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

Which module does this?

There are lots of drupal sites that have urls of the form ../tags/tag-name. Is there a specific module that does this?

I haven't used free tagging so far...

Debugging PayPal IPN

Hi there,

I've read up lots of tips in other topics for getting PayPal IPN to function properly in conjunction with the paypal_subscription module. Unfortunately, even after trying these tips, I still haven't been able to get it to work properly after months of on-off effort.

Allow (upload) file links to become persistant, independant or outside of the 'file directory' parameter

The situation is - we want to incorporate a large, existing site with a lot of legacy file download links etc (bookmarked and hard-linked to from all over the place) into a Drupal document management system.

Sorry, Apache mod-rewrites are out of the question, and they'd totally confuse the later editors.

I've had some success with what I need to do to re-attach files to their appropriate Drupal nodes, but the first way of doing that for a site admin was to set the "File Directory" to "." - effectively allowing all the sites files to be available for attachment, and to allow admins to upload to various places. (I also built a 'save-as' plugin).
I've so far avoided making my own table or my own file-save methods by beating the existing upload.module into submission, (by lying to it, not by patching it) but I don't want to leave the 'files' directory as '.'
I don't want to build another alternative filemanager, like so many others have tried, I want to remain close to core.

I'm looking into (eventually) setting different base 'files' directories by roles, or by page type, or by alias path, (probably a bad idea) but all of them would like to know what the true path of a file is.

Currently, the 'files' table stores relative paths in the database, and these are rendered with the active file directory plugged on the front of it. This is why changing the files directory on a live site causes death.

Make a custom menu display on entire menu hierarchy without aliased paths

If I put OG and all my groups as part of a custom menu (where ../og has a parent menu item and all the groups are under it ..menu_item/og/trade-standards), it becomes extraordinarily difficult to make this menu block display throughout the entire menu hierarchy when on the group pages.

This is because OG's current pathauto function fails and it is virtually impossible to put all the group node ids and the ids of each group post in the block visibility settings.

There is probably a way to do this with some code. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Where can I download search.module?

news aggregator fsock error

I can add the drupal feed to the aggregator (drupal.org/rss.xml) and it works just fine, but any other news feeds return an error:

warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ihatetobacco.blogspot.com:80 in /home/barbara11/domains/mydomain.us/public_html/myfolder/includes/common.inc on line 371.

I'd really appreciate any help in this area. Thanks.
