Post installation

Whenever I make a change to configuration options, like disabling and re-enabling a module, the messages don't disappear. They stay there until I log out. Now, this is the third time i've installed Drupal and I've never seen this problem before on any of the other installs. I was in a bit of a hurry, so I must have configured something wrong.

I would like to be able to put a newsletter subscription checkbox on the main user profile registration form, so that a new user could sign up for the newsletter during the site registration process. I use Simplenews. Is this possible, or is there another newsletter module which allows this integration? I'd rather they not have to go through a separate process to subscribe.

Hello to all,

Sorry if this is a long post! Spent days searching on forums and handbooks, both with drupal's search feature and using google.

I've been having very bad nightmares recently with my site and after several 16 hour workdays, a migration from a shared hosting environment to a dedicated server and upgrading of all software packages on the server side to their latest versions. The only thing that has not the latest release installed is mysql.

We're using drupal 4.6.6 with mysql 4.1 and php 4.4.2 on a site with approx 300 taxonomy terms, 5 vocabularies and about 2000 nodes so far. It might be one of the modules I was using, since the site was originally implemented using 4.6.3 and then upgraded to the next versions.

What seems to be lagging is the mysql server. The site is hosted on a dedicated server, along with some other drupal sites which use minimal resources (seperate installations). The server runs on Redhat enterprise 3 and is manageable via a plesk control panel. I haven't got enough experience to ssh into the server and alter the mysql configuration, but my hosting's support is helpful and can make any alterations required.

The homepage has proven to be one of the heaviest pages. It runs one query and prints the 30 latest results it finds from the node table. Also all categories and nodes have an automatic path created for them through pathauto. There was an isssue about the pathauto module slowing the server and I installed a patched version which was supposed to fix that in 4.6.6.

I think this may have something to do with the settings.php of my site,
But I'd like drupal to recognise mysite.com as the same site as www.mysite.com.

The reason is, the site directory is passworded, so I get prompted for a password twice if I change from www.mysite.com to mysite.com even though they are actually the same place and I'd like to only have to input this password once.

Hi,

I'm using the recent blocks module to display recent forum posts and comments. I like this, but now I would like to add support for multiple languages with the locale module.

Does anyone know if I can use different titles for these customized recent blocks for different language settings?

Thanks,
duvelman.

Hi all. On my front page, I've got one node that is always going to stay at the top of the page, so I've made it published, promoted to front page, and sticky. Now, I have other items that I want to show up on the front page, below the sticky, so they are marked published and promoted.

Is there any way I can add some text between the sticky nodes and the rest of the promoted nodes? I'm wanting to use the regular promoted nodes as site news so I'd like to add the word 'News' between the sticky node and the regular promoted nodes.
