Aggregator

Hi,

I am trying to limit a number of news items being dispayed on the News Aggregator page and can't figure out how to do it. Currently, it is displaying 10 excerpts from the feed, and I want it to be limited to 1 or 2 items.

I am not trying to to limit the number of items on the node , but on the news aggregator page.

Some email sent from Drupal being filtered (or dropped)

For information I'm running Drupal 4.7 on a Debian box with postfix installed.

I've recently been having problems where certain servers are rejecting email sent from Drupal. These email have been contact form generated or rsvp generated. This might apply to more but I just haven't tried sending from other modules yet.

I've found that when the email reaches the servers in question, the envelope address (or actual sender) doesn't match the from address. The spam filtering software on these servers then rejects the email completely. As I understand it, it's perfectly acceptable to have the sender and from addresses to be different. I guess that reasonable expectation is now a casualty of fighting spam. Fair enough.

In Drupal, the sender address can be specified in the General Settings for the site. This address is then tacked onto the sendmail command using the -f option. The sender address is set to the user account used by apache if no address has been specified in the General Settings.

How to use views argument value in a filter?

I'd like to pass the value of a views argument into the 'filter' in the views module.

I'd like to have it so that when I access a url like:
http://www.example.com/products/blue

All of the products who's node title CONTAINS the word 'blue' should be returned in a table view.

This is basically duplicating the functionality of the search module, but applying the same idea to views.

Ultimately, I'm trying to do this so that I can use the 'insert views' module like so:

Problem with site logos

I placed the files directory outside the root of my Drupal site for security. When I try to change the default logo or favicon for the site in any theme, Drupal/Apache successfully uploads the graphic into the directory but doesn't read it back out. At least, neither the logo nor the favicon displays. In some themes, a text link to Home appears instead of the logo. In the Garland theme, the site name appears twice. I've tried the logo as a GIF and as a PNG. I tried wiping out my 4.7 installation and doing a fresh install of 5.0 instead of an upgrade, but that didn't help this problem.
