Hi ALL! great to be here. After dealing with the limitations of Joomla and the HUGE HUGE upload time and buried in folders code, and after studying EVERY other OpenSource CMS... well here I am..!

So: nervous about the new 'easy-ing' of Drupal installs. [version 4.8? 5.0]

Can I ask some of the gurus:

Hi,
I am a new Drupal user. I realized that Drupal is too much Forum and Blog oriented. I am trying to make a site that has layout like Paypal.com's that has nothing to do with forum or blog, but I can't find a easy way so far and I got stucked. Any tips?
thanks.

Hello guys, is there an easy way to import a list of products via csv or text delimited into the ecommerce module?

In a test environment I tried to use phpMyAdmin and tried to directly import the data product into the MySQL ecommerce tables, but not sure what are all the tables involved.

I use the ec_transaction_product, because I saw the products title and other data in the insert code, but I think the correct table is ec_product.

I manually entered some products and then I created an export sql code for this table for example:

CREATE TABLE `ec_transaction_product` (
`txnid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`nid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`vid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`title` varchar(128) default NULL,
`price` decimal(10,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',
`qty` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`expires` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`data` text,
`is_recurring` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`price_interval` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`price_unit` varchar(5) NOT NULL default '',
`price_cycle` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`auto_charge` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`last_notify` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
UNIQUE KEY `txnid` (`txnid`,`nid`),
KEY `txnid_2` (`txnid`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

INSERT INTO `ec_transaction_product` VALUES (1, 1, 1, 'Test Accolate', 55.00, 1, 0, 's:6:"a:0:{}";', 0, 0, '', 0, 0, 0);

Hello,

I've inserted pdf's onto my webpages in the past w/out a problem. Now, for some reason when I insert a pdf on a webpage...and save it...when I go to the site and click on it, it takes me to a Google sign in page rather than the pdf.

I did the usual process...went to the browswer, brought the pdf forward onto the list on the website and clicked "ok" to connect it with the hypertext line on my webpage...for whatever reason...it's not connecting...never got the "Google" page before, either!

Any suggestions?
