I see the 'image' module stores the image as original, preview and thumbnail .. for *all* images.
This could take up some disk space. I feel only recently accessed images must be having the preview and thumbnail or just preview version in disk cache.
Like of an image is not accessed in last 10 days, the preview version can be deleted from disk. This way only images which are accessed in last 10 days has the preview version.
And ..
If the original image itself is lesser than the preview size, creation of another preview image can be totally avoided.
I am having a bit of a problem when using 'ethiopic' content in my drupal site. some of the characters are changed to something else other than the original entry when the content is displayed on a page. the unicode range for 'ethiopic' characters is from 1200 - 137F. I am using MySQL 4.1, IIS 5.0, and most recent stable versions of php and drupal. I appreciate any help.
Along with the author, date, and other info, I'd like to display the "score" of each story on the front page based upon moderation. Is there someway I can do this? Pull it up through phptemplate or something?
I have a few hundred categories. Before I write categories descriptions for all of them, can someone tell me what the category descriptions are used for?
Are they just for backend use, or do they appear in the frontend.
