General discussion

I'm trying to design a webpage where my main content area will fit perfectly inside an 800x600 browser. Well, I set the width to 800px and was suprised to see that I still had to scroll to the right to see the entire page.

Then a realized that the reason for this was because though the monitor is 800px wide, the up/down scrollbar takes up space.

What width should I make my page so that I don't have to scroll to the right at all to see it, and its fits perfectly in the window?

Thanks

Hello, everyone:

Can anyone point me to any sites which use the Drupal wiki module? I need it to demonstrate to my superiors at work to persuade them install Drupal on our university's servers.

Thanks.

Pavel.

Hello,

we are doing an application documentation sprint. The recent documentation survey indicated that 71% of respondents needed application documentation. A quick review of the documentation available in 60 of the core and contributed applications revealed the following.

1. 23 out of 60 applications did not have an administration interface. (12/31 core)
2. 27 out of 60 applications did not have administration help documentation. (14/31 core)
3. There were few direct links from administration help documentation to the relevant handbook pages.
4. There were no links from the administration help documentation to the application administration interfaces.

How you can help improve the usability and documentation.

We need volunteers to research and write one or two paragraphs on how to use each of the 60 modules. We have researched all the links to application administration interfaces and application help documentation so you do not have to. In many cases we have also linked directly to the package for applications which may include valuable information in install, readme, and upgrade documentation. We have also set up a test site where you can work with an application to help write documentation for it. We have created customization and configuration handbook pages for each of the 60 applications and provided you with those links.

Results of the survey:

Users of documentation:
-69% site admins
-46% site users

Situation when using documentation:
-Troubleshooting a problem- 54%
-Administering a Drupal application -52%
-Administering Drupal-49%
-Learn about Drupal-48%

Documentation needs
-Drupal application documentation-71%
-Drupal administration documentation -65%
-An answer to your problem-58%

Decision criteria for using the documentation again
-Read the documentation-68%
-Found answer to problem last time-59%

1. The first red cluster is the About Drupal handbook
2. The first blue cluster is the Installation and upgrading handbook
3. The next red cluster is the Configuration and customization handbook
4. The last blue cluster is the Developing for Drupal handbook

The results indicate that we can meet the diverse documentation needs with the handbooks we have selected. We will use the results to help design the subsections in the book so that they are easy to find.

Anybody know where in drupal 4.6.0 can I turn on "Popular content" block?

Sorry for my question but I really can't find it....
