One of my sites was allowing anonymous users to view statistics and I found a number of bogus pharmacy sites showing up in the refer logs (admin/logs/referrers).

All content comes on main page. I only want "Storys" on main page; How do I do this?

I tried to get authorization donate my Drupal multi-site installer script back to the community and all hell broke loose. I need urgent clarification on the license of Drupal.

I attempted to release my script under LGPL. It is written under PHP and I felt that would make a GPL license inappropriate. Under a strict interpretation of GPL nobody could use it without making all of their code GPL. What I got for my efforts was a threatening email.

I was informed that it MUST be GPL, and that to make a non-GPL module or theme for Drupal would be ILLEGAL. That not only includes commercial but also public domain, LGPL, or any other non-cultist free license such as ASF.

That means that there can be no commercial modules or themes, any theme I develop for a client must be GPL before I can give a copy to a client, I may not have MY associated code under NDA and I cannot purchase a licensed theme and port it to Drupal if I do not have the right to release it as GPL.

Hello...

Does anyone have a positive experience with a certain merchant service?

I am looking to charge a recurring monthly charge for members. I prefer not to use paypal because members would be required to sign up for paypal, correct?

I am just looking for a reliable merchant service that already integrates well with the current ecommerce module.

Any suggestions?? positive experiences??

I posted this in a reply to a popular topic but wanted to make sure someone read it.

I am interested in coding but I have no experience. Can anyone recommend a good place to start learning the basics of the type of coding that I would use with Drupal? Should I just grab a book on Java script or PHP and just start page on or is there a better place to start, like Visual Basic? I know this will take time but I have to start somewhere.

Thanks,

Please read hivemindz article on Drupal. I'm not a programmer at all and can't understand most of what he is complaining about. But please read.
