General discussion

im checking out drupal for a new site i want to build to give alumni from my school a way to have a community site. It will mostly be news and forums, but i think a way for people to have their own blog tied into the site would be great.

I'd like a live journal type approach, where i can setup http://blogname.mysite.com or http://user.mysite.com

Can this be done with the blog feature of drupal?

I had an idea and don't know where else to share it then with the brilliant folks at Drupal. Maybe this already exists. I've tried Google Adwords and have some frustration with their policies and some hidden fees. I was wondering if an open source Adwords type system exists? I would love it if there does

Hello! I'm new to Drupal and this forum, but I've looked extensively and can't find an answer to this question. It seems like an obvious wish so I'm sure there's more than one way to do it.

What I want is to make certain pages have static chunks of HTML (Flash, actually) and then have the page continue from that chunk. Pages would be laid out like MediaTemple does, with navigation up top, a big graphic/Flash element, then the nodes and blocks below that. So that I could set up an attractive page that still had Drupal's dynamic content underneath it.

This is something I would want to do not only on a home page but on other pages in the site. I need to determine perhaps if something is in the URL like the string "portfolio" for instance, and then insert a flash element, full-wide, within that page. If it's the home page, there too. And maybe others. But the rest of the site should look like a standard Drupal site, like this site.

So my question is really what's the best way to do this, and has anyone done so? Any examples you could point me to? Should I try to learn how to do this within a particular template system, or should I be using a Module that I'm unaware of? Should I be hacking into the source to make this work best? Can I somehow publish Pages to these particular locations which have nothing but the Flash content in them, and have them display as a big chunk above the Nodes/Blocks?

I am wondering if there is work or any interest in work in integrating full p3p policy support within Drupal?

http://www.w3.org/P3P/

Security & Privacy is of utmost concern for those of us running civic, industry and political type sites. I think drupal taking the lead in building a p3p policy integrated into the system would be great.

I've got a year's worth of posts in my Expression Engine blog, and I'd like to switch to Drupal. Are there any import utilities between the two?

Dear Drupallers,

make it work !
