Post installation

Hi, I have my blog up and running and am happy with that but I have a problem. I need 2 blog categories. 1 for my personal blog and 1 for member blogs. So for example the blog homepahe should contain the usual blocks such as recent blogs, calebdar block, etc however it should have a block with recent member blogs and a block with my blogs, something like that. I have been browsing around the modules pages but it's all quite confusing. If anyone can help point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, I'm using drupal 4.7.3
Im using ipower as my hosts and for some reason on my 3rd package with them, the server I'm on needed the smtp module to send our mail. I set that up and it worked. Then recently it stopped sending email confirmations (w/ passwords) to new users. The error would be as follows:

Error sending email: SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: NEWACCOUNT@gmail.com From: ME-ADMIN@WEBSITE.com To: NEWACCOUNT@gmail.com

I checked all the settings, and I'm 99.99% sure I didnt touch/change anything related to module or site settings that would affect emailing. I played around with it and have found out that while the smtp module is inactive, the test function through that module works to send mail. BUT while still inactive the core drupal system cant send our forgot password emails, new account emails, or any email for that matter. While SMTP module is set to active, the test function within it DOES NOT work and the same error is shown as above. Core also doesnt work when smtp set to active.

I have even uninstalled/reinstalled smtp, and played around with it being on, different configs, no authentication, everything. No success. I have contacted my webhosts on this issue and awaiting a reply sometime soon. They said it was high priority for the issue but some how i have the feeling they dont understand the problem.

Now, the new twist to the glitch is that when install the adv user module (in order to mass mail members), i found that the mass mailer works sending out mail while the smtp function is off, but fails with the same error as above when smtp is on. The other thing is that with the adv user mass mail function, when working, it has no 'from' attribute in the emails. Where as everything else has had the sitename in the from field.

Hi all

My goal was to add a location for each node, based on userfriendly input: city and country names. I picked the location module for this. linked to the gmap module it could theoretically provide a nice map with displaying locations for nodes. Theoretically. Because entering these data apparently is not enough for the location.module to find out the coordinates. I am not very familiar with its code yet, and I am not really sure if this module is even capable of what i want from it. Is here anyone using it like i would?

I am curious if it is possible to create a block like the one on this page - it is on the right side of the page and says "Today's Most Popular Stories" then there are 3 tabs - i would love to do that on my site. is it possible?

hi ,

My drupal based website was working fine on sunday evening but on next day i found that its response time decreased from 5-6 sec to 40-45 sec. :(

I called up my hosting provider, they tried to figureout the problem but in vein & in the end they changed the server. But still the response time is around 20-25sec.

Can someone plz let me know, what may be the possible cause of this problem?

Thanks,
Sumeet

I have installed Drupal 4.7 on a Linux Machine and registered for the admin account. But when I try to login through the home page, after writing my login info, the login button doesnt seem to respond and I am unable to login as admin. So I need to ask for a password reset in order to login. What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
