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

user names = email addresses..?

I'm curious, I couldn't find a way in the admin. Is it at all possible to make it so the "user names" are email addresses? and when they login they can custom/change their name to whatever they desire? Thanks in advance!

Can't hide Image Galleries in navigation

I use images only for certain content types and do not wish to host galleries on a particular site. I accidentally enabled "pictures" on the profile settings, and even after disabling it the Image Galleries link still shows on my nav tree. I can't seem to make it go away, nor can I delete its corresponding Vocabulary.

Hosting Torrents

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if there was anyway I could use Drupal to host (seed?) torrents of files I would like my users to download.

I would like to host large files on my site and avoid the bandwidth costs. So I figure if the files can be torrented (starting with the files on my server), I can minimize those costs.

Can Drupal do anything remotely like this. I did see one module for torrenting, but I would like to avoid getting third party sites involved.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Alex

Page.tpl.php preceded by strange characters in HTML output

Greetings,

I'm testing a Drupal 4.7 RC3 installation for a new site. Everything works fine except that all my HTML output starts with two strange characters which mess up my layout: ÿþÿþÿþ or "FF FE FF FE FF FE" when I view the pages in HEX mode. These characters are not part of page.php.tpl, but precede its contents. I can't figure out where they come from, but I really like them not to be there...

Allowing non-admin users to create unpublished items

Hi,

Sorry to ask a question that has already been asked, but I haven't managed to find a solution that works with the latest 4.7 yet, and am not sure I'm not actually missing something really obvious!!

Blocks on profile page

Using 4.6 here. I'm trying to create a block on the user profile page that shows the images that that specific user has posted, I can get it to work just fine showing up in the actual profile using the code below, but when I place it in a block, it won't show the pictures...the problem is with the line "$userid=$user->uid;" if I change "$user->uid;" to a specific user number, those will show up...but I'm at a loss how to pull the uid from the profile page currently being looked at to the block.

here's what works on the profile page, but not in a block on the profile page

My recently uploaded pictures&nbsp&nbsp(Upload a new image)


<?php
// Display N most recent thumbnails of images submitted by the user
// Each thumbnail is linked back to it's image node
// Can optional limit the photos shown by specififying one or taxonomy term id's
// The number of thumbnail images to show
$nlimit = 3;
$taxo_id = array();
// Add one line for each taxonomy term id you want to limit the thumbnails to
// As an example, the following two lines would select images associated with taxonomy terms 36 OR 37
// $taxo_id[] = 36;
// $taxo_id[] = 37;
// Note, if not taxonomy term ids are specified, the selection is from all the user submitted images
$userid=$user->uid;
if ( count($taxo_id) > 0 ) {
