Post installation

Hi everyone.

Very soon I will be undertaking another custom theming of Drupal and this project will focus heavily on the Gallery portion of the site.

I have done a little research into both Gallery2 and plain old image_module, and I am still not sure which one I want to try to customize. Most of my changes will be theme-related, though I will definitely be altering some PHP, no way around it. I am also aiming for a somewhat more daring and possibly even abstract theme, so I may have to push the boundaries of one of these modules in some regards.

I am considering changing the user login for a site so that the user can enter either their username OR their email address to login. The reason being that users who use a site irregularly can easily forget their username but are unlikely to forget their own email address.

I figured that if the username field contained an @ then it could be construed as an email address and the user table would be searched using email as the key instead of username. Every where else, the display of username would remain as is.

Drupal 4.7
Debian-sarge, Apache2-worker
PHP 4.3.10-16, via FastCGI

I just switched from mod_php4 to PHP/fastCGI (smaller memory footprint and seems nearly 2x as fast for my config). I'm guessing I've got some kind of mime problem, but can't sort it out.

I've spent all my afternoon trying to get Drupal to work with Gallery2.

I just upgraded to 4.7.1. I can't access my "settings" in the admin area. All other admin area links work, except for "settings". When I click on the "settings" link I get a download prompt for the settings file. This is what the downloaded file contains:

I'm having two problems with the 4.6 RSS Feed. One is that the date appearing in the "PubDate" tags is not the date that the article was approved by the moderators (as it is on the site itself), but rather the date the article was originally submitted. How do I make it the date the article was approved?

Two, when I post an article on the site and set it to only be visible to certain users, it still appears in the RSS feed, which defeats the whole point of making it exclusive. How can I make the RSS feed not show articles that are supposed to be invisible to anonymous users?
