I´ve been reading a lot about Drupal applied to education.
DrupalED, funnymonkey, people using Drupal for their online/brick courses...
I must admit that DrupalEd confused me a bit. It seems like it is just a big forum where people share their thoughts and experiences, but I din´t see any new module or something to download. I´m sure I didn´t search correctely.

With all that material, I got very confused. There are a lot of information out there!

I started a log time ago with Moodle, and I liked it (it was a little confusing though).
But it has a BIG problem, at least to me: I needed to relate the time when each student entered a course with the course itself.

As English is not my mother´s tongue, I´m gonna try to make myself clear the better way possible :-)

We have 2 types of courses: On Line and "brick" ones.

On Line
- People can suscribe themselves when they want. There´s no enrollment dates.
- Each course consists on several modules, and each module has an individual test.
- There is a big test at the very end of the course.
- Each student "pass" each module, and get the next one, if and only if they approve each module´s individual test. Then, they get the next module and the next test, and so on, and on.
- A bunch of students can enter the course January 1st, and one "late" student can enter january 15th.
This last student have to be able to enter the same course and get the 1st module of that course (and just the first one), even if all the rest are reading the third.

I am trying to run drupal, mysql, apache and php from a cd, as a means for my customer to release snapshots of his CMS on a regular basis. This procedure means taking out the watchdog, stop the caching and the session variabling.

Hello

I a buddy of mine coded up this address book script and I want to integrate it into my current drupal site but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I just want to create a block and include this script call "alumni_view.php" to be within the current drupal design. I've tried using the include function and it gives me an error. If you have any idea please let me know. Thanks. :)

Ok, I need to modify my node-forum.tpl.php template and create a table, from some data added to the node in the nodeapi 'load' op. I understand how to do this, except for the actual creating of the table. Where is the usual location in a module that one would create an output string in order to pass it as a template variable? Is there an example of this somewhere?

Is it possible to turn OFF the ability for someone to create a new account in the sign in block? Just have sign in and request new password.

Hi all,

I have successfully changed the 'add to cart' text to a button using css but I would like to now try and style the text that reads 'Sold out' when a product is out of stock.

I am guessing that the product module code needs to be altered somewhere in the block below.

/**
* Define internal Drupal links
*
* This hook enables modules to add links to many parts of Drupal. Links
* may be added in nodes, in the global navigation bar, and in the main
* site navigation menu, for example.
*/
function product_link($type, $node = null, $teaser = false) {
$links = array();

if ($type == 'node' && $node->ptype) {
/* Determine whether or not the 'add to cart' link needs to be displayed. */
$item = cart_get_items();
if ($node->hide_cart_link == 0) {

/* Right here we need to check if a given product type is in stock */
if (module_invoke($node->ptype, 'productapi', $node, 'in_stock')) {
// Is it already in our cart?
if ($item[$node->nid]->qty) {
$links[] = t('This item is in your shopping cart.', array('%cart_view' => url('cart/view')));
}
else {
$links[] = l(t('ADD TO CART'), "cart/add/$node->nid", array('class' => 'addtocart', 'title' => t('Add this item to your shopping cart.')));
}
}
else {
$links[] = t('SOLD OUT');
