Before you start

Using Plain1 in 4.6.6 and would like to both upgrade to 4.7RC2 and continue to use Plain1. I don't see Plain1 listed under 4.7 themes, however. Anyone try it? Thanks.

Hello,

I am having a lot of issues with my current host, so I am looking for a new solution for my soon starting new project based on drupal 4.7.

Do you run a high frequent site on a Dedicated or Virtual Dedicated Server? What Specs does it have?

I do not know how many users there will be in the first month, but there might be some times where a few more will come at once. So will a low end Server like Celeron 2000, 256mb RAM handle Drupal with let's say 400 visitors at once browsing and creating content?

I am building a setup where there will be multiple servers and I would like them to share the same auth. I will have server 1 hosting sub1.site.com and server 2 hosting sub2.site.com. If both of these are drupal installs, is there a way to share same auth session? So, that when you log into one you are logged into both.

I am aware of how to do this if both subdomains are on the same server but I run into the problem when they are split across servers.

I've been experimenting with Drupal for a couple months for new sites, but I'm wondering about whether I could covert database driven sites into Drupal.

What I'm specifically wondering about is the ability to generate pages based on the content in the database. How, for example, does Drupal work with a storefront, creating nodes for the product pages that are in the database?

Thanks!

I am trying to build a multi-dimensional forum, and am wondering whether drupal's forum can handle that. This very forum itself has two things, forums and drupal version. Maybe Drupal works for my purpose!?

So far, I have not encountered any php GPL software (or indeed any other) that can handle it. bbPress has some nice features with tags (forum topis can have tags), but it is not exactly what I need. So I am going ahead with SMF's child boards, but ultimately speaking, there should be a better way than that.

Let me explain what I mean by multi-dimensional forum:

It is a strange example, but let's say, one dimension is colour. There is another dimension called item.

For colour dimension, you have red, green, blue, yellow, etc.

For item dimension, you have telephone, cellular phone, laptop, etc.

When you make a posting, you select green and laptop respectively, for instance, to write about a green laptop. This top appears in a forum called green, but it also appears in a forum called laptop because this topic is related to both. So the people who are interested in green can read this forum. Also, the people interested in laptops can read this forum.

What is more, laptop is a child category of another item called computer. So, inside a forum called computer, this topic appears also. People with interest in computers read this topic.

These are just 2 dimensions with 1 dimension having child board structure. Ideally, the software I am looking for can handle infinite number of dimensions and child board structures. Sounds very complicated? In fact, I think it is the simplest thing.

Hi,

Sorry if this revisits old ground, I couldn't find much using the search though.

I've got a site I'm migrating from DragonFly. One of things I want to do is use the multiple site stuff to support some sub-communities or affinity groups. What I find is that the multiple site stuff works well, I'm sharing everything apart from locales, blocks and the watchdog tables just by way of a test and that's letting have a sub-site in a different language, different theme and different block layout. So far, so good !
