Best Practices Question: Custom Book Page Module

Greetings,

For my purposes, the content type "book page" works well, but the name is completely unintuitive, since the content will not be considered a "book."

In an effort to make the usage of the website as easy as possible, I would like to make a module that behaves just like the book page module, but is called something different, such as "info page" or something like that.

I tried the locale module, and I seem to be running into problems with that.

Is a "Read Only Mode" possible?

Is it possible to "freeze" a site into a ready only mode? Not to lock the site altogether from anyone accessing it... but make it so no one can make any edits, no comments/nodes/change passwords/etc. Absolutely frozen, yet still readable.

In the end, I'm looking for this feature during upgrades. I'd like to freeze the site, copy it to test, do the upgrade, and when everything is working replace the live version. Since this could potentially take hours or days, I'd like the site still readable.

Image module with drupal4.6

Hi,

I am trying to gte the image module working for me. After following through all the forum discussions on drupal to get over the initial errors thrown. I installed ImageMagick. Yet I get the warnings:

* Unable to create thumbnail image
* Unable to create preview image

Your image was created.

I do not get ay other logs/errors. Administer/logs tells me the image is filed.

I have used ImageMagick-6.3.0 and the path variables are correctly set.

Unix recognizes the convert utility, it is at /usr/bin/ImageMagick-6.3.0/bin/convert. This path is also set in Administer/settings, the ImageMagick Toolkit is selected, Location of the "convert" binary=/usr/bin/ImageMagick-6.3.0/bin/convert.

In the includes directory within the drupal installation folder,
/app/www/html/drupal-4.6.3/includes/image.imagemagick.inc the convert utility location is updated correctly.

Also checked the file permissions for files/images as 777.

PHP settings:

The php.ini file reads:

; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
file_uploads = On ; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads
;upload_tmp_dir = ; temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not specified)
upload_max_filesize = 2M ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files

I am running php 5 and drupal 4.6.

Could anyone please help me out with this. I have used a PHP binary distribution and would not prefer recompiling php, refer http://drupal.org/node/73986#comment-129412

Assign Access to Forums via Roles ?

Hello,

I wanted to setup some forums on my Drupal site (I am very new to drupal) ... but, I wanted to have basice forums that anyone could use but then I wanted to be able to assign from roles to people that would give them access to more forums. That is: like special in-group forums that are only accessible by people with those roles.

Is there an easy way to do this ? Do I need another module ?

Thanks

Tutorials and best practices for taxonomy or cck

I'm looking for some tutorials on how to create complex structures and unleash the full power of Drupal ;-)

Would be great if there were some walkthroughs for e.g.

- a newspaper site
- an educational site like a typical university chair
- a community site
- a commercial site with some public content and some content only for employees
