Post installation

When I print any page from our site, the images that make up the header/banner layout do not print. Its a ghostly empty area where once my images did dwell. Whence did they go, and how?

I can see this also in the print preview options of most browsers. I am using a customized Blue Marine theme where I inserted jpg files as backgrounds in their respective DIV tags. Is this the issue or is it something else? Is this why I see most header images in the .png format and how might I make them?

Your help, thine Drupal community, is, as was always, appreciated!

Hello, I'm just getting started with Drupal and have one problem I haven't been able to figure out in the last three weeks.

I have a webserver that I want to refer to by it's computer name and not by it's webiste name (www.dnsname.com). With the way drupal is currently setup I cannot view the site correctly without changing the $base_url to the computer name. I don't want to have to switch it every time.

Looking through the forum there are appears to be an ongoing issue with teasers and nodes that have php code:

http://drupal.org/node/22040
http://drupal.org/node/18836

At this point in Drupal 4.6.x, it appears that the use of teasers with php nodes is still disabled. To get around this, I have disabled the php teaser filter in the node.module by commenting it out, and wonder if this was an advisable thing to do:

<pre>
// We check for the presence of the PHP evaluator filter in the current                  
  // format. If the body contains PHP code, we do not split it up to prevent               
  // parse errors.                                                                         
//  if (isset($format)) {                                                                  
//    $filters = filter_list_format($format);                                              
//    if (isset($filters['filter/1']) && strpos($body, '<?') !== false) {                  
//      return $body;                                                                      
//    }                                                                                    
//  }     
</pre>

I seldom use teaser with nodes that have php in them (most of the php I use in nodes calls Adsense includes). But need to use teasers to occasionally remove large chunks of preformatted code from front pages.

Whenever a node is edited, the node author is updated to that of the current user (i.e. the one doing the editing.)

My application depends on preserving the original node author (i.e. original submitter.) Is there a way to prevent or change this behavior?

Thanks!

I am designing a drupal site for a client of mine and i need to change the text of some of the things like form legends, buttons, etc.

It is a bilingual site (EN,FR) - EN being the default.

I am new to the locale module but thought it should be able to help me here.

in the user.module (for example) i have code like: $output .= form_submit(t('Log in'));

and i would like to change the "Log in" text to something else (and of course add a FR string as well)

it seems like i should be able to use locale and just add a string for the EN but i dont think it lets me. In other words i will need to hack the module and change the text of "Log In" there (and then possbily import the new keys for locale (not sure) - which i have no problem doing .. but does seem silly when there is a perfectly good web interface (locale) to let me do it.

Am I simply doing something wrong here? Or perhaps there is another method to do what i am trying to do.

and.. of course if i do understand this correctly.. and i think i do get how the locale module works... why would, this feature not be there.? .. especailly since it seems like it would almost be simpler to have than to not have it.. code wise

i guess what i am suggesting...

- .module elements have there default string values
- those strings ("log in" in my example) are the keys that locale module uses
- i can assign any number of language alternatives to that key (including the default language)

What I'd like to do is...

Pull a list that looks like this:

Date - Event title

The date would not be linked to the event's details, but the event title would.

Right now we're manually adding the date to the beginning of every event's name. It would be nice to have it done automatically, as not everyone who posts events notices the item at the top that specifically tells how to name the event.
