AcidFree and Alphabetical Listings

Hello!

I was wondering is any way to get Acidfree to display albums alphabeticall as opposed to be assigned weight? So far, acidfree does everything I need it to, except for this. I can set the weights by hand if I need to to get the albums in alphabetical order, but that is an extreme amount of work, since I have 60-70 different albums, of which more are added every week.

In fact, since the weight only goes from -15 to +15, it cannot even be alphabetized easily. also, reorganizing the albums every time I add one would be a useless endeavour...

How to using locale in static php pages?

Hi,
how can I use the locale module in a php static page?
what have I to include in my php static pages so it can work?
That means, I can use like t('User login'); and then it shows the correct language.

Is that possible?

Changing the way the submit form writes to node

Hi All,

I have created a nodetype module with a few extra parameters in an extra table and everything works fine.

Forum Module downgrading, a strange request I know!

Hi there,

I'm porting a site to Drupal which has been going relatively smoothly so far however...

Now I've got to port their nasty proprietary m$ forum over too *bleurgh*...

I've written a python program to convert the original forum database into a form of my choosing (pidgin xml at the moment but easy to output in any format) so the data format's not a problem. Given Drupal's considerably superior functionality I'm working on the assumption that injecting this data into a drupal forum may not be v.straightforward!! so...

Q1...
Is this actually the case? If it's much faff at all I'll just mothball the existing content and make it searchable but if it's not too big a job I might attempt it.

Secondly, and more importantly, I need to make the new forum work just like their old forum (very oldskool!!!!), NO topics, just one big board with all the posts UNROLLED! (see: http://www.cmlsupport.org.uk/Templates/DiscussTemplate.aspx?navigation=40k). The site owners are adamant and unmoveable on this despite my pleas for sanity and modernity. So...

Q2...
How hard might it be to customise the forum module to act/display in this way?
Is it something I could accomplish with CSS or will I have to mess with the PHP?
&might it be easier/better to write a primitve forum module from scratch?

Pls bear in mind SQL and PHP are not my strong suit (yet anyway!)

Thanks,

Resizing image on teaser

Right now I am using CCK and contemplate for creating custom pages. Throughout the articles I have been inserting images via image assist. The pages are coming out great but my problem comes with the teaser. I'm wanting the teaser to take my first image and resize it into a thumbnail. Is there any way that I can do this?
