If a user has a blog and wants a photo in their blog entry how would they do that? Would they have to use an external photo host like imagecloset.com or other similar service?

hey all,

I am developing a site on a shared server for a small non-profit oranization. I am mainly interested in Drupal's content management so the site owners can edit their own pages as they please. The volunteer admins of this organization need to be able to update their organization's membership directory; there needs to be a read-only publicly accessible membership directory; and the members need to be able to update their own database records, so there has to be an authentication system, forgotten password facility, etc. I already wrote all this way back in PHP3 days, so it's more than due for a full rewrite.

What is the best approach to combining your own PHP/MySQL stuff with a drupal site? I don't think i can use drupal's database as the backend for my custom stuff, nor its authentication.

it occurs to me that I can add drupal "pages" that just contain include "/my/includes/my_custom_stuff.inc" . But that seems very heavy-weight -- on one request, all the Drupal followed by all my own PEAR and Smarty and my own classes being loaded...

Or I could add links to drupal's menus that point to mysite.com/not-drupal/some_page.php and manually make some_page.php look like the rest of the site.

Or... ? suggestions? tips? advice?

Hope this makes sense -- though I've put in a number of hours learning my way around, I still have more RTFM to do, so thi

On this Drupal site a user can click on common interest in profile and see a list of all other user with the same interest. This work also with multiline text fields.

On my Drupal site this only work on a list selection field.

What going on?

Does anyone know a good theme to use for a site mainly focused on its forum use?
Are there any themes that create "threaded" forums?
I've looked through the list on the themes page, but I don't see any like I've described.

Any pointers on this would be great,
thankyou! :)

hi,

i've drupal 4.7b6 installed w/ Apache22x + PHP5.1.2 on OSX 10.4.5.

i'm using smarty-engine to theme my drupal site.

i'd like to now setup a series of front-pages, w/ different, non-drupal-theme, look-n-feel for anonymous users.

there seem to be a number of approaches to doing this ... the 2 most appropriate look like:

(1) Front Page module
(2) set up the front-pages as a separate Drupal site, e.g. www.mydomain.com, and registered-users content as a subdomain, e.g., reg.mydomain.com

The front-to-drupal-site layout i'd like is straightforward:

------------------------  ------------------------  ------------------------
| FrontPage #1         |  | Front Page #2        |  | Front Page #3        |
|   link: FrontPage #2 |  |   link: FrontPage #1 |  |   link: FrontPage #1 |
|   link: FrontPage #3 |  |   link: FrontPage #3 |  |   link: FrontPage #2 |
|   link: DrupalLogin  |  |   link: DrupalLogin  |  |   link: DrupalLogin  |
------------------------  ------------------------  ------------------------
