General discussion

I would like to be able to accept donations for several different causes on my website. Have a authorize.net and merchant account. I looked at the e-commerce module but it is geared to run with paypal and I can't seem to find away to let the user enter their donation amount, rather than a set amount. Any ideas for how to do this in Drupal? Is using something else for donations like oscommerce or something a better idea? Thanks

Is drupal a CMS with a "small m" or a "big M"?

I give kudos to Adrian for trying to push forward a simpler conception of the template system, as a simpler system will lead to more templates.

But one thing that it seems never gets discussed about creating presentation in Drupal (or gets ignored) is how flexible the placement of content should be.

Drupal is not alone in this, as many cms's have taken this route. For the life of me I dont know why but they have.

Most cms's out of the box should not really be called cms's they should more aptly be called CSS's (Content Storage Systems), as they are much more likely to easily allow you to store your data in every concievalble heirarchy than they are likely to allow you to display/manage it with equal flexibility.

Why is it that most cms's have decided that chrono display of posts on the front page is good design or even usefull for the majority of users?

Why even have posts with authors, for most sites this has nothing to do with the management or placement of content.

Looking at the web at large I would say that the default display of most cms's out of the box mirrors the style of only maybe 1% of the pages on the internet if that. Most poeple simply dont build blogs or news scrolls.

The net is mostly populated with pages on a specific static subject or selling a specific static product. So why make the default of a CMS something that most people dont want to build?

I'm working on a site for a non-profit and missionary community. The main features are: 1.blogs for each user that they can easily direct friends and donors to
2.Organization pages for various non-profit and missions orgs. to give general info.-mission area of work etc.- and latest news.
3. ability for people to donate to the organizations or individual missionaries through the site.

What is the difference between the two?

Hello everyone,

My edit-node functionality stopped working !?! When clicking on the 'administer'-link of a page nothing happens. Opening the link in a new window reveals an empty page.

First I thought it was a database problem. But restoring a previous backup doesn't solve it for me. (backup/restore is done through webmin|mysql-module).
I am logged in as administrative user with ID 1. I have access to all other admin.module functionality.
Problem is the same for an authenticated user with permissions to administer everything.

Being a newbie I tried to install gwork theme without all the proper files. I tried to follow some posts, to disable xtemplate which helped but still have this problem. Please check out http://www.1wo.org and see if you understand the error. this only happens on the admin/themes page.
