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

blank site, white pages

Hello, I was just about to pose a question when I found what I thought might be the solution, so I thought I'd try it before troubling the forum... but it destroyed my site!

here's the culprit: http://drupal.org/node/58861

How to mail to recent members only?

Hi all,

I'm having great fun in building a community with drupal.. now I have a little problem, in the sense that I would like to email all my newest members each week to welcome them to the site etc...

How can I do that?? Any ideas which functions, modules I should use?

Thanks

webform (v4.7.x) problem ;( Help

Hello,
I am really pleased with my new Drupal installation, but am having problems with the webform module ;(

On the modules page here I downloaded webform (4.6.) which was linked under the webform link I got through the 4.7. filter.
I was a little confused, so I did it twice with the same result.
Since I am a bloody young drupal fellow, i thought that maybe the module version num doesn't have anything to do with the drupal version and installed it (incl. the tables needed using phpMyAdmin).
Since it didn't work I checked again and after clicking "view other releases" I found the 4.7. version which funily enough isn't marked as latest version (after a bunch of rtfm I know why, but it is a bit confusing ;))

Anyways, I then deleted all the webform tables out of my drupal DB. Same was done to the 4.6. module parts .

Then I uploaded the 4.7. version into my modules Folder and activated the module.

Everything looked like it was working fine until I submitted my first form, which came up with this:

* user warning: Table 'drpl_4_7_2.webform' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM webform WHERE nid = 1 in /var/www/vhosts/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de/httpdocs/html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

* user warning: Table 'drpl_4_7_2.webform_component' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM webform_component WHERE nid = 1 ORDER BY weight, name in /var/www/vhosts/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.de/httpdocs/html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

forms: howto automatically fill some fields based on the selection in a dropdown box

Hi,

I have the impression that the following should be easy with the forms API, but I can't directly find the best way to do this:

I have a certain form and I would like to automatically fill in some fields if a certain select field has changed.

In my case the purpose would be different, but I guess a typical example woud be that once a user selects his name from a drop down box, you look up in the database what you know about her/him and fill in the necessary fields (you may not have all the info though).

.htaccess issue

Howdy Folks:

Trying to get the CLean URLs to work and getting the following error:

Not Found
The requested URL /drupal-4.7.1/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.36 Server at ls401.acenet.net Port 80

Assuming I'm pointing something to the wrong place. Here's my code. Could someone please take a quick glance and let me know what I'm doing incorrect? THANKS

image handling in 4.7 has returned to bad old days

i remember the way images used to be handled in Drupal, a couple of years ago (the bad old days). it was hideous, a nightmare. images caused more grief than anything else. and then, the update to 4.5 or such (i forget the number), images suddenly became a joy! you didn't even need the image module; just ftp your image to the files directory and use a basic img tag. viola, picture in your node & bob's yer uncle.
