Post installation

I have just installed the event module on my website and I like to convert several nodes that where previously of blog type (I was using them to announce future events).

Is there a way to change the type of a node other than deleting the original node and recreating it with the desired type?

Thanks

I have an idea that i'm not entirely sure will work but i'm hoping to discuss openly to see if its feasible.

I aim to have a subdomain that is for groups in our area so will use the organic groups module to achieve that task.

One thing i think would be unique is the ability of group admins (the ones who created and / or maintain their group websites) to have access to other themes and blocks they can display to make their sub websites unique to them.

Themes are easy as its part of the module to allow a group admin to select available themes and (hopefully) if i can find a way to grab the missions and group titles from a group to provide a global variable, i can adjust templates so each is unique, or as unique as it should be.

Then i can just print a $og_mission where a template header would be and, coupled with IMCE and TinyMCE, would allow them to upload images and design their own unique header to any given template.

see http://drupal.org/node/104199

Now blocks are slightly different but i do have some ideas here.

As you know blocks can be set to allow members to turn on or off their visibility in their members profile. I'm wondering if this is where we could use a checksum to allow rendering of premade blocks on a per group admin basis, set through that admins profile.

How it would work is that as global admin i would present a number of blocks that groups could use. These blocks will be switched off or on in a default state of my choosing. Now the group admin may not like some of the blocks or may prefer some that are not activated globally at the offset. So they go into their profile page, tick a box or untick a box and BHAM, the block shows or doesn't show on their groups home page to everyone.

Hi there

Just upgraded my site to Drupal 5 RC1.

Am having problems with the profile module -- when new users register, their home country (a profile field) isn't being stored in the database... any idea what's going on?

Thanks!

Hi

As the subject indicates, no comfirmation email is being sent to the newly registered users (as the Drupal system claims it should). I have searched the forums for hours and apparently, lots of people are experiencing this issue. I have tried the recommendations suggested but have had no success. Incidentally, I am just trying Drupal out on a free web host at awardspace.com. If anyone has had success in this regard, I would really appreciate some assistance in solving this problem.

Cheers

I use the wonderfully simple contento module to add a MY trading lists function to the website.

There is ONE page where I can't click on the person's username! I also can't click on the first two taxonomy terms in the post.

http://www.animecards.org/node/239

She has other trading lists, for example, this one http://www.animecards.org/node/219, and everything is fine.

I just moved a test site to a new server and am preparing to launch it when it seems that the search function is throwing up errors, like this:

Table 'web79-ue2.search_total' doesn't exist query: SELECT t.word AS realword, i.word FROM search_total t LEFT JOIN search_index i ON t.word = i.word WHERE i.word IS NULL in /home/sites/urbanexpression.org.uk/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 121.
