General discussion

I'm doing a lot of tests for a website I'm going to run. The site is totally based around submitting news and then users being able to browse through that news, get what they are interested in, and comment on it quickly.

The only problem is is I'm at a key difference between a few different layouts I have in mind.

Is it more effective to list a title with a short description underneath, or simply a descriptive title?

Hi There,
I am looking for a wysiwyg website template editor which would allow multiple clients to update their own (individual) websites and give me overall admin control. Can drupal do this and can anyone point me to any resources or examples?

Thanks ... taffyc

If I google my name "Zach Harkey, the number one result is my /user/login page. My sub listing(second place) is my contact page. I guess "/contact" would be better than "/user/login" but neither are ideal.

I would really like the top ranked page to be my home page. After all, it is definitely more 'correct' or 'accurate' a result than my user log in page which I would prefer remained private.

There doesn't seem to be anything out there which matches what I'm about to describe. After as much research as possible I think Drupal is the most likely framework to be able to handle it. So I'll just make the suggestion and if any of you programmers out there want to tackle the problem, I'm sure it would be worth the effort. I would love to help the programmers create something like this if there's anything I can do but I don't have any programming experience so I may be limited to trouble shooting or beta testing.

This is describing the features and workings of a combined news and event module/package.

The News and Event package should provide four display or data presentation areas and a main data entry section. All of the modules should be configureable using Drupal's Taxonimy features to tell which items get posted where. For example you might have a library section with book reviews. But you might not want the book reviews to show up on the main page where you have news headlines being displayed. Therefore the headline module would then need to have separate configurations for each page it is displayed in and would therefore only display items that fit it's category chose category.

The four display modules are...

A Monthly Calendar module laid out like a normal wall calendar. Here are a few examples as of 06/15/2005

1 - What is the best way to specify in drupal that some uids should not increment the view count on pages (typically the ones from admins and moderator) ? I have seen http://drupal.org/node/696, but I am a bit confused on the status of this patch...

2 - Also, is it possible to avoid that multiple views from a single user are only counted as one ?

Thanks a lot,

Hi,

I want to create users in Drupal from another application.

Can anyone tell me how to create a user in the Drupal database directly? Also, I need to assign roles to that user the same way.

Is there any good documentation for this out there?

Cheers
