General discussion

I am new to Drupal and love the flexibility, but I'm having a hard time figuring out whether it will meet my needs. Has anyone developed Drupal as the Back Office for managing content on other websites.

I'd like to have Drupal run the login/user access functions and content management, but have the content only show up on read-only websites that do not display any vestage of the Back Office site (ie log-in or forums).

I'm looking to develop a module which enables thousands (about 20,000) of pages with URLs of the form:

/node_type/placename

e.g.

/plumbers/london

Where each page is a node.

Is using path_set_alias the best way to do this - hence creating thousands of path aliases - or will this cause a performance degradation?

Any better ideas in terms of performance? Or other considerations I should take into account?

Is there currently a feature to show oprhaned pages, i.e. pages that have been created, but are not possible to reach via a menu?

Thanks...

I want to view selective content types while browsing a taxonomy category. The selection of content types should be dynamic. In some condition I want to view content types A, B, C in some category X while in some other condition I want to view cotent types D, E, F in the same category X. Please can anyone give me some idea how can I make this possible.

Hello,

I've looked around, but do the folks in charge of Drupal.org have a place that matches users with developers for funding projects?

I don't know PHP, but I don't mind kicking in some money to get something added/fixed to Drupal. I know you can donate money to a general fund, but I am more interested in supporting something that will help me and others that are interested.

Where do you think I can download extractor.php please?
I need for .pot file.
Thanks.
