be trusted to store my personal details and I'd like to delete my account. I can't seem to find the option to do this anywhere. Help?

If you'd like to comment on the post, Advanced Views: Concepts and Resources, please do so here.

I was wondering if anyone knows how well Drupal would work as a file repository. Specifically, I work for an industrial facility that has loads of drawings, manuals, work orders, etc. and I would like to store these using drupal because I know views has powerful filtering capabilities. I have already set up a content type that has fields such as equipment type, area, manufacturer, etc. and made a view that gives the user abilities to filter files quickly. How well do you all think this would scale?

Hi,
I want to offer my customers the option of backup their drupal locally. I developed a system based in Backup and Migrate module and some work at server side... I'd like to share with you my work, to receive your feedback, opinions, improvements... if you think it could be useful ;-)

Install Backup and Migrate drupal module

Schedule suggestion: weekly and 3 month copies, keeping last 12 in both categories.
Thus, we are going to keep copies from last 3 years.

In Cpanel, add a new ftp account with these details:

∘ user: web_backup
∘ password: (your choice)
∘ Directory: DRUPAL_BASE_DIRECTORY/web_backup
∘ quote: your choice (ex 200MB)

At server DRUPAL_BASE_DIRECTORY, as root:

# chmod 700 web_backup
# nano web_backup_info.txt

Put here any useful info and save the file

# nano web_backup.sh

And, there:

Drupal_Path="/home/calbasi/www/web"
tar cf $Drupal_Path"/web_backup/web_backup_sites.tar" $Drupal_Path"/sites/default/settings.php"
gzip -f $Drupal_Path"/web_backup/web_backup_sites.tar"
_now=$(date +"%Y_%m_%d")
cat $Drupal_Path"/web_backup_info.txt" > $Drupal_Path"/web_backup/LastBackupDate_$_now.txt"
mail -s "EMAIL_SUBJECT" "EMAIL_TO_ADDRESS" <<EOF
EMAIL_BODY (IN SEVERAL LINES)
...
EOF

Then, we add a cron task:

# crontab -e

Hi everyone,

I want to make certain content types in my D6 available only to registered users. This seems simple enough with Content Access but it's D7 release is in Beta. I plan to upgrade in August.

So, how would you handle this in D7?

Many thanks,
