Hi Drupal Community,

I am new to Drupal and I am wrapping my head around all this wonderful information - but it can be a bit daunting at times. I am hoping to make atleast one Drupal friend that I can share some of my highly noobish thoughts with. Friendship isn't entirely one sided - I can bake you cookies or something! Please contact me via yahoo msgr: monika20s or email monika.whitfield@gmail.com.

I hope to hear from someone!

Thank you,

Monika

Hello

I'm very interested in how to extract only the configuration data from my database. This because at some point during development I'm only interested in the configuration (and not the test data) and export it to other developers or prepare something for the live site. But I'm actually also interested in only extracting the content and not the configurations. Any suggestions how to do this with drush? Or should I use a different tool ?

I'am going to open a small community website.I just want to know which is a better choice??
I've already used drupal 7.10 & 6.22, & found that DRUPAL 7 seven is quite slow as comparison to 6.So which will be the better choice for me??

Hi all,

As per subject, I'm installing D7 and I've installed a few modules via web, using the Update Manager + SSH. That's pretty good, however I wonder if there is something similar to what many software systems have (eg, OS update managers, PEAR, Firefox plug-ins). That is: I search for a module from my Drupal installation, it queries an on line module repository and, when I select a module I want to install, it fetches it and optionally its dependencies from the same repository.

Is such a feature available in Drupal? Would be useful if not.

I have a political debate going on right now... and I need some support from the community regarding this issue...

There is someone in the office that is either doing .net or perhaps dreamweaver, and he has told the Boss that he plans on connecting directly to my DRUPAL mySQL databases... he wants to actually run his own sql statements.
He is a novice at best with drupal, and has seen a drupal data base less than 5 hours. He is also not familiar with the DRUPAL security system.

I'm thinking about creating some Drupal visual guides as a supplement or addition to regular written communication. I'm wondering if there is a place for that right here on Drupal.org within the documentation? I was looking at the documentation page editor and it does have an option for inserting an image, but not to upload one. So I would probably have to host the images on an external site and then link to them?

Anybody know if this is possible/welcomed/allowed in the documentation?
