Before you start

Hi there

I'm pretty new to drupal having just managed to install it on my test server. I have to develop a clubbing website that would contain loads of images which would be updated on a regular basis.

I also need to track registered users and have them restricted to certain areas of the site.

how easy is it for a regular user/administrator (no htp knowledge) to add content onto the site

I'll probably have many more questions in the near future and I thank you all in advance

Hey all
So i was reading install docs which talk about multi site install.
So i have 2 sites i want to run drupal on
www.site1.com and www.site2.com
Both will have their own directories under /var/www
/var/www/site1.com/htdocs
/var/www/site2.com/htdocs

Do i just install drupal two times into those directories or can multi-site install help me somehow? It's not quite clear from the avaliable documentation.

thanks all

I assume there will an upgrade path from 4.6.5 to 4.7 stable when it's out, but wonder how complicated can it be? Would one say it's easier to deal with current bugs in 4.7-beta3 than install 4.6.5 with modules and then try to upgrade them to stable 4.7?

Hey all
I'm wondering if 4.7-beta-3 supports G2 (Gallery 2). I've looked at the gallery module and it lists support for 4.6 only.

I would rather build my site on 4.7-beta-3 and then update it to stable 4.7 when it comes out. Putting 4.6.5 +G2 and then updating it to Drupal 4.7 when it makes to stable is going to be a big pain.

Thanks all

Hi folks.

I'm trying to figure out what the drupal.org site uses for its front page. Basically, i've been looking over the drupal.org site trying to use drupal.org as an example of what you can do and how to do it.

The layout of the page is similar, yet not quite the same as the rest of the pages on the site. In particular, the three boxes (blocks?) on the top of the page which (today) show "happy birthday", "a mission", and "download" stuffs respectively.

Does drupal.org use the "frontpage" module?

I would love to use the UserSwitcher.modulehttp://drupal.org/node/34273 on a 4.6 site but i'm not sure if patching form_autocomplete for 4.6 will do the trick. Anyone tried this?
