Before you start

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone was working on a KittenAuth module for Drupal as an alternative to using captcha?

Hi,
i'm a bit confused as how to handle module updates.

For drupal core, it is simple: you have numbers: 4.7...4.7.1....4.7.2.....

But for modules, you only have one number: 4.7 . Still, some modules are updated almost daily but the number doesn't change.
So how are we supposed to do ? Lets say I installed a module a month ago, and a new version of the module comes out that fixe a problem.

Hi,
will the upcoming CCK allow seach by fields ?

For example, if I create a field "Country" and "City", will I be able to ask drupal to return all nodes containing "Australia" in the field "Country" ?

Could I even do a combination to return results containing XXX from field "Country" AND YYY from field "City" ?

Thanks,
Brakkar

Hi,

I know that Drupal is the grand poobah of community-based sites, but not sure even it can tackle this situation?

1) User registers. Submits Photo (important) and info.

2) Administer reviews registration info and places user into one of three groups.

3) Each group, following log-in, is presented with its own information, specific to that group.

It's highly important that each group can not view the other groups' content, or even know that the other group exists.

Hi, I read many posts about problems with hosting on Godaddy.com because there was problem with LOCK TABLES.
Does somebody known how is situation now?
Is it working now?

I known that there are also some other hostings, but Godaddy.com has price and parameters which I can accept.

Thank you

We've been setting up a site for our college for about a month now, using Joomla.
http://www.dur.ac.uk/StChadsJCR
The hosting is provided by the university (Durham) and I've been having some problems; I wondered if they could be solved by using Drupal.

1) The hosting has been acting a bit strange with Joomla, and installing components is a nightmare as php_safemode is always on (and cannot be removed). Is this also the case with Drupal? Also, I know that mod_rewrite is not supported, is this crucial? Is there a work around?

2) This is a community site - we would like everybody in the college to be able to log in and post news articles. Individual member profiles/blogs are not a necessity but might be nice to have. What attracted me to Drupal was that community elements seemed to be built in a lot better than Joomla, which uses Community Builder, which I can't get to work properly.
We would like anybody to be able to sign up and post to the forums (ie prospective students) but only students from St. Chad's College to be able to post news and to vote in elections and polls. I asked my computing service and they didn't know how to do it but told me there were a couple of php functions - $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] and getContactDetailsFromLDAP() which could be used inside the 'password' folder to verify a student's college based on their Durham University username.

Would it be possible to implement these into a login screen to verify that the user was a Chad's student (by looking at their username) and thus give them access to certain parts of the site?
