General discussion

I'm pretty much fed up with working on graphics for my drupal sites. There's a way that I can fix that. I can create a flash based css editor that can be used in drupal. It would give you a live preview of your site and allow you to change things like fonts, colors, positioning etc. It would then save the changes back to the css file. You as an adminstrator could use it or it could be setup so that your users could create their own theme. A lot of different options are possible and it could go far but it requires sponsors. I would need about 10 to 20 sponsors. Why?

Hi,

i wrote a php Block to display a type of nodes.
When the code is in the block, it works fine.

But if I create a PHP Page, the results are not show in the page.

Is there a difference?? Why it doesn't work?

Here are my code:

Hi

I was wondering if it is possible to build a Q & A Page, where guest would leave questions and members would answer the questions.Then when showing it in a list, the answered questions would be indicated one way, perhaps green, and the unanswered questions would be in red etc.

It would seem the forums module would suit this if it was tweaked. Is it possible to change the name of a module and load a second instance of it?

Perhaps there is an easier way?

Thanks

Okay,

I'm sorting a site out for someone and you know what? After trawling through PHP-Nuke, XOOPS, PHPBB, I installed Drupal from my site's Cpanel...and it seems very much what I'm after.

I'm still getting to grips with everything, however, and there doesn't seem to be a manual ;-).

So, this site will have three main areas:
Current Affairs
Music
Sport
and then General (my misc one!)

So I created an 'Area' Taxonomy and then put those four within it, and now I can put forum postings, stories, etc into one of the four areas.

So far so good, but I don't really understand precisely where the heirachy trees come in. Looking at other sites they have two or more descriptions with each item, and that's good. Ideally I'd want: Releases, Reviews, Gigs, etc. to be attached to Music; but then further it would be good to have 'Post-Rock', 'Experiemental', etc. as more optional additions.

And also Football, Cricket, Tennis, etc. in the sports bit would be a must.

The thing is, I don't know what is good or bad Taxonomy. So, in order to make sure that only One main area is picked but that it if you pick 'review' you still get the heirarchy of 'Music | Review' it seems I need a vocabulary of 'qualifiers' like review, listing, etc. separately?

And then a third vocabulary for stuff like 'post-rock', 'punk' to describe the music. But then this means that you could have 'post-rock' cricket if you wanted, which makes no sense.

Does anyone happen to have a sample node_import csv file to share?
I am planning importing mass data however I am not familiar with creating a csv file. Any help will be appreciated

Hi,

I just joined the Drupal mailing lists. If someone didn't happen to mention the lists in a forum post, I wouldn't have known they existed. They don't seem to be advertised or linked to from the Drupal site?

Also, is it redundant to have both the Drupal site/Forums and the mailing lists? Why not just do everything through the site? Seems like it would be more simple for both people seeking information and for those providing it.
