I came on here to gripe about the time I and others waste going down exactly the same route.
This is a typical situation for many!
I have spent a week looking for a solution (video in my case) – so many options – so many bugs – so much configuration – so much incompatibility and so little documentation.
Delay, delay ,delay, frustration....
I lose so much time wondering is it me or is it the modules or is it both when all I want is a simple stable solution that others use and is tried and tested.
I think when people find a combination of modules that works after working through all the gotchas they don’t have the right state of mind or time to write down their exact setup and then start the real documentation ie document host setup, drupal version and module used and their version numbers etc!!!! before they start giving advice about how to set things up correctly.
Anyway griping serves no purpose unless you have a solution.
This can be fixed. - and its EASY.
ROI would be enormous IMHO. This would save so much time for everyone – worth $$$$$ to drupal.org
Add a form in the user profile to record the users drupal setup details (that can also be visited via the users username so when they post people can easily check their setup).
