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

Drupal Theme Generator 3.02 not compatible with 4.7.2 ?

I have my website up and running for the most part, but the standard themes look too generic and "standard" I think.

I started looking into other ways to spiff up the site and make it look "non generic" and I decided that since theme authors wanted between $200-$1000 for a hobby site it was too expensive.

I downloaded, and got something not too terrible from working with the Theme Generator from www.xlecom.com, but it does not seem compatible with 4.7.

I think this is a bug, but maybe it is by design... url alias and referencing

I have a url alias for a page of:

Subject1/DetailPage1

I have many of these, something like:

Subject1/DetailPage1
Subject1/DetailPage2
Subject1/DetailPage3
..
Subject1/DetailPage35

I have other, equal levels, with similar structures

Subject2/DetailPage1
Subject2/DetailPage2
Subject2/DetailPage3
..
Subject2/DetailPage17

I want to put a link on one of the pages in Subject1 which links to Subject2/DetailPage3

If I code the link as: <a href="Subject2/DetailPage3">Test</a> then Drupal shows my link at the bottom of the page, when I hover over it, as http://www.mydomain.com/rewritebase/Subject1/Subject2/DetailPage3

Note the addition of the "Subject1" reference where it is not desirable. The rewritebase is just fine. That is, the link that would work would be http://www.mydomain.com/rewritebase/Subject2/DetailPage3

I've tried setting my link as <a href="/Subject2/DetailPage3">Test</a> (note the addition of the slash at the beginning of the reference) but that link shows up at the bottom of the page without my rewrite base as: http://www.mydomain.com/Subject2/DetailPage3, so this won't get me where I'm trying to go, either.

This seems like a but to me, in that I have coded my link as "Subject2/DetailPage3" on a page that has an alias of "Subject1/DetailPage10" and I would never expect "Subject1" to find its way into the final link.

Show login block after logging in

Drupal 4.6.5

I have configured Drupal to display a single block to users - the login block. Once a user has logged in, the login block disappears. What I would like to do is continue to display that block but replace the username and password text boxes with some text such as "Logged in as: johnsmith" and a "Logout" button.

I found the following code in another topic:

Image.module original link on medium res image

I'm using image.module on my site. Here is an example of a node: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/volkswagen_coach

There is a link below the image that gives you the full size image (original size) that image module creates.

I would like to have the same link to be added to the image itself too, so readers would be able to click on the image to get the original image size rather than click the link below the image. How should I modify the image.module to achieve this?

Cache troubles

Another topic - might be very seriouse bug. In cache module (and even without)
To reproduce in 4.7:
a) With cache on
1) Enable localization and change default language to localized, after
it disable english.
2) Enable caching with 1-2 minutes reload time
3) Load server with more then 1000 rps
4) Pages appears with wrong BOM and unrendable for any browser

Image strategy - some help?

Hello everyone,

I'm having some problems designing a strategy for handling images on our site (Drupal 4.6), and I'm hoping some of you who have been down this road already might lend some insight from your experience. This is what I want to do (but can't seem to figure out how):

1. Give each user their own private image gallery (to show on their profile page)

  • Problem: image module apparently used to provide personal galleries, but no longer does. I thought about creating a module to automatically add new usernames to the gallery vocabulary structure, and automatically set proper permissions using the taxonomy access module, but with thousands of users, the taxonomy permission page would be huge. Looked at acidfree a little, but don't seem to see an easy way to resolve this with that module either.

2. Allow users to insert inline images into their posts(forums, blogs)

  • I'm thinking that images a user wants to include in a post should be stored in that users personal gallery. If so, solving the prior problem would be a prerequisite. Would you agree, or is another solution recommended?

3. Allow administrators to insert images (ilustrations) into their posts (articles)

  • Right now we're using image.module and image_assist to do this. The problem is that we've got all the images in the same gallery, which is becoming unwieldly. We'd also like to keep these images somewhere where they are not browseable by the public. That means some galleries need to be private, and others public. Any suggestions on best practices or how to achieve this?
