General discussion

Dumb question, but I was wondering how easy it was to install something like overlib or one of the other javascript tooltip scripts into drupal. Actually I would love to see other tooltip examples, but overlib seems to be the most popular. Or does drupal already have tooltips for nodes and I just am not seeing it? Any help would be apreciated.

I'm not sure which Forum this kind of thing should go in so General Discussion it is. Here are two scripts to create and maintain a Subversion repository of the Drupal core code, along with specific modules and themes, from the main Drupal CVS repository. cvsdrupal can be used independantly to just maintain a local CVS working copy and along with svndrupal they will together create and maintain a full Subversion repository plus a checked out working copy meant to be the local live site for testing. If you prefer to work with and maintain your local Drupal code with Subversion then these scripts could be very useful to you. I'm not aware of any code anywhere that can just about automatically keep a Subversion "mirror" of a CVS working copy, otherwise I'd be using it. I hope I haven't reinvented a wheel but I guess someone will let me know if I have. Feedback and suggestions most welcome. I hope this is useful for someone beside just me.

Is there a way to modify the PHP files on my server through Drupal? Right now, I have to FTP the files to my PC, modify them (using Crimson editor, which can't seem to just connect to the website like it usually does), then FTP them back to the server.

hi, i was wondering if someone could advise me. I'm trying to create a page similar to myspace based mainly around audio/video pages, with an online shop. I've started developing it with drupal, but I've seen something called PHPFox and one called PHPizabi. What would be my best option?

I've a fluid layout and I want a variable number of columns and rows if i resize my window:
how can I theme Acidfree to use it with float thumbs instead of the rigid tag table (and tr, td and so on)

I know that in "setting -> acidfree" i can change the number of columns and rows, but this isn't my solution

Dear Drupal experts,
I'm thinking of using Drupal for creating a scientific calculations web portal. Is it possible and how to do the following things with Drupal:

1. I need to automatically create a user directory for every new user registering to the protal.
2. I need to automatically copy some files to the newly created directory (same files for all users).
3. I need users to have ability to manage files in their own directoris: upload and delete files, make subdirectories etc.
