This forum is for less technical discussions about the Drupal project, not for support questions.

A couple of basic questions.

Okay, I think I asked this before;

I want to create a blank page with the navigation bar identical to my theme but where I can add html css etc. as I need it. What is the best way to go about doing this step by step?

Also, I'm logged in as a user. Is that the same thing as admin? I have full functionality as a admin but I'm a user. I'm a little confused here.

thanks

w.bloggar / blogjet category problem

I have done some searching through the forums, but haven't been able to read the actual answer or solution. I am able to confiure wither blogjet or w.bloggar so that they will post my drupal site.

I have the correct modules enabled, otherwise these clients would not work correctly.

Does Drupal fit the bill?

I'm considering Drupal for a couple of my websites. The first one http://www.technohippy.org.uk is already up so I'd be wanting to assimilate it into Drupal. The 2nd http://www.timegate.org.uk is still in the early stages of being designed so should be easy as I'm essentially starting from scratch

What I mainly want to know is if Drupal will be able to provide for the current features of my technohippy site, namely:

4.7 release schedule?

This question probably gets asked quite often, but I've not seen it. Is there a projected release schedule for 4.7?

Small modification of the Flexinode image field to resize images on the fly

Hi all,

First post here, so I am not sure I am in the right forum. But let's go, it's a code contribution ;)

I use a lot of flexinodes, and don't want to use Fleximax to be able to use the full power of PHPTemplate. However, the image field in the Flexinode has a big drawback: it doesn't resize images. You can choose a max widthxheight, but in fact, the Flexinode will refuse the upload if the image is bigger. Very confusing for users, who often don;t know how to rescale an image on their computer.

The Fleximax seem to resize images, but is yet to be cleaned out apparently (http://drupal.org/node/30376).

And I don't understand how this thread answers the question: http://drupal.org/node/42399

Anyway, the fix is simple. Just edit field_image.inc, and instead of

        return t('The uploaded image is too large; the maximum dimensions are %nxn pixels.', array('%nxn' => $field->options[1]));

put:
<?php
$_imagick_convert = variable_get('flexinode_convert_path', '/usr/local/bin/convert');
$filter = ' -filter QUADRATIC -scale '. $field->options[1];
$path = $file->filepath;
$name = $file->filename;
$path_only = str_replace($name, '', $path);
$name_alt = 'alt_'. $name;
$path_alt = $path_only . $name_alt;

exec("$_imagick_convert $filter $path $path_alt");

Drupal site eating itself!

Today I go to my site which has been working for over a week and the front page is corrupted. If I go to /admin, and edit it all looks OK. i.e. I can see the html the teaser is viewable but preview is corrupted.

Now I cannot view any page. All appear to be corrupted? Its got worse?
They show a page like this:

J�jZ�"J'3'겮��¬`s��� O ����< ��� �

I’ve had a search around and see that if I clear the cache table I can view the pages once and then they are corrupted again on refresh..
