General discussion

I am planing to use drupal's book (outline) function to organize essential/thumb-up posts in forums. But, can it deal with thousands and even hundreds of thousands of book pages or forum nodes added into outline? It seems that the drop-down parent-node selection list will grow to a horrible size.

Anybody can help to clarify this question? thanks.

I would like to know if taxonomy_context.module will work for dropdown list of terms and sub-terms of taxonomy.

Here is what i was looking for?
Under create content nodes(book,image,etc.,) i have got a taxonomy block, now all the taxonomy terms and subterms are displayed under one multiple select box.

I would like to have three drop-down list boxes, selection of list1 (consists of terms),
will have sub-term populated in list 2
and selection of a sub-term in list 2 will populate the list 3 of sub-terms

hi, I've been looking into doing some podcasts and vogcasts from my site. I export (text only) rss feeds now to other sites, does drupal have a module to allow me to specify the enclosure tags in the rss file or is it just a matter of editing the existing module and adding something. I'm not really a programmer so if one already exists I'd be keen to try it out. most of the ipodder etc lists are talking about plugins for MT but I really like using drupal.

thanks

I've been trying to improve the performance of my teeny-tiny virtual web server host running Drupal. It's been an interesting process, as serving a moderate-volume site within a 128MB virtual Linux host is, shall we say, constraining :)

Up until recently, one of the web sites I run has been served purely with static pages. That worked well for some years, but they've noticed a large drop-off in traffic over the years, as more community-based sites with a similar focus have cropped up, and their static HTML, no-forums, minimalistic approach wasn't serving very well.

They enlisted my help for a site make-over, with a focus on improving usability and giving them the ability to have members of their organization participate in submitting articles and comments to the web site. Since it's not entirely ready yet, I'm not at liberty to share the URL, but along the way I discovered some excellent tips to increase performance.

One of my main concerns is that I've run a web site that has been DOS'd before (http://barnson.org/). This runs Drupal, and although it held up reasonably well under the strain, even with the cache module enabled, page return performance wasn't as good as it should have been under load. I began looking for an ultimate-performance-for-minimum-memory option, and think I found it in the combination of Drupal, jpcache, and turck-mmcache.

Configuration of Turck-mmcache, which caches the compiled PHP code from a site, has already been covered in the Administration Guide for Drupal, so I won't touch on it here. But after much searching, I haven't found anyone else who's used jpcache in conjunction with Drupal.

So, it seems drupal 4.5 is logging visitors out automatically. Why is that, and where is the setting to change it please?

thx!

I need a Drupal pro to convert a site from PHPNuke to Drupal, including modifying the existing theme. Also, to allow legacy URLs (I'm guessing via .htaccess) so my search engine indexed content won't be lost. I make my living from the site, so am willing to pay a fair price for a thorough job. But I'd really like to deal with someone intimately familiar with Drupal. If interested, please drop me a line at ben at scienceblog dot com.
