General discussion

Hi,

I was checking out the following drupal site : http://fearlessliving.com/
When the frontpage is shown to you .. you can see that it is designed / divided in to a few sections. You've got the graphic of the girl left, with some text on the right. Below it you can find three service catagories.

I am new to drupal, but my logic tells me that this is actually a static page node, made up with a wysiwyg editor, wich is placed into the main content block. Can anyone tell me if this is true ?

I'm currently using xoops but can't get what I want with it which is a site like The Onion.

My question is if The Onion is the type of site a newcomer to Drupal can build within a reasonable amount of time.

From my experience with the image module it stores all images in one big folder. Is it possible to get the image module to use sub folders? I currently have all my images on my PC in a folder structure:

image >

And would like to maintain this as it would then also provide a backup of my photos on a different server. I imagine I could go in the database and create a script to change the path of the photos but is there anyway I can automatically get photos in sub folders when creating them?

Any eta for a release or something ? or if you know other modules that do the same thing :P

Just out of curiosity, and with no malice or insult intended....

Is this a Drupal sanctioned/approved site and/or link?

We use Google Ads/Alerts and are now receiving multiple links through our Google Alerts to links from our sites via osuosl.org using these sub-domain links.

Understand, we don't mind, but only wish to be sure; since they are using the same theme as the Drupal site. . . the theme we were under the impression was only available to Drupal and no other Drupal hosted site.

So I've been researching forum solutions lately. It seems there's been a lot of discussion of this topic over the years, but it's kind of hard to get a good idea of where things stand now.

Here's the situation I'm in.

I'm setting up a trio of sites: A Drupal blog/news site, a related wiki, and a related forum, all on different domains. Drupal's forum and wiki capabilities were a bit lacking, so for prototyping I set up Mediawiki and phpbb.

Those two programs are really great for what they do, and if these were independent sites I would be happy with what I have. The problem is with integration. I've been trying to figure out how to integrate user login, themes, input methods (wiki format for everything), across all three sites. There are solutions, but they're a bit daunting. Going all Drupal obviously solves a lot of problems, but makes me face Drupal's limitations.

My real question now is what's easier: integrating phpbb, or adding features I need to Drupal's forums. There's a number of issues, some of which might not really be a problem, but just my ignorance. I'd like to know if there's a way to make Drupal behave the way I want, or how hard it might be to modify the forum module to work this way.

1) Threaded vs. Linear Discussions. I don't want threaded discussions on my site. I know they have some advantages, but I have other areas that work well with threads, and the forum I want to be strictly linear. Is there a way to set this just for the forum? The comments setting seems to apply to all comments. If I have a multi-site will it make this easier.
