General discussion

Hennlo and thanks in advance:

I have installed the Taxonomy_menu module but I'd like to display the newly created pages and new navigations system in a different block. Is it possible?

thank you for your time

It took me ten minutes to figure out that it is crab and does not work as we expect it should. At least it is not the software we expect from useful idiots. The taxonomy is a nice idea. However far to complicated to be realized by second class programmers.

With MT changing its license structure, Drupal gets better (in a relative way).

Or isn't drupal getting better, even relatively because the license of Movable Type always had the option to change and become more restrictive? Was Drupal always better due to its GPLicense?

One of the best articles I read regarding non-free licenses is here. This is about the beatifull words "free enough" and the culpits that come with it.

Well, are there? ;-)

I was thinking of writing a theme to hide affiliate links, if you dont know why this is a good idea, dont worry about it... it's not for you.

Proposed Features

• Database of affilate links
• Click Stats for links
• Urls would look like example.com/linkhider?id=123
• Pop up window to show links in DB with there html snippets on the create node forms

Anyone else get any use out of somthing like that or have any suggestions for features or better ways of doing it?

Hi all,

anyone know if it's possible to get somthing like the front page mission statement on specific taxonomies?

Like if i had a section called 'fast cars' i'd like a little static blurb on the index page for that term....

Seems odd it cant be done, but then maybe it's just me who cant work it out! ;-)

Many thanks...

Here is want I'm trying to do. I want to store images in a database (many small ones). Then I want to be able to use a simple tag like <img src=http://www.here.com/showpic.php?id=33> when I want to get that image back out and display the image.

Then the code would be like (I'm just tossing this together, I actually want to do more processing):

< ?
  $result = db_query("SELECT image_type, image_data FROM sometable WHERE pic_id = '%d'", $id);
  $i = db_fetch_object($result);

  Header("Content-type: image/{$i->image_type}");
  echo $i->image_data;
? >

That's all I want to display..Just the header and image data.

Is there way I can simply do this using the drupal system, or I do I need to wrap this around a seperate system to make the DB connections, etc.

It would be nice to use this as a function within the module that uploads/handles the images. Any ideas? I'm not sure which hook to use to remove the other content, or other drupal function. So, maybe the img src tag would be: www.here.com/mymodule/display/33 and act much like the other URLS of drupal.

I'd appreciate any pointers.
