General discussion

If one comes in from the top page and if the information happens to be listed, one may be lucky in finding his way to the patch and update downloads. But from other points it is really difficult to find. Since downloading is part of the process, would it not be logical to place another tab on the Download page for patches and related ujpdates?
Just a thought.
Thanks.

Hello,

It would be great if you could help me how to add javascript vadidation to a drupal text box. A reply with an example would be acceptable.

Hi People,

I been evaluating the various Open Source CMS and trying to replace our old lousy intranet system built on ASP
Been trying out drupal for about a month and impress with the way it is designed, very modular.
At the same time, I have been trying to understand some of the codes which are rather difficult for a newbie like me.

As we have different departments, I have been thinking how to build one block for each department.
Each department (block) will have a
-book (posting reports, procedures,information about the department)
-forum (Chit-Chat)
-image library (Gallery of images)
In the begining, all the above will be given access to all staff with the userID/Password of our intranet.
In future, I would be restricting access base on roles/simple access groups on sensitive info like maybe accounts reports.
So I have to plan long term and decide on which way to go

I tried out the organic groups but sees the limitation of how it works. It is also quite restictive as we have to follow the way the block is displayed and the album feature is not too impressive.
Nextup is restrict by access using node/role base. But then, I need to code the 'check user role' per block and node. And with my work commitments, I might not have the time to do that.
Lastly, taxonomy. Have not got a full understanding of it so correct me if I am wrong, I will be able to categories the book, forum. image library into per department. So the best way to go is using taxonomy. I added in the taxnonomy access module but can't really understand how to give the correct permissions.

Hello all,

My drupal 4.6.3 installation is thro' cpanel, fantastico with mysql 4.0.25 (provided by hosting co). Created some basic categories and sub-categories and used sitemap and taxonomy_browser mods. Everything worked fine.

Tested cpanel 'backup' drpl1.gz. Unzipped. Created a new drupal 4.6.3 installation and loaded same contributed modules. Used cpanel phpMyAdmin to restore drpl1. Error:

Error

SQL query:

Hi everyone, what happened to the forum module. I just went to look for it, for a site that I am building and it is gone! There seems to be a lot of talk about it not working properly, but I would like to get a hold of it anyway.
