Post installation

Hi,

I am currently running a drupal site with the Gallery2 module and of course Gallery itself in the backend.
Users on my site can create their own album , and upload/delete their pictures in there.

Gallery2 is waaay to fully featured, and I'm slowly becoming rather tired of G2. It's so easy to get DB tables corrupted, and I find gallery rather slow too. (Plus a horde of other little issues I have)

Comes down to the fact that I don't need all that functionality.
I would like to find out if there's no basic way of doing this in Drupal itself with addon modules, instead of relying on a 3rd party application.

All I need would be:
* Ability for users to create an album under the root album, and upload pictures to that album
* Users should only have add/remove access to their own albums
* Users should be able to view all albums
* Obviously thumbnails should be created automagically.
* Multiple image uploads at once
* No need for an image title when uploading it.
* and maybe a few more, but i'll get to that later.

My feeling is that with modules like Views, CCK, Maybe OG, and Image this could be done (I might be completely wrong here), but I have no idea where to start and which modules to use.

Afterwards, modules like Lightbox2 could make it really pretty.

After the upgrade to 5.0 Final today, drupal will not login with Safari. Firefox is working fine though. Has this been an issue for anyone else?

Hello,

I've been fine-tuning a couple of things on a site I've been working on, and today the forum module completely died on me. It's quite likely it was something I did while I was fiddling around with other things, but I've tried to go back to the way I had it and no luck.

What it's doing:
When I try to create a container (or forum) under Forums (Administer>Content Management>Forums) it allows me to do either, and even confirms that the newly created container or forum was created successfully, but then under list nothing appears and under the main Forums link (site.com/forum or site.com?q=forum) it says "No forums defined". Also interesting, I've checked the content types for forum topic, container, and category and none of them say to promote to the front page .. but if I look on my front page, the new container/forum I just created is there. Just the title, no additional information, and editing it gives me no additional options. When I view the newly created content from the content page, the content type is blank.

What I've tried:
Administer>Menus>Forums>Reset
Unchecking and then later rechecking the forum module checkbox.
Many other things I can't remember. (Obviously I don't really know what I'm doing).

I'm a 4.7 user and have been using the "inline" module for displaying an image in a post. Is there a better way in 5.0 or do we still have to use this somewhat cumbersome method still? The inline module has not been updated to work with 5.0 so I'm not able to switch my sites without loosing all my images.

Hi,

I got 4.7 up and running and I'm drowning in menu configurations. Trying to grasp the taxomnomy concept...

But does anyone know a probably really simple thing: how do you you have no author for a story or page? Especially the static pages where I just want some introductory copy.

I've discovered that if I leave the author field blank (in the create content) it creates "aunonomous author" but this is probably worse than a name. I know this can be done because I've seen many Drupal sites with no author posted. Thanks so much,

Doug

Hi, I'm trying to make a simple list using the views module. I have my taxonomy with the parent

Washington, DC
--DC News
--DC Reviews
--DC Shows

I want the list to have articles from both the parent and child categories.

Under filters in the View admin, add Taxonomy - show all of and pick the Washington DC category. But nothing shows up. It says something about the depth option, but after trying all and 1 and anything else google could find I still came up short.
