General discussion

It seems there is increasing need to associate nodes in various ways. The new Node Relativity module offers this capability along with other compelling features.

One of the most interesting uses for this would be to make comments real nodes. Currently, comments are limited by not allowing attached files which would be quite useful in the project.module and perhaps in other modules as well.

I like the HTML Area module. I think it is a 'killer' feature in Drupal. Normal users want HTML formatting with WYSIWYG ease.

However, what gives with the image handling?

Heres a scenario using Drupal 4.5.2, image, image_asst, htmlarea:

1. Joe Bloggs creates a new node.
2. Pastes a bunch of text from an email.
3. Has an image on his PC that he'd like to include in the node and places the cursor precisely where he wants the picture to appear then clicks the 'image' toolbar button.
4. A weird looking pop-up window snaps out from the left with a bunch of fields. Joe clicks the 'browse' button to locate the image file on his PC then he aligns the image to the left (he wants text to flow around it) and assigns h.space 5.
5. He clicks 'OK' and the little window 'turns into' a truncated view of a freshly created image node screen - containing his image.
6. Puzzled, Joe closes the window and clicks the image button again, Spots the image in the category list and highlights it. he aligns the image to the left (he wants text to flow around it) and assigns h.space 5.
7. He clicks 'ok' and he's a happy puppy.

This is clearly not user friendly. This is what should happen:

1. Joe Bloggs creates a new node.
2. Pastes a bunch of text from an email.
3. Has an image on his PC that he'd like to include in the node and places the cursor precisely where he wants the picture to appear then clicks the 'image' toolbar button.

I'm finishing the new version of my site soon and I was wondering if I should rather wait for version 4.6 to relaunch or go with the current version? I'd like to use some of the features that were mentioned in different posts that will be offered for 4.6. Where can I look at a list of all the features in works for 4.6? When is it expected to be released? Thanks!

Hello, enjoying the Organic Groups module, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to appoint a user to be a manager of a particular group. Here is what the documentation says:

All subscriber management happens on the 'user list' page which is linked from the group Block (while viewing a group page). This includes approving subscription requests (for selective groups), unsubscribing users and promoting users into group admins.

Thanks for enlightening me!

Does nayone know the deafult types of content that get indexed for search? One of two things is happening:

1. Search is not indexing "story" nodes
or
2. Search is not indexing new content

(the reason I don't know which is because lately the only thing that has been published are story nodes)

I'm not a programmer but,

Now we have node permission by role, subscriptions, media files, paypal framework and e-commerce.
What about a subscription module around permissions to access content - for a time. Paid subscriptions to periodicals, to nodes, to roles (roles would make Drupal a membership management system).

Can it be done?
