Post installation

Hi,

I have a few drupal website with which I have spamming problems :

1 - I had initially authorized everybody to post articles, comments, ... ==> too much spam so I only authorized authentified users to posts articles but let anonymous post comments
2 - still got a lot of spam with comments ==> only authorized authentified users to post comments
3 - notice that a lot of users had registered and put spam (ads for Viagra, ...) as their description ==> I then added the validation of administrator for creation of new users

Hi,

I would like ask whether is possible to state a duration limit or deadline to the articles or news posted and published in the central block, in the way they automatically dissapear in let's say, 1 week, or 1 month. Is there any module in order to implement this feature? Thanks.

This posting's local OSX ImageMagick install procedure via Darwin Ports(see jvandyk's comment)seemed to go off without a hitch, except Drupal (4.74 ) was unable to generate thumbnails and previews. Also, there doesn't seem to be any place to input the location of the convert binary in my Drupal interface. I screwed around with this for quite some time by attempting to modify the image.imagemagick.inc file to point it at /opt/local/bin/convert file, but alas it didn't work.

Hi everybody,

I have just installed drupal 4.7 and am trying to figure out how to reference php post data from one page to another.

Let's say I have a simple form like

(form action="test.php" method="post" name="search")

How should I reference page "test.php" in terms of nodes, where I will include $_POST[] statement?
Will it accept both GET and POST methods?
What about jscript code? Can I just include it into the html content page?

I currently have my website set up (it's under development) with a category for media (flash, video, music) and then another taxonomy called artists, and then subcategories for artists. I want to know if it's possible to have a block display on the music page that says 'Explore our Artists' and has a list of all the artists, but only on the music category listing.

Is it possible to tell the Drupal not to get a specific page content from the cache?
I've got a site that has a recommendation-link under every article and it leads into a page that sends the referring URL to the receiver. When I click on article X and "recommend", that page shows the URL of the article X, but when I continue to article Y and click recommend, the page shows the URL of the article X again, since it's cached - which is obviously not what I want. Any ideas?
