General discussion

This question is pretty basic and may be due to my partial understanding of html. When I look around on the Drupal site and am, say, 3/4ths down a long page and then follow a link to another page and then come back to the long page, I am placed at the top of the long page, not at the 3/4ths down postion.

What typically controls this behavior? I do notice that when I try this with IE it DOES come back to the 3/4th position. But with Firefox it always comes back to the top of the page. However, other sites work fine in this respect with Firefox.

Hm, I am unsure if this topic should be posted in the "Usability" forum or under "Module development". (Should there perhaps be a general forum for technical discussions? Could not really find the *right* place for this post. Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, just point me to the right one if so.)

This is an invitation to a discussion about the possibilities, could perhaps end up as a module or something, but first I would like a general discussion about this.

"One-way synchronisation" of book chapter structure to multiple sites:

I would like to maintain Books of relevance to several sites from one place/site.
This could be a section/chapter of a book, where I maintain the the pages, and they are automatically updated in a selected book section (replicating the structure one-way) on other sites. The need is basically for a one-to-many "synchronisation", so on the other sites they will not be altered/changed.

I havent found any modules that I think can do this.

Basically, it should be possible with some SQL tricks, may not even be necessary to make it happen in/from Drupal itself, perhaps just schedule a job for MySql? However, in order for such a function to work with Drupal's revisioning feature, I guess it must then be a module and not only done through scheduled SQL?

Thoughts, anyone?
Any other needs etc. relevant for this?
Any further aspects that would make it even more useful to have this opportunity?

I want my login form will not appear to the end user it should display to admin only when url is
http://localhost/drupal/admin/* but currently this is not so login is appearing to everyone who visit the site.

Hi,

I have searched for quite a while without finding exactly what I am looking for.

I am searching for either a module, or PHP snippet that will generate a form that lies below a designated story that will say "Email a comment on this story". Comments work fine on my existing site, and I have implemented the feedback module, but what I really want is a couple of fields in a form, attached to the bottom of specific stories, that will allow unregistered users to mail comments to me. Those comments I will then either disregard, or re-post as comments to the original story.

The reason is that there are major news-breaking issues (at least of major importance to the community being served by my site) and not every user that might post an anonymous comment would necessarily take the trouble to register and log in again with a username and password just so that they can post a single ad-hoc comment. Thus, on the forum topics and stories that the general core users talk about, I have lots of activity. On stories that affects a much wider audience, I have substantially less response, presumably due to casual visitors not taking the trouble of registering.

Not every story on the site requires such a form below it though.

What I am looking for could be either a module (meaning I would select a check box when editing the story to add the required comment form), or it could be a PHP snippet that I would append to the story content for the appropriate pages.

Hi,

I am going to use Drupal to build a knowledge sharing community.
My scenario is:

Users post articles in their personal blog and assign one or more categories to this article.
Moderators select relevant articles and put them into hierarchically organized (by categories) handbook.
Moderators are hierarchically (by categories) organized as well. (Each moderator is only responsible for a specific set of topics)

Are there any existing modules which can collaborately fulfull this scenario?

Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.

Looking at the following adress : http://www.ent.iastate.edu/list/

This is a resource directory made with drupal. What I'd like to know is if the all these categories are custom nodes wich were made with the flexinode option of drupal ?
