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

Theoretical and practical maximum sizes for a story body?

Hi All,

Idle thought.. is there an upper bound on the size of story bodies?
What is the main limiting factor? MySql? The PHP code? The forms on input page?

I don't have any pressing need to know, it's just the last half hour's futile searches have stoked my curiosity?

Cheers :-)

Giving "Points" for Content Creation

Gang,

I'm developing a community site where content contributors will assign themselves points based on the kind/quality/effort that went into the content. (I'll create a guideline and people will assign themselves points on an honor system. Points may eventually lead to perks or prizes but I'm not making big promises at the beginning.)

Structuring content with vocab, categories and nodes

I am using Drupal 4.7 for a site with a fair amount of content.

I have added Vocabulary with Terms (Categories) under each one. This means, for instance, a Vocabulary item called "Articles" with Terms "Author 1", "Author 2" and "Author 3".

Thus:

 Articles
- Author 1
- Author 2
- Author 3

I want to have a welcome page at thedomain.com/articles (using pathauto module) that gives an overview of what the articles area of the site is all about, and then lists the authors. Then the authors can be found at thedomain.com/articles/author-1, and so on.

However, there is no way to link to the 'Articles' page because it is not a category, but a main vocab item! I can link to the categories/terms that I add to that vocab item, but not to the main vocab itself. (At least as far as I can tell.)

There are many such sections with the same issue.

I checked out the "Index Pages" module, but that is for node types, not for main vocab items.

Is there any way to have some sort of index page (located at thedomain.com/vocab-name) for the main vocab items on a site?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Menu Visibility By Role

I want to know if there is a way to have menu's visible to only certain users based on the roles assigned. I was able to do somethign similar with blocks y adding php to it

global $user;
foreach ($user->roles as $rid => $name) {
  if ($rid == '2') {
    echo '<ul>
    <li><a href="https://google.com/">trial</a>
    </ul>';
  }
}

but this has to be done manually and its not a menu.

how would i go about making the menu visible to only certain roles.

How do you mix TinyMCE content and PHP content?

I would like to have a setup where I could use PHP to require a file I need (calendar) on certain pages, but the rest of the page would be editable with TinyMCE... As it is right now, php content on pages seems exclusive to TinyMCE content. Does anybody know of an easy way to implement this?

removing 'my account' link

I'm setting up a drupal powered site for a school and I'm changing a few things to lock the kids down a bit more. I'd like to remove the link to the 'my account' page for users, I don't want them to be able to edit their info. I found
