I want to know if there is a way i can use Drupal to build a custom reporing interface for a MySQL database. I will appreciate any response to this effect.
It seems to me that excerpt and cck don't work together.
When I create a new content (of a type created with cck) instead of the teaser i always get the fthe whole text of the node, no matter what I put in the "excerpt" field.
I checked administer >> settings >> content types >> type >> manual excerpt ; it looks ok but it doeesn't work.
I have written my first module. It is a knockoff of the multi-page Forms API working example. I enabled it in Administer->Settings and all seems well.
That module has created a new Content type. When I create a "new" version of this by going to Content=>Create Content=>NewContentType it creates a new node patterned after the NewContentType.
I downloaded the tinymce and put it inside the tinymce directory and then uploaded it to my modules directory (*grin* I just liked saying it like that). But I get this error when loading the admin/modules page:
* warning: drupal_load(./modules/tinymce/tinymce.module): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /homepages/drupal-4.7.0/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 484.
