General discussion

I got some curious visits over the weekend in the watch dog log. How can I block IP address ? What can I do? Thanks folks

What do you think? : ( i have replaced my URL with "mywebsite.here" in below examples)

hi,

I've decided to bring seveal quality cms to my virutal learing website, so that people interested in the cms can have good understanding of how to implement good web sites by using cms. drupal is my first try.

I decided to use ibm's series articles as a general framework for teaching, but with teacher's own modification and changes if she/he seems it necessary.

The course will be open to the public for free. The goal is to let the students design pretty preofessional drupal site after the class.

I'm not even sure this subject title is the correct sentence, but it sort of encapsulates what i'm trying to say. And hopefully enough people read it?

What I am thinking of doing and I'm again very very new and would appreciate any comment is how do i give back to the community? I am thinking like this, I have a site which can be commercialised... or a concept or and a site which is based on drupal which I think can benefit from a different ownership structure, ie. giving back to the community, ie. give back and allow the legal ownership to rest with the Drupal foundation and to which commercial rewards (if any) fllows back to the Drupal community?

Is there such a system or framework or legal system in place that allows it?

Firstly my thoughts are,

(a) the project can benefit from the community and its developers, it can stand as an achievement to the foundation and of the system.

(b) it allows me to free myself up and take say a small royalty or some sort

(c) its profitable and the community wins as the profits other than payment of royalty is ploughed back into the organisation, it becomes a non profit organisation of sort?

In other words, the drupal foundation undertakes or participates in commercial activity for its own benefit?

Does this make sense? Of course only if the foundation committee felt my project has merit? It would be a testatment to other communities and make Drupal a stronger force?

Hello,
I'm trying to extract the video ID in youtube's video URL.
Example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4qJ0cKeeka&mode=related&search=something
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4qJ0cKeeka

I will use below code however can't figure out how to match that pattern.

Hi,

I have used Joomla on other sites, and am looking into starting to use Drupal, it looks like a more organised / mature system.

One thing I want to create is a booking calendar type view, the site I am creating is a holiday rentals site for 1/2 properties, and I would like to display an annual calendar with availability shown.

Is there a module (or another way) which will enable me to get and updae this view easily?

Thanks
