General discussion

WordPress is an open source weblogging platform. It’s the platform I use to manage this blog and the platform - with some modifications - that Global Voices runs on. It has a reputation for being very user friendly, but for having some underlying architectural problems that make it hard to scale. Drupal is an open source multi-purpose content management system designed for the support of complex websites with multiple authors. It has a reputation for being ludicriously flexible, ungodly powerful and far too complex for mere mortals to use.

As you (should) know, Drupal never stores your password itself, but rather creates an MD5 hash of the text. That means it is impossible for someone with database access to steal your password. When you enter your password to log in, the text is hashed again and the two hashes are compared. This is a nice feature for Drupal to have but it means that you can never recover your password. You can change it to a new one, but there is no way to find out what your current password is. Or is there?

I don't know whether it's just me - I posted the "Cost of a customized CMS" earlier. I checked just now and saw 2 replies. But when I clicked on the thread, it goes to a blank page. Can someone help me out here?

Thanks a million

This may be a little off topic, but I am asked to quote for a web design project that requires a CMS, customized for both functionality and look and feel. One of the quote requirements is to quote the design (graphical and visual presentation) and the CMS component work separately. I may or may not take on the CMS component myself, and if I need to work with someone who can work on the CMS component, what is the cost I am looking at?

Hi Guys.

Just a thought..but, would it be an idea to rename the subscriptions.module to emailalerts.module?

there' s no big deal and not as urgent as other stuff, but, I'm trying to work with the ecommerce subscriptions and the search kicks back up a lot of discussions about email alerts, rather than subscriptions - i.e. users subscribing (for free or by payment) to a drupal driven site.

Well my dilema is that I would like for Drupal to add a link to comment at the bottom on the nodes when it is syndicated. My current use is that I am using an IFRAME on my Xanga (yes, I know they suck) for people to view my rss feed, that way it will increase the traffic on my drupal. Thus letting my friends view my website by clicking on one of the posts through the xanga. Now people are trying to comment but, they don't see the links. Hopefully, and I thank ya'll, if you can help.
