General discussion

Until drupaldocs.org gets straightened out, however that may be, I've put up a working mirror at drupal.logrus.com to tide us over. It'll update hourly.

Hello

Is anybody is interested in promotion of his Drupal site using semi-automatic link exchange methods ?

Please give me a ping. I will provide more details.

First a little background.

- i love that i can add PHP pages directly by simply adding a php "page" by "adding content"... very powerful feature.

- i don't like OR don't get the way drupal deals with multisite absolute folder references

by this i mean - i developed site (site1) on my devel station which showed up as http://site1/ after mapping that to localhost in my hosts file

but then when i copied everything to my server - site1 was broken

eventually i figured out that i had to rename "site1" folder to ""site1.mydomain.com" to get it working.

maybe there is a reason for this - but i can't think of a decent one... and this makes things a real pain in the ass.

so that all being said, and getting back to my php pages - rather than add php code directly into page content i simply add a single line to include a file (that way i can edit file in a real editor/debugger).

so my page content is simply:

<?php

include ("sites/site1/pages/page17.php");

?>

so.. is my dilema obvious yet???

now when i move my DB to server this can't work - since "site1" folder sadly had to be renamed to "site1.mydomain.com"

so i figured.. kinda naively that i could use a built in PHP server VAR to get full path (and thereby removing server remap issue), like:

<?php

$base_dir = substr($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'], 0, strrpos($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'], "/")) . "

Just started with Drupal and have made numerous posts here comparing it to TikiWiki since that is the CMSi have most experieince with.

Although there are many things i prefer about TW - one of the things i think is the coolest about Drupal is the ability to add pages with PHP content. I added one to my first drupal site with ease.

But, i have been editing this page and doing a few things and i have come across an interesting issue:

i get this msg:

There is a feed full of images: http://art.gnome.org/backend.php

Its corresponding aggregator feed doesn't show any image, though: http://gnomedotorg.ourproject.org/index.php?q=aggregator/sources/7

Could you tell what is wrong here? Thank you.

Well, first off let me just say that after trying out several CMS systems, Drupal is awsome. I actually paid some nob 50 bucks to set up E-Xoops.. what a crock. Live and learn. I have a great Drupal site up and running without any problems. It's basically for a small college town I live in that will center around a main avenue where the entertainment district is..

What I want is a community page, that will feature local entertainment etc.. you get the picture.. Basically a MySpace for a small town.

I can tell Drupal is perfect for this but there are a few things I want to get but not sure the best way.. All are very simple I'm sure.

1)would like to add avatars next to the user names in the "new users" block.

2)Need a way for users to upload video and pictures much like youtube.com but I don't need to restrict access to the videos.. the videos should be able have comments attached, rated, etc. (again, sounds like this is easy with Drupal) I was thining about Acidfree module, but wondered what the more experienced users thought of the other album modules.

3)Streaming music or internet radio. Would love to stream a feed out of local musicians who want it.

4)also probably very easy, would like users to be able to include more than just one avatar on their Profile.. Instead a mini gallery in the profile..

5)Some sort of simple sorting engine for user to find other users.. You've seen them. I am looking for a [male/female] who [smokes] between [25-35]. and then have a list of users who fit that come up..with their avatars.
