Post installation

One of the problems on my existing non-drupal site is people trying to hack my forms. I am not an experienced programmer and I solved the problem with some scripts available on the web.

I am looking into changing the site using drupal but I would like to know if webforms, which I am trying out, has these kinds of safeguards.

Thanks

I've recently installed the vote up/down module on my website with all the require and suggested extras. After enabling the extras, the vote up/down module doesn't work as it's supposed to. The voting part works, but it does not promote/demote articles on the front page. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

ok, I've spent many an hour tearing out hair over this little problem this week and am rather confused, I'm hoping somebody here can help me! I've got my forum up and running (using flat forum) but for some wierd reason I get user avatars in comments but not in forum node posts?? I've tried turning pictures in posts on and off like a million times (they appear in all other node types), it's quite simply a little wierd!

here is my node-forum.tpl.php

<div class="forum-left">

<strong><?php print $title?></strong> (posted under: <?php print $terms?> )
<?php print $picture; ?>
<div class="author-name">
Submitted by:<?php print $name?> (<?php print $submitted?>)<br />
<?php print t('Posts:') . ' ' . $posts; ?><br />
<?php print t('Joined:') . ' ' . $joined; ?><br />

 
</div>
</div>

<div class="forum-right">
<div class="content">
<?php print $content ?> 

<div class="links"><?php print $links ?></div>
<br class="clear" /> 
</div>
</div>

<br class="clear" />

and here is my template.php


<?php
function simplex_regions() {
return array(
'left' => t('left sidebar'),
'right' => t('right sidebar'),
'content' => t('content'),
'header' => t('header'),
'footer' => t('footer')
);
}
function phptemplate_system_themes($form) {
foreach (element_children($form) as $key) {
$row = array();

I have been using CivicSpace 4.6 because I thought the community features would be useful, but it turns out that I don't like the civicrm setup, but I am happy with everything else. I do run into problems not being able to download certain modules because of the version. I am wondering if I should just can my civicspace page (before I get members) and upload the drupal 4.7.3 version to my server so that I can use the newer mods???

Any advice?

I am having an issue with customizing stickys. It seems that all the information presented is processed before being sent to the theme, so I can't edit how they appear from there. Does anyone have an idea of where and how to edit them. I want the stickys to appear at the bottom of the news, and without teasers, among other simple customizations.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm working on a small extra-net site for a client. They have a large store of large files which need to be access controlled. These are often quite large -- ranging from 500KB to 50MB -- often far too large to successfully upload using an HTTP form, FWIW. There will be more of that size in the future, so attaching files to documents and uploading them is not a viable option.
