Post installation

Drupal version 4.7.4 currently installed

I have three (3) individual Drupal 4.7.4 websites and notice that while in the administration mode, the user account settings (Home » user account » edit » account settings) do not display an “authenticated user” role check box as it did in version 4.6.x.

I have tried different themes, but the “authenticated user” role check box still does not show up.

Is this a bug?

I've created one default category (feedback) for default contact module and have created a primary menu item linked for the contact form. When i am logged in as admin, i am able to see the contact menu item link and the form when i click on the link but when i am logged out it disappears. What i wanted was for all users to see the contact form. Is there access settings for the contact module that i am missing? I havne't even got to the stage of assigning roles and permissions yet.

thanks,

When I create a new vocabulary in Drupal 5 RC1. I saw "Hierarchy" with 3 options "Disabled", "Single" and "Multiple". Wonder where I can see them in used. I can't see any different by switching between those options.

I would be great if Hierarchy is something similar with Directory Module which I can make the front page show a whole vocabulary.

Hello everyone,

I have the poll module on the right side of my page, but how do I take it off of the middle?

I'm using Drupal 4.7.2 and my host recently updated PHP from 5.1 to 5.2. Since then, no one is able to log in. The host found a patch called session_2.patch on the drupal site at http://drupal.org/node/93945#comment-155161 and has applied it. It made absoluetly no difference so either the patch wasn't applied properly or the problem is not related to whatever this patch fixes.

First post here.

Have installed a test version of Drupal 4.7 and a little lost on what to do next for a project I want to use Drupal for, not even sure if Drupal can do what I want.

Will explain what I've done and want-

I've been using WordPress for quite a few sites like http://www.morearnings.com/ and have got a good grasp of it's templates and plugin system (I understand it quite well).

I planned to convert this site of mine http://www.classic-literature.co.uk/ (public domain classic books) to a CMS (currently not using a CMS, it's semi-static and hard to update) and tried WordPress first, but ran into problems when it came to paging (creating say a 100 page book from one post). WordPress has paging (the nextpage tag) but it's not automated, though got around this with a custom script that added the tag to the source text files used to create the books before pasting into WordPress. So I got it working, actually my 15 year old son who has recently started learning PHP got it working (the custom script) in about 2 hrs (I'd spent weeks looking for a solution!!!!).

Unfortunately it turns out that though in a browser I get exactly what I wanted at server level every page loaded in a browser grabbed the entire post (the full book which can be over 1mb of text!) from the database!! So a book containing say 100 pages when loading page 1 the entire book is accessed from the database causing a slow down and a big waste of bandwidth, even though only the text for page one is shown in a browser, the same is true for all pages. So works, but not practical due to the way it accesses the database, imagine the bandwidth wastage with say 200 books, each with a couple of hundred pages and Google etc... spidering them every few days!!
