General discussion

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

Hi,

Is there a way that I can have Drupal:

1. Authenticate a user against a remote repository?

2. Do that via a SOAP call?

3. Do this on first access to Drupal, thereby avoiding the need to display the login screen?

4. Authenticate the username and password remotely, but have Drupal maintain roles etc. locally?

The scenario I have is this:

I was just wondering if there are any wiki modules available where users can edit all of the content on the site and where admins can then approve the edits. I know there are wiki modules for links, but it would be nice if there were wiki modules for content as well.

Also, are there any good folksonomy modules? I know there are some modules that use folksonomy, but I was wondering if there were any folksonomy modules that encorporated all standard content (or at least articles).

Hi all,
I am new to Drupal and am still trying to learn all of its features. I would like to create pages that do not have author information in it. Right now, the content types of drupal that I have come across include story, page, blog, ... and the problem is that every new piece of content in each of these types has an author information in it (i.e. published by userX at time ....)

THese are great but I also want to create (regular) pages without the author information. I have seen a few places that use drupal do this, so I know it can be done but I'm not sure how.

I have a 3 cell table layout for my site.

LEFT CENTER RIGHT

The widths of the LEFT and RIGHT cells are controlled through CSS. The CENTER column has no width value.

In the center column I have a textarea.

When I set the textarea's width (via css) to 100% a problem occurs. About 30% of the time (in IE and Firefox) the RIGHT column displays incorrectly, it is either squeeze or (more common) it is pushed outside the the window frame and is only viewable through the horizontal scroll.

One solution I have found is to make the textarea's width fixed (300px).

I've been playing around with e107 recently and am very impressed. It boasts a large feature set and is simple to learn.

I'm still a Drupal newbie, and am still not completely sold on it. Don't get me wrong - Drupal is a wonderful product, especially considering it's free. But I've run into several frustrations which have made me cast a wandering eye in the direction of other CMSs.
