Having setup a number of Xoops and e107 sites in the past I'm not a complete noob to cms but I'm finding elements of Drupal pretty tough.
This is my first day playing with Drupal so be kind, :)
I want to have a "latest story" block on the front page. ( can't quite believe that this in not standard)
I've seached and have read through a number of posts and I think I'm losing something in translation in terms that "module" "Block" mean slightly different things from cms to cms.
I am currently running a site that used to be just a phpBB2 site. I recently added drupal as the main page for some better content management. I currently use the phpbb module to have the drupal and phpbb portions work nicely together. The problem is that I have run into some annoyances with the current setup and would like to switch to an all drupal configuration.
I make a dropdown field called "foo bar" in cck. if I were to call that field say for a phptemplate, it should be "$foo_bar", right?
But if I go to my database via phpmyadmin, that field is called "foo_bar_value".
I also have used contemplate, and the field is listed as "foo_bar[0]"
So which is it? I am so confused.
I have been tring to figure out what the correct name is for awhile now, and nothing seems to work correctly. my previous question regarding cck, was too complicated, I guess, so I am just trying a simpler approach.
For organic groups when you create a group you can choose how people can subscribe. The last two choices are
invite only - subscriptions must be created by an administrator.
closed - subscriptions are fully administered by an administrator.
To me invite only would me the group administrator could invite people (by email) and they could choose to join or not. But I can not find any difference between the two modes 'invite only' and 'closed' and would appreciate if someone could enlighten me. Thanks
