General discussion

Because I can't get clean URLs working with 4.7.2 and my host (bluehost) nor the .htaccess examples help, I'm wondering whether "dirty" URLs (?q=) can be indexed? Thanks.

I would like to customize an instance of Drupal so that under Create content->story, on the Submit story page it doesn't say "Title:" and have a text field, but rather I want to customize Title: to say something else. Body: can stay as it is.

Can someone tell me where to look to change this?

Thanks!

Hi,

I was evaluating Joomla with VirtueMart component and SMF-forum. With the SMF bridge and few manual code modifications I got pieces working together quite nicely, but there are still troubles with handling registrations.

Now I got Drupal installed and I've been evaluating and adding/removing modules, creating some content for couple of hours and so far it looks good. I really like the idea that different user access level can exist and pretty much anything can be represented as content.

The way I see the difference between Drupal and Joomla is that architecture behind Drupal is more advanced than it's with Joomla. Drupal has a lot of functions and so does Joomla, but with Drupal you actually find operations you are looking for more easily than in Joomla. Joomla has several menus and I noticed I typically had to browse through several menus before I found what I was looking for. Drupal doesn't have many cool looking templates while Joomla has a pretty front end right out of the package. But I think it's more important to have a good base for you house, after that you can paint it with any color you want and that's what I am going to do.

One important reason I am looking towards Drupal is the latest eCommerce module published. I haven't tried that yet, but I am going to do so. I hope I can put together working site where I have the community and eCommerce aspects addressed. I don't mind if it's an apple or orange as long as it works as expected.

Hi

I have been playing with Google web toolkit and Drupal.

Here is what I have done:

I used gwt to create a simple form, and compiled it.

1) I then copied all the compiled files to my Apache web server.
2) The files was copied to a sub directory called gwt.
3) Created an ordinary page in Drupal and made the input format full html. Pasted the following string

into the body.
4) I changed my page.tpl.php file and inserted the following string into the head section.

The Result:

First of all im new to drupal and php , so here is what i want to edit....

print "<div class=\"fields\">";
print "User is  ";
$time_period = variable_get('user_block_seconds_online', 2700);
$uid = arg(1); // get the current userid that is being viewed.
$users = db_query('SELECT DISTINCT(uid), MAX(timestamp) AS max_timestamp FROM {sessions} WHERE timestamp >= %d AND uid = %u GROUP BY uid ORDER BY max_timestamp DESC', time() - $time_period, $uid);
          $total_users = db_num_rows($users);

          if ($total_users == 1) {
            $output = t('online');        <-------------- this the word online to appear Green 
          }
          else {
            $output = t('offline');       <---------------and this offline to appear red
          }

              print $output;
                      print "</div>";

With regard to the instructions from the handbook at this node:

http://drupal.org/node/58030

The instruction say "download the translation templates from the appropriate version of Drupal" with a hpyerlink to the page, but it does not say which translation to download.

I am attempting to cutomize the language so I change things like "add comments" to be "comment on this review"

Can someone from drupal support (or anyone who knows) pleaes advise exactly what has to be downloaded.
