Post installation

Hello,

I have managed to get Drupal installed and working. I had trouble getting it to email new users with their username and password, but have now got it working. I installed XAMPP and I am using Mecury/32 as my mail server.

The problem is with the email that I am sending to new users.
The "from" field is blank and I am not sure how to fill it in.

Emails are being sent via the Mercury SMTP Server. I had to supporess the from address field to get it to even send the email.

I'm using the profile module to create a bunch of custom fields for user registration and was wondering if there was a way to set default values for some of the fields, like making a checkbox checked or auto-selecting a value in a drop-down. Also, for a date field is it possible to have it default to nothing (since I am using it as an optional date of birth field and don't want it defaulting to the current date if the user doesn't want to enter a value)?

Hi there - I wonder if anyone can help me.

Im creating a resource section. This resource section contains various "modules". Each "module" contains a bit of blurb followed by various files associated with the "module".

So the node should look like this:

Blurb: blah blah blah
Lesson 1: worksheet.psd
lesson plan.psd
lesson chart.psd
Lesson 2: worksheet.psd
worksheet.psd
lesson plan.psd
lesson chart.psd

Hi all,

I´m testing my future upgrade to drupal 4.7 but I´m having problems with views module. First, I have views module activated in 4.6. When running the update.php script, it upgraded in some form the views module but it didn´t work correctly (I was unnable to add more than the defined views). So I dropped the views dir at the modules section, and removed the 8 db tables related to the module.

Hi together,

i am working on a website and just started to work with drupal...

Is there a module which designes a parallel page in another language...for example german-english?
I heard of such tools, but i am not sure if drupal is able, too.

I'd be glad for help on this...thanks!!!

The menu module has a configuration option like this:

The menu module allows on-the-fly creation of menu links in the post authoring forms. The following option limits the menus in which a new link may be added. For e.g. this can be used to force new menu items to be created in the primary links menu or to hide admin menu items.
