Post installation

For example if I'm in the forum, and i want to post a comment, i need to login - after logging in, i am taken to my user profile, instead of back where i started. In this case the forum.

Is there anyway for me to get the data regarding where i've been? My last page was this page with such and such a url ? Or any type of similar information?

A common example is like the one above, if I logged in at forums, i'd want to return to forums after logging in. I haven't seen anything with drupal that lets me think i can do that, so i'm starting with baby steps ;-)

Thanks!

Hey y'all,

I'm new to Drupal (like 1 hour ago) but I already set up a site successfully, I'm very impressed by this piece of software. So - Thank you (developers) in the first place!

Now, I searched the site for an answer to my question and found nothing. Hope you can help me...

I'm setting up a site where all members are allowed to post a link every week (1 -and only one- per week, with a deadline).
The best way to do this is allow members to post a comment to a story in my view.

Currently the way I install modules it to download them to my local machine, upload to my hosted server, gunzip, un-tar, etc. I could probably use wget to simplify a little bit.

What I'd really like is a page in the administration console that would allow me to download modules directly via the admin console on any of my drupal sites. E.g. it would show me the list of available modules for my version of drupal (kind of like rpm services for linux...), allow me to click on any I want, and download, unzip, and un-tar them into my modules directory.

Hey,

Just curious if it's possible to run Drupal with two sites with the same install (obviously on the same server). And if so, how do I go about doing it?

Thanks!

Hi!

I'm looking to setup a site for my High School Alumni Association. From looking through the forum and mailing list archives, it appears this is most definitely not a new topic, however many of these posts seem to be "how do I go about this?" versus some of the more technical aspects I'd like to solidify.

Part of my problem, although I know PHP and CSS/HTML, is that I also know and love assembly language and the low-level operations of computers, so trying to immerse myself in a high-level environment such as drupal leaves me trying to almost naturally trying to reinvent the wheel at every opportunity (which I know I shouldn't be, hence my post to this forum).

Anyway, I've been looking at Drupal for the past couple of weeks, and I've gone ahead and installed and have been configuring it to figure out how to pull this off. I installed version 4.7.0.. as well as several modules that seem to be compatible with my aims for an alumni site (the taxonomy / category / organic groups sort of stuff).

What I am asking you all, however, is advice/strategy for tackling the following:

My alumni association currently has an offline database (stored in an off-line DOS-based database program). I have played with various export formats from this database and I have been able to read it, so it shouldn't be that hard on my part to get it stored into a MySQL database.

The issue that comes to mind is the database itself. The database obviously contains alumni data-- graduation class year, name, address, etc. and part of what I need to rig up include the following functionalities:

Hello all,

Starting using Drupal and I’m liking it! I looked at the boards but was not able to search my questions accurately. I was wondering how I can have users post a pre formatted page(a business plan) to my web site (name, address, business idea …etc). I guess I can create a type of form which will guide them and make them enter the info. But would this info be their profile? I just want the users to be able to post 1 plan and no other. They should be able to go and change the plan in the future.

What would be the methodology? How do I create a form like that?
