i want to limit character when user post articles/news. (e.g 1000-1500 char)
how can i do that stuff? this very confused me!

Hi all,
I have gone through simplenewletter, found that it sends newsletter to regular basis regardless of user registration date. I require bit different, I want to run a course and want to send course lessions to users.I have seven lessions in my course. I want to send a lession to user everymonth/week.

I want lession1 should be emailed as soon as user get registered, next lession to be sent on month/week basis. I should be able to keep log of which lession is sent to whom.

Once user gets all lessions, he should be deacivated from list or may fall in next course.

Is it possible to have some content shared among multiple Drupal sites?

I have a client who provides content and websites for their retail customers. There would be articles, for example, which are created for all of the websites. But then the individual customer might want to add an article of their own.

I know we could enter the article 20 different times, once for each website, but it would be nice to enter it once and have it "turned on" for all 20.

Articles are not the only content that is shared among the retail websites, but it is a good example.

I downloaded a module a few days ago, and now - just out of curiosity checked the latest release - and what do you know? It's been updated already...

Anyway, what I wanted to discuss is - how often do you guys update your modules? and a question - how often do you backup your websites?

I've been testing both 4.6 and 4.7(HEAD) to see which I might use for a new site I'm developing. Having a calendar which allows repeating events is crucial, so I started looking at eventrepeat in 4.7 which seems to work well. The problem is that many of the other things that I'd like to have on the site rely on modules which don't seem to be working well in 4.7. I seem to get a lot of 'form' related errors.

My question is, does anyone know whether eventrepeat will work under 4.6 (my attempts so far have been failures)? If so, what is the process of getting it to work?

On the settings page there are two fields for primary and secondary links. Not wanting to lose the default values, I bracketed each value with HTML comments and then inserted my own html strings. Having done that, the links display but now the fields are gone from the Settings page. I'm guessing that the html comments some how altered the template for this page. How do I undo my action?
