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

changing installation directory later on

Is it much trouble if you decide that you want to change the directory that drupal is installed in. What I'm really more concerned about is url. Say I wanted to put drupal in site.com/d/ to play around with and then move it up to the root directory and keep my data, configurations, etc. Would that be a problem?

Multilingual Drupal: show all languages

Hello,

We are working on a Drupal multilingual site, having the i18 and locale modules installed. I now understand quite well how this Internationalization works, but we still can't get exactly the rendering we want. What we want is simple:

Whatever his language, a user should be able to see all contents, even if their is no translation available for his default language. In that case, he should see the text either in its original language or in English, set up as pivot language. Our order was : 1. User language ; 2. English ; 3. Other language.

But Drupal doesn't seem to allow that. The following node clearly says:

"When you navigate the site using multiple languages, the pages will just show the content for the chosen language plus the ones that haven't a definde language."
http://drupal.org/node/67827

We have tried 2 ways to go around this limitation, but there are not satisfactory:

1/ First define a content as without language before it is translated. But this doubles the content upon translation

2/ Add a replacement text on top of all languages with no translation, like "This text is not available in English. We would welcome a translation. If you have the proper rights, just Edit this page to tranlate it".
The inconvenient with this solution is that the content appears as being also in the other language on the bottom menu (after Add comment, etc.) though it is not translated.

Clean URLs on Mac OSX Tiger - please help!

Hi!

I almost spent an entire day in vain, trying to get clean URLs working on my dev machine - and all to be able to get CSS body tags working.

I'm on Max OSX Tiger, standard not server version, and I can't understand why it doesn't work.

My Drupal site is located in Library/WebServer/Documents/Drupal and is accessed through "http://localhost/drupal".

I've enabled "AllowOverride All" through Terminal and the phpinfo file says the mod_rewrite module is loaded.

In my .htaccess file, I have:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /drupal
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

I used a this tutorial to change the httpd.conf file.

I tried enabling the virtual host part from the tutorial (even though I don't know if that applies).

I changed:

<VirtualHost example.org:80>
     Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
     DocumentRoot /www/example.org/public
     ServerName example.org
     <Directory "/www/example.org/public">
          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
          AllowOverride All
     </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

from the tutorial, to:



Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
DocumentRoot /www/localhost/public

"node" page nodes listed by oldest -> newest

Somehow on my main node page the nodes/teasers are listed from oldest->newest. I don't know how this happend but how do I change it back.

This does not happen with taxonomy pages, forums, etc ONLY the node page.

Wordfilter module not working

Hi all,

I've installed the Wordfilter module which is filtering words from the node titles correctly, but not from any of the message bodies. Has any one had this problem before, or know of a solution?

Regards,

Changing Drupal's sorting method

I use Drupal's pager quite often on my (taxonomy-based) website and it works lovely... So far so good, except for one thing: The pager seems to order by node: created time initially and I'd really like to change this to node: title. Does anyone have an idea where - or maybe even how - to do this?
