General discussion

I know I can make content unavailable, in this case specifically books and all related child pages, from certain groups or members. But is there a way to hide the menu item all together to non group members. I am currrently using Primary Navigation, but would like to hide links from non group members. I would assume then that once a member logs in, the navigation link would be visible, thus making all book pages visible. Is this possible?

Thanks - Patrick

Hello,
I want to write one or two modules for a project in the future and am really wondering what are the advantages of drupal nodes as opposed to completely separate data handling by the module itself.
Can anybody shed some light on this?
Thank you,
Alex

Drupal has the ability to do muliple sites from one install. But, what about the reverse of that?

How about one site with multiple installs. To have many domains such as forum.somesite.com, www.somesite.com, articles.somesite.com, resources.somesite.com, and so on. With, each one of these domains pulling from the same session and from the same user database. But, each one having a different module setup.

Would this increase performance? Or, is this already part of the multi-siteness already in drupal?

Hello,
As you know web2 is coming and AJAX popularity raissing everyday.

Some CMS switched to AJAX and some not, I want to know will Drupal 4.7 use AJAX?
Would Drupal jion web2 community or not?

By the time I know some drup's module use AJAX but I'm not sure about Drupal core script.

Does Drupal programers has plan for AJAX?
Could we expect a major switch with 4.7 version or not?

Regards,

This is about current status of multilingual features in Drupal, how they play together and some proposed approach to have them fully integrated in Drupal. A complete report on this subject, which I hope will be improved with your feedback and some more discussion, is available here: Drupal: i18n Report [Development Seed]

Currently, we have the 'locale module' -core-, which deals with language management and interface translation and 'i18n module', which provides support for multilingual content, translations, but also some language management, providing a block for the users to select interface language.

This is some mixed approach, that is somehow confusing, causes some overlapping and wouldn't be there if we had some clean off the ground implementation of multilingual features in Drupal. This proposal would be in the line of providing this kind of implementation, with some support in core, and some lightweight modules/APIs managing very specific parts of the whole 'multilingual' system.

Though the Internationalization module will be updated for Drupal 4.7, the long term goal of this module is to provide multilingual support for Drupal in a way that can be later somehow integrated into Drupal core. I don't mean it could be just dropped into the core as it is now. I wouldn't pretend it to be 'core quality' code, and worse, it has an important number of hacks and workarounds just to avoid core patches.

I'm looking for very basic email capability so authenticated users could use my domain as their email and everything would be handled inside of Drupal.

I've searched, but not found anything of this sort.

Anyone aware of something I'm missing?
