General discussion

I really like Drupal and have been using it for a few weeks now. I am a developer producing solutions using Java but I am considering building my application using PHP. Amongst the features I'd like to have in my application I'd like to use authentication, roles, email notifications, and lots of database access.

Orginally I considered building the application inside a portal and looked at Jetspeed.

I have added the following lines to my v4.5 conf.php file for mass url-aliasing, which works fine for v4.0. On v4.5 it does not work. When I add those lines, every link pounts to frontpage. Anything wrong in the code below?

I've installed the profile module in my drupal 4.5.0 website, and it's working fine. I added a field (among others) where user must fill in with the name of his home-city.
Now I'd like to give to authenticated users the option to perform searches on the content of the profile fields, e.g., users in a given city.
I realized that an item from a list selection becomes a link to a page showing all users that selected that field.
But the data in text fields are not listed this way.
The 'city' field in the example above doesn't seem to show up in search results.

We've just installed drupal 4.5 on a new system and we are experiencing "strange" performance problems.
I don't suspect that it is a Drupal problem, I'm just seeing if anybody else has experienced anything similar.

When I look at an image in a gallery, it defaults to a size other than the original dimensions - I have to click 'original size'. How can I stop this behaviour? I only want thumbnails and the original size.

From image.module
// Taxonomy select form
$output .= implode("", taxonomy_node_form("image", $node));

How to pass taxonomy_node_form to a javascript array?
