I’ve Just given up with drupal, I’ve been coming back here and having a go on and off for weeks with no success.
I thought I would give you my experience from a total drupal newb point of view. This is wholly to help not to slate Drupal which is clearly a great cms, because I imagine lots of people like me come along and go away saying nothing.
First off Everyone who has answered my questions on forum posts have been more than helpful you’ve been brilliant and really tried to help thank you.
Drupal mixes up administration and user stuff in a very confusing manner.
Drupal itself gets mixed in with my site so half the time I don’t know if its my site the drupal site or and administration page.
There doesn’t seem to be a differentiation between User and administrator it’s like some strange mutation of a forum where everyone who visits gets to comment on every tiny little thing.
I think the people here are so accustomed and comfortable with Drupal there is a large gap of knowledge between me and the people trying to help.
This is the simple thing I’ve given up on:
I’ve written a little website to help webmaster find relevant links
They enter the url of each page they want to exchange links with.
php functions then retrieve and store information from the url such as the title description and ip address.
The webmaster can then obviously add more pages and delete existing page entries.
