General discussion

Hi,

I've been reading up and researching on Drupal for the last couple of days trying to understand the way the system works, and trying to figure out how I can best make use of it for my needs.

I have been learning Drupal lately, lot of handbook reading and in the forum. From my understanding, Drupal is a powerful CMS for web sites that plan to grow and grow, however, some of my clients just need a simple web site, if i use Drupal, its kinda useless, dont get me wrong, Drupal will do the job, but it just too good for a small job. Does anyone know of a light version of Drupal like, doesn't have to have all the nice features of Drupal, just enought features to maintain a web site.

Here's a couple of them i found:

Hello
I have a website which use Drupal 4.6 and Connections theme. This site is located at: www.farmaciiarad.ro
With Internet Explorer I see a big space between "Logo image" and "Search block". With Mozilla Firefox i don't see the big space.

I want to see the page without problems in Internet Explorer. What need to do, any idea ?

I am having a problem with the calendar. It does not show any of the events that I have defined. But I just added the block that shows upcoming events and that works fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The calendar doesn't hilite the fact that there is an event scheduled and when you go to the page with the expanded calendar/table, etc nothing shows up there as well

The Drupal Community is getting bigger and bigger. So, the ammount of modules keeps growing and growing... That's a good thing! A damn good thing (:

However. Sometimes, it can become "difficult" to make a good choice for a certain needed module. Especially when different modules seem to chase the same rabbit, or at least hunt in the same forest.

I mean, there are quite some modules serving the same kind of functionality, or have some kind of overlap. A few modules that might cause a bit of confusion - just meant as examples related to this topic:

• e-mail this page module
  forward module
  send module
• feedback module
  form_mail module
  survey module(?)
  webform module
• bad behavior module
  spam module
• nodewords module
  page title module
• htmlarea module(?)
  quicktags module
  TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor module

From my own experience I know it can be quite frustrating when discovering that another module has a better functionality than the one installed - and customized |:

Of course I know it's my own responsibility to do some good research in advance, but I think it can be a good thing anyway to have a place at this community where one can compare look-a-like-modules.

The categorization of modules -of course- is a good start! But, would it be an idea to add a comparison chart (or something) in this part of the site? A page that can be maintained by the developers themselves?

Is there a way to remove the "(event)" link from the event display? When a event is created and displayed above the title is the (event) link I am talking about.

Thanks in advance.
