General discussion

I am using the adc theme for my site. I would like to set certain blocks to the "open state" upon first view and other blocks "closed". The viewer may then, of course, open or close the blocks as usual...registered users could even change the open or closed defaults in their preferences as well.

Can anybody thell me if this is possible...if so how can I accomplish this.

Hi,

does anyone know something about the MSN Search Engine Bot behaviour? Well in comparison to other bots, is has sucked about 20 times that much traffic from my site and has apparently great spidering ambitions, but it has BARELY listed my site when i try to search at search.msn.com. I have read about it pretty much omitting any robots.txt settings and not behaving nicely.

I thought we could share few words about it, because I at least do not feel good seeing the Microsoft bot sucking traffic from my site witnout any obvious reason.

I'm having troubles getting .sticky class to, uh, STICK to my Chameleon based site: http://www.undergroundfoodcollective.org. I'd like to have the same effect as stickies in aquamarine (colored background and borders for the node).

I've been searching for a couple hours on the forums and elsewhere for a solution. thanks.

Want to share some of my tips when using mailhandler. I used mailhandler to add contents to my site. However, I found there was a problem that many e-mail clients force line breaks before 80 characters and it looks bad on the html page. So I figured out to send content in PHP code format and use PHP code format as input format for mailhandler. This works great. I created a simple windows GUI app PhpGenerator to convert text string to PHP code. You can download it at http://www.dealsupdate.com/PhpGenerator.zip.

Hi ...

I've come to learn that drupal has a blogging capability... but it is also possible to create forum sites with drupal.
I was wondering if anyone could explain me the main advantages / differences between a blog and a forum. It seems to me that blogs cannot compete with forums... but on the other hand It seems that alot of people actually think otherwiser ... why is this ?

I want to add a gallery2 at http://mysite.com/gallery2.
It seems logical that it would integrate better if:
I wiould in SSH ...
cd
ls
cd public_html
ls
mkdir gallery2
then delete it and create a symlink to it from /home/username/public_html.
supposedly it would show up in green as gallery2*
then cd home/username/public_html/gallery2*
