General discussion

Why is there not a "bundled" theme that is set as the default in drupal that covers all the basic features? I am a newbie. I've only been working with drupal for a few days so I might figure this out soon, but.... I need to display my "Mission" on my site. I'd like it displayed at the top of just about every page. And I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. I've tried all three themes that ship with drupal.

Is there a module or hack for an rss feed of the submission queue submissions?

Is there anyway in drupal to ban IPs? I have an anonymous user trying access a bunch of admin fuctions.

Should I assume this is someone familiar with drupal trying to game my site?

Comparison of some PHP/MySQL CMS (e107, Drupal, Xoops, Mambo, Postnuke, Xaraya). I think it interesting results.

I don't understand what the expiration threshold option means in the queue module options.

Anyone?

Hi

I'm an otherwise very satisfied and happy Drupal user, with an up-to-date CVS install that I'll put into production sometime in the next few weeks on our company intranet. For me the following is a nice-to-have but for others it could I guess be a show-stopper - please can code be tested on postgreSQL before release? There are currently quite a few bits (in stable, not just in cvs) that break when used with pg. Not least of these is update.php.

FWIW I've seen some discussion of late (not here) arguing that mySQL is easier to use and PG isn't worth the effort and will / should go away and therefore developers shouldn't bother continuing to support it. I hope that doesn't happen here. People like me, working for a commercial organisation, have to minimise the number of different operating systems, and database server systems in use, to reduce the time (cost) involved in supporting, and learning them. Because some of our applications, as you would expect in a commercial environment, require industrial-strength database functionality and scale, we have to use PG. Therefore we want (need!) to use PG for *all* our open-source and bespoke applications (and we're now seeing PG compatibility in some commercially available apps we're evaluating).

IMHO the number of MySQL and PG users or installations is not alone a good measure of their relative importance. Imagine the effect on the status of Drupal of just one (most likely PG) installation by a major corporation.
