Dynamic vs static

By gtorino on 12 Oct 2006 at 18:57 UTC

I'm considering Drupal 4.7 for a web site that is projected to get 4.5 million hits a month, and I'm concerned about server load.

As I understand it so far, Drupal generates dynamic rather than static content, and I wonder if static content wouldn't handle the traffic better? Seems to me high dynamic draws on a database could bog it down.

Any thoughts?

Integrating Drupal Into My Website

By qualitycrashtests on 11 Oct 2006 at 21:41 UTC

Hi everyone. I'm interested in using Drupal with my website www.qualitycrashtests.com . How difficult is it going to be to integrate my design in? I had considered using Joomla, but I couldn't figure out how to set up a template at all. If anyone can give me some insight, that'd be great.

Thanks!

ContentLink - Can you turn it off?

By samdeskin on 11 Oct 2006 at 16:48 UTC

Hello,

I am considering using Drupal, but there is annoying advertising on all of the websites that I have seen that use Drupal.

Is it possible to get rid of the Content Link system so that it does not appear on my website? How???

Drupal and Postgresql

By wall_unit on 10 Oct 2006 at 10:24 UTC

Hi,

I intend to setup a website with news and forum using Drupal. Until now i use most of the time MySQL for my stuff. But I heard much nice about Postgresql and have already a postgresql server running on my server. So I would like to do this project with Postgresql instead of MySQL, but I'm not absolutly sure about that.

Calling Javascript from .tpl files

By hakeem on 10 Oct 2006 at 07:34 UTC

Hello,

I want to use Javascript to make popup description of something. THe following file popup.htm works prettily when it runs as an independent file.

 
//   ##############  SIMPLE  BROWSER SNIFFER
if (document.layers) {navigator.family = "nn4"}
if (document.all) {navigator.family = "ie4"}
if (window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().match("gecko")) {navigator.family = "gecko"}

overdiv="0";
//  #########  CREATES POP UP BOXES 
function popLayer(text){
if (navigator.family == "gecko") {pad="0"; bord="1 bordercolor=black";}
else {pad="1"; bord="0";}
desc = 	"\n"
	+"\n"
	+text
	+"\n
\n"
	+"
";
if(navigator.family =="nn4") {
	document.object1.document.write(desc);
	document.object1.document.close();
	document.object1.left=x+15;
	document.object1.top=y-5;
	}
else if(navigator.family =="ie4"){
	object1.innerHTML=desc;
	object1.style.pixelLeft=x+15;
	object1.style.pixelTop=y-5;
	}
else if(navigator.family =="gecko"){
	document.getElementById("object1").innerHTML=desc;
	document.getElementById("object1").style.left=x+15;
	document.getElementById("object1").style.top=y-5;

Drupal to manage a fantasy hockey league site?

By brianestadt on 10 Oct 2006 at 02:25 UTC

So, after using Drupal for work I'm wondering if it'll work for play. I suspect it's very very likely far too much work for my one fantasy hockey league with 10 teams, but, well, we're geeks and it'd be nice to drop Yahoo sports for a custom league home. Only thing is, it'd only be feasible if the process of importing stats could be automated. I'm willing to put in the work to set up the site, but want to have fun during the season -- I'm not willing to be bogged down with the culling/importing of data nightly.
