Post installation

Is there a way to prevent users from immediately creating content one after another? Ie. a time duration between when users can post. Thanks.

I mistakenly installed the CVS version of the Category module ( http://drupal.org/node/39683/release ) instead of the stable version. I am worried that this may cause problems when I eventually update to the stable version. They were both last updated on the same day, so I am not sure that I even need to worry about it?!?
If I may run into problems with the CVS version, any recommendations on how I can revert to the stable release?

Hi All,

I'm running drupal on my server, on port 8080 instead of the usula 80. Most of drupal gives no trouble, but AcidFree refuses to show thumbnails of images/videos that I upload. Initially I thought it was a problem with PHP/Apache build (I built Apache2.0.58, MySql 5.0.22 and PHP 5.1.4 (with gd, jpeg, png, zlib) from sources to install into /usr/local/mystuff/
). However, on delving deeper, it turns out that either of {Drupal, FileManager, Acidfree} are interpreting the port number in the URL (i.e. http://my.server:8080/node/2) as a file path rather than a port number.

So the HTML source (for the image list) shows up like this: <img src="8080/filemanager/getfile.php?id=24"> while in reality, the SRC bit should read just "filemanager/getfile.php?id=24".

Can this be a problem with drupal's automatic URL conversion to "readable" URLs (i.e. /node/6 instead of /index.php?node=6), or is it a problem with Acidfree / FileManager? If anyone else has solved an issue like tihs, I would love to hear the solution!

Stuff that I have tried:

1. setting $base_url=http://my.server:8080 in the settings.php file
2. adding a rewrite rule to Apache to translate all */8080/filemanager/* to $1/filemanager/$2 (the regex is correct, Apache's RewriteLog tells me so
3. changing the "public url" configuration in the filemanager module

Perhaps someone can help me with this. A bit of background: Among others, I have a vocabulary called "Locations." The terms within Locations are (obviously) places. I would like to check if a location is given for the node, and display the name of the location on a title bar that is separate from the rest of the node. The layout looks something like this (please pardon the ascii art):

|Header                       |
|_____________________________|
|Location Name         |R.Nav |
|______________________|      |
|L.Nav| Node           |      |
|     |                |      |
|     |                |      |
|     |                |      |
|     |                |      |
|_____|________________|______|
|Footer                       |
|_____________________________|

Since the name of the location is outside the node, the taxonomy is not (AFAIK) accessible. Does anyone know how to display a term from a specific vocabulary, outside the context of the node?

Hi,
I would like to load images the same way as Flickr shows them in this example
I'm referring to the collapsable sets that appear on the right - under "This photo also belongs to".
Does any one knows a module that can do this thing?
Cheers,
Amitai

I'm querying another (i.e. not Drupal's) database from a block that is on every page. I don't want use resources opening a separate db connection if I don't have to, so currently I'm just using a simple mysql_query call with the other database name specified in the SQL.

$result = mysql_query("select * from db_name.table_name;");
// then output stuff from $result

It seems to work OK, but I just wanted to check whether anyone knows of a good reason not to do this. Thanks!
