General discussion

Greetings,
Newbie here... I developed my site under http://mydomain.com/drupal_install and now want make it accessable from my root url (http://mydomain.com). I have tried using a .htaccess file with the Redirect statement without luck, I get a server is not configured correctly error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have seen several installations of the wonderful module i18n that do not use the block & flags that come standard with the module, but my search for a recipe on how to put the language choice in a link (and if possible in a primary or secondary link) has only yieleded a couple of references that are too obscure to me. Would it be possible to someone in this community to show me how to move the i18n functions from the block to a link?

Hi there, I'm considering switching from WordPress to Drupal, and am wondering if someone can tell me whether or not Drupal has the one thing WordPress doesn't that I need: the ability for a reader to view a post in PDF format.

There have been so many threads about the html breaks in Spreadfirefox textareas that I am creating a new one. To prevent a textarea on a form from breaking across the page, change the $form to $group and provide a definition of the group before form_submit. Here is an example from the feedback module. The original lines of code read as follows:

 if ( variable_get("feedback_field_body", t('Message')) ) 
    $form .= form_textarea  (t("Message"), "form_field_body", 
      $edit['form_field_body'], 60, 15, NULL, NULL, TRUE);

  $form .= form_hidden ("form_field_referer", $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]);

  $form .= form_submit (t("Send message"), "op", $edit['op'] );

The altered code reads as follows:

 if ( variable_get("feedback_field_body", t('Message')) ) 
    $group_1 .= form_textarea  (t("Message"), "form_field_body", 
      $edit['form_field_body'], 60, 15, NULL, NULL, TRUE);

  $form .= form_hidden ("form_field_referer", $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]);

  $form .= form_group(t(''), $group_1);

  $form .= form_submit (t("Send message"), "op", $edit['op'] );

A title for the form_group was left blank so as not to alter the form. "Fieldset" in style.css can be altered to blend the form_group box with the rest of the form. If you are having problems with content being pushed down in Spredfirefox, please see this post: http://drupal.org/node/51129#comment-107930

I have looked and searched on this site but where/how do I activate the footer? I looked in admin/settings, admin/themes and cannot locate it.

thank you in advance,

Guy's sorry if this topic has been beaten to death. But as you can tell I'm a newbie to Drupal and I was wondering if it was capable of searching Microsoft word and other MS generated content?

Much thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers.
