General discussion

I have the general idea down pat. My 4.7rc3 installation is up and running well but there are a few things I can’t seem to do no matter what I try and I know I am just going about it wrong. Basically I would like to group my content together and have the primary links point to these groupings.

I've just done my first install today. After searching the site, I decided to just post:

Is there an e-commerce module for Drupal? I have a site that is using Zen-Cart but I want more functionality (news, forums, PM, etc.)

thanks.

I think that this is worth a look from the Drupal devs:

http://www.xstandard.com/page.asp?p=463B7CE3-B082-4984-AD84-4A1737959506

XStandard is a well-known WYSWYG editor with remarkable accessible XHTML + CSS output. This is basically a marketing agreement to let open source CMSes integrate a cross-breed version of XStandard (it's the Lite version plus a number of Pro features). Do not know if it can viable, but, as I said, at least worth a look.

From the website:

How The Open Source CMS Program Works

We are making XStandard Lite with some Pro features available to established vendors of open source CMS who wish to offer XStandard as an optional editor in their applications.

-- snip --

This partnership program with open source CMS is a marketing agreement. We offer open source CMS vendors some features in XStandard that we would normally charge for. In exchange, open source CMS vendors offer a prominent link on their home page to the new, educational site xhtml.com. The site (currently under construction) will promote XHTML, accessibility and Web standards.

If you are a vendor (a member of the core development team or an authorized representative) of an open source CMS and would like to explore this partnership further, please contact us at partners@xhtml.com. Open source CMS users should contact their CMS vendor instead, if they would like to see the CMS vendor take advantage of this partnership opportunity.

I think I've come to the point where my site functionality is complete, all features are working really well and stable, and I'm ready to start marketing the site to drive traffic. Are there certain things I should double-check to ensure a smooth ride for my visitors such as the security aspects of the site/mySQL db tied to drupal? performance testing?

I remember reading threads about tuning the security and performance of your site; can someone point me to these areas?

Thanks,

Hi,

is it possible to hide a block on error pages like "page not found".?

The reason:

I am using google adsense. The ads are integrated in leftsided blocks. The google terms say, that its not allowed to show blocks on non content sites/pages. A error document has no content.

I think you know what i mean and i hope you can help me!

regards

i got an erro msg after i point my browser to the directory of my drupal site:
I'm on the 5th step in the installation procedure:
