Post installation

I am new to drupal and not sure if this is already an answer to this question, but I couldn't find it using the search function.

My problem is as follows:

I have created a book which contains a safety manual. One section of the manual is a series of forms which I have in pdf form and I created a fileshare node using hte fileshare module. My problem is now I want that newly created fileshare node to appear as a section of the book (ie appear in the menu for the book).

Hi ,

I recently installed, the Apache2Triad 1.5.4 WAMP bundle and I find it to be a security risk..I'm just following on advice in the Drupal book by Packt publishing, which recommends this software package...

Since I installed it yesterday...I have been getting alerts from my antivirus telling me a remote pc is trying to access my pc....What a drag!!

All I want is to test install a Drupal site away from the internet, but now this problem is freakin me...

Hi, all -

I posted this earlier under "hosting" but there was no reply, so I'm trying it again under "post installation".

My web site is currently hosted on DreamHost. While I'm generally satisfied, I've had a whole string of problems around trying to set up a mailing list/community. Part of the problem is that DreamHost has turned off some PHP for security reasons. Right now I have working versions of both Drupal and CivicSpace on my account. I was hoping that the fact DreamHost advertises its support for Drupal would enable me to overcome the mail problem. So far, no luck.

When I looked at Drupal community comments from last year, there seemed to be widespread problems with setting up mail. The only solution I saw was "roll your own PHP" - I'm just not confident I have the skills for this. However, in the "Hosting 2006" thread, there seemed to be a lot of enthusiasm for DreamHost. I can't imagine that the Drupal community would be that enthusiastic if they couldn't get the mailhandler to work.

Has something changed at DreamHost regarding mail? Is there now something I can do other than "roll your own PHP"? I've been looking for a new web host, but I'd rather just stick where I am if I can get mail working.

Ps. I'd ultimately like to have CiviMail, but the current beta instructions are out of my league.

Thanks in advance for any advice. I'd especially be grat

Hello,

I just installed the SMTP module and it works great in that the system can send emails when users sign up or forget passwords or what have you..

However, I am curious... how do I make use of this module if I want to write code that sends an email? What functions do I call? I dont see documentation anywhere about this.

Thanks,

JM

I'm trying to figure out how to moderate unpublished nodes. From what I have read, the moderation queue has been removed/disabled/whatever in 4.7. However the option to dump new nodes to the moderation queue still exists. So is it still there?

I run a small non-profit in Vermont dedicated to helping students write better. We provide classroom exercises, selections of best student submissions and samples of great visual art by students. The project started as (and continues as) a weekly newspaper feature. I started the Web site last year: www.youngwritersproject.org

I am in the process of developing a new site with Drupal. I have struggled with it but am starting to learn Drupal and am gaining some headway. I have just completed a re-installation so I can start with clean set-up. I am building a simple foundation and will gradually add features as I go. You can see my start at www.youngwritersproject.org/drupal

I am interested in flexinode as a possible way to have hidden submissions that only judges can read.

I am interested in tagadelic as a way for students to pop in cool urls on writing/reading that they like.

Here's the problem. And please forgive me if this question is on the order of: "How do you switch on a computer?"

I've loaded both modules up but there seems no way to get anything started; I feel like I've been handed the keys to a car that has no ignition. There appears no way to start a flexinode page nor does there seem anyway to start a module or block or anything that would allow folks to add tags to tagadelic.

Can anyone help? Again, my apologies for asking such a seemingly silly question; I am a newbie at all this and my old site represents what I taught myself last winter: HTML; a lot of this Drupal stuff is, honestly, baffling, but I can recognize the huge potential of what folks have done here. And I think, in the last analysis, this software and this community are awesome.
