Before you start

Hi,

I am a designer and am just starting to get to grips with dreamweaver (mainly design view) I would like to start designing dynamic websites and wondered if drupal would be the answer.

What I would like to be able to do is have a site with sections. For example a funniest jokes you've heard section, where web visitors can type in a add their jokes. I have read a bit about Drupal, will this do what I want it to. Is it relatively easy to customise?

I work on Mac OSX

Many thanks

I am in the process of looking for a solution for a site that i'm in charge of rebuilding. This site currently has 34,000 subscribers and gets an average of 60,000 unique hits per day. I am wondering if Drupal can handle this type of load anybody with experience that they can share would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Cris Mitchell

I believe HTML has the wrong file in the Downloads section.

When I unzip it - I find "forms_api_backport.module"

is there another way of grabing this file?

Dear Drupal Forum,

I am thinking of using drupal for our new website. The old website (www.oceanvoyages.com) relies on a custom mysql db and a crappy php/html front-end (I can say that because I wrote it, years ago). I like the advantages of tinymce/image_assist with drupal (if I can get them to ever work) for data creation, not to mention drupal's layout, organization, and useful plugins, but am unsure about the wisdom of transferring the data from the old db into drupal's format.

My questions are:

Ahoy,

I'm not sure if there's already a module for this, but I can't find one myself. It would be very helpful if admins could nest groups. When creating a new role, you could choose to nest it within a second role, so that every user in the second role automatically gains access to the new role.

My use case involves the node_privacy_byrole module.We have three roles at the moment:
- marketing_team
- marketing_segmentation_editors
- promo_team

Hi all
I would like to show the Navigation block to 'admin' users only in Drupal 4.7 rc3. I know that you can, under settings/blocks set the 'Page specific visibility settings' to 'Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only)'. The problem is that I'm not a 'expert'...

I have tried using the following code (found in this forum):
