Is there a module or built in method of creating a "Press releases" area?

Requirements:
1) There would be a list of releases grouped by year with a date and title.
2) Clicking a release opens it to a new window with full details.
3) you can search the Press releases exclusively

DOes this exist out there? I have a lot of sites that simple use this style, and it would be great if it was just a module you added called "press releases"

Please let me know...

cmsmatrix.org has recently upgraded its site. One of the things that was changed was the rating system to reduce cheating. All rating counters were reset to 0. Since then Drupal has come up number ONE on 3 of the rating categories at the time of writing this. It is still early days as the rating counters repopulate, and it remains to be seen if drupal will hold its positions.

Check it out.

What is the best-practice way to link to internal nodes/pages within a node's body? At the moment I put

<a href='/some/link'>tags</a> 

... with the emphasis on the leading slash / because without it links would break when not in the root directory. But this isn't perfect because the leading / also means that if the drupal installation moves to a subdirectory then the links are broken.

I think, we just changed over... or I am the only person on the internet tonight. Drupal is screaming fast right now, it's faster than if the file server was sitting on my desk.

Looking at the drupal tables to understand better how it works, there's something I do not understand: why is the column "module" defined as:

• a varchar(255) in table vocabulary"
• a varchar(128) in table "authmap",
• and a varchar(64) elsewhere ?

Hello Everyone,

I've just downloaded Drupal and I want to develop a custom software application on top of it. Basically, it's going to be a specialized document management system for a small group home. Where would everyone suggest I get started as to using Drupal for this?

Thanks!
