Post installation

What's the difference between a "text field" and a "text area" when creating content types in flexinode.

I'm currently running 4.6 but we'll be ugradign very soon, so let me know if the upgrade affects the answer, or the question. :P

Hi

i m running a website using drupal but i really dont like the whole concept of the built in forums and i m looking to embed phpbb forums in drupal even if it doesnt not uses the same database because i only want users to sign up on my forums instead of the whole website
can some one please help me how can i do all this or if it is possible

Thanks

...have got an older install of drupal that I, unforunately, don't have time to update right now. However if I could get the "code" tag working in the meantime, I'd be very happy.

Got it set to allow the tag, but it just doesn't do it. Doesn't matter if I select filtered html, or full html - still doesn't work. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

Here is a screenshot of my settings.

I've had an idea for a site that's been kicking around in my head for the past year or so. I've decided to give it a go with Drupal, but am having a trouble deciding how to organize the site and its content. Much of this trouble comes from the idea that it will scale from just me banging out articles to a large community site, with multiple contributers, information related to specific states, user editable content, and Organic Groups. And the kicker is, a large percentage of the target audience will have little or no computer experience.

The specific problem I have is organizing the foundations of the site. Say that I have articles in a particular vocabulary. Some of these articles are written to be informative pieces, but others are news articles that may not be relavent in a month. And many of these articles may be relavent to a specific state or region in America.

I started by creating several vocabularies, for each main section and the various subsections under it. To organize information by state, I created a new vocabulary with each state's name as a seperate term. The idea was to use the Views module to pull this information out in various ways. Is this the correct way to do this? How do I handle news articles that would also fit into a certain vocabulary or state? Create a vocabulary called "Site" with terms like "article" and "news"? Or should I just use the CCK to make new content types, with the relevant states as a custom field? And how would I associate articles pertinent to a specific state to an Organic Group related to the state?

I want to add some extra information to the search page (/search/node) to explain to the users how the search is working. Would I be able to do this?

I prefer the information just below the title, before the tabs.

Thanx in advance (I'm using 4.7)

Hi there!
I´ve installed the Private Message Module and asked there (opened an issue) of how to Allow sending option according to role.

I need to create a node viewable only by the recipient (as in profile), but I don´t want that user to be able to edit that note, nor to send an email back to the administer.
