Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

Moving Drupal - database import problem

Hi,

I am working on a Drupal website and getting some problems with my actual host. Pages often load only partially and I get many errors. I think it's not Drupal problem, but I still want to check if it works better with another hosting company (a good one).

Menu administration mass-update view like the Book outline?

Does anyone have a page php snippet that lists the menu hierarchy in a "mass-edit" view such as the books outline page (admin/node/book)?

That would simplify mass-updates as with for examle identifying and setting the weight of all top-level menu entries to 0 or the like to enforce alphabetic listing on a certain menu level.

The menu administration page would itself make such a job easier if it had a column that displayed the weights, so one did not have to edit each one to identify which needs to be updated.

Quotes module install problem

I've just uploaded the quotes module to my site and have activated in drupal, but when I go to the settings of the quotes module itself, I get an error on the configure blocks page:

user warning: Table 'dubber_drpl1.quotes_blocks' doesn't exist query: SELECT qb.* FROM quotes_blocks qb ORDER BY name ASC in /home/dubber/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

My guess is the table hasn't bveen set up properly, but the install.txt file doesn't say anything about that, just to upload the module.

Any suggestions folks?

How do I present virtual forums?

Hello,

I'm trying to find a better way to present my forum content by leveraging taxonomy vocabularies at most. So in order not to have to cope with the limitations of the default Forums vocabulary which is created when forum module is activated, I created a big bag-like forum (called "Open Space" in this vocabulary to serve as a container for all the forum topics. And then I added a few taxonomy vocabularies whose terms can be applied on forum topics, such that a unique topic can be tagged with several terms from different vocabularies.

And now I would like a create a forum view that reflects that organization, that is instead of having forum topics presented by container forum, I'd like to present one virtual super-forum for each vocabulary, and one virtual forum for each term in each vocabulary.

For example, if I have the following vocabularies:
- programming languages: Java, C#, PHP
- server technologies: .Net, J2EE
- architectural concepts: SOA, EAI, RIA

Instead of having a page presenting only the "Open Space" forum, I'd like it to present a forum-container-like table for programming languages, another one for server technologies, and so on. And for each vocabulary container, I'd like to see one forum for each vocabulary term, with the number of topics, the number of messages and a link to the last message. And of course, if a topic is tagged say with 'Java' in programming language and 'SOA' in architectural concepts, I'd like it to appear in both numbers of topics. That's what I mean by virtual: in other words, the sum of all the topics in various virtual forums is not equal to the number of topics in 'Open Space' real forum.

Drupal and Japanese

Hello all,

I got word from some people in Japan that they were not able to register or post messages on my Drupal site. After some investigation, it turned out that they were using Wide-Latin (Wide−Latin) instead of normal ASCII characters. Apparently, Wide-Latin is a separate set of latin characters that go better with CJK characters.

Modules page blank when installing events module, Need reply ASAP!

Hi
I've just setup drupal on my schools website. It's all working fine, but we require the events module, so I copied it via ftp went to admin/modules. And saw that the events module required the view module. I refreshed the page after copying the views module it was blank. I can now only get the blankness to go away by deleting the events module folder.

I need a reply ASAP, thanks in advance.
