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

Alternating colors in forum rows

OK i see in the CSS the following :-

tr.odd td, tr.even td {
padding: 0.3em;
}

So i seperated those and added color to the re.even.td element but although it worked to a fashion it didn't handle all of the forums.

So am i missing something here or is it all hard coded ? I see here at drupal.org that the cells are indeed alternating.

Any guidiance would be appreciated .

authored by vs. submitted by

I want to be able to distinguish between an authored article vs. who submitted it to the CMS? How can one do that?

How to send email to all users

I need for a few users to be able to end email all users of a drupal site. I am running on a Linux server. Is there a way to do this (either through Drupal or outside of it) without having to manually maintain a list of email addresses? I've seen a few modules that do this, but have stopped development due to the release of Drupal 4.7.

Ideas??

"Out of memory" error after 4.7 install (problem solved)

You've installed 4.7, and now when you access a node you see a lengthy red error message, saying you're "out of memory."

This issue is reported and solved at node/60979. (Thank you, theque.)

Cause: wrong setting in your MySQL settings file ("my.ini" or "my.cfn").

Solution:

Edit your mysql settings file my.ini / my.cnf and set sort buffer size to 128k or 256k

sort_buffer_size = 256K

Year of Date selection element

Hello,

I want to use a date selection element to get the reader's date of birth. I would like the YEAR select box to print dates up to 18 years ago (site is for over 18's only). How can I do this?

I do not want to hack forms.include, but it seems very specific about what range of dates it prints.

thanks in advance....

Validation of form elements for non developers

I searched a lot on Drupal and search engines to find a way to do validation (client side or server side) of form elements. The scenario is I have a contact form http://www.phillips-fit.co.uk/what-to-do-now/contactme and I want to make sure that the user enters the same e-mail address in the 'e-mail' and 'confirm e-mail' field. I am not sure how it can be done. This site is using 4.6 and the survey module for the form.
