Post installation

I'm using 4.6 and have tried both the release version and the latest files in CVS for Delicious and can't get a block to show up (just using basic Bluemarine theme). When I run Cron it will fetch the links for the admin user so I can see the database being populated; but no block (which I have enabled in the blocks admin)... anyone else know this problem and have a solution?

This is frustrating since I know this module works and haven't found any good info on the drupal site for solving this particular problem.

I am trying to decide between building 10 to 20 small sites versus 1 big site. I am assuming 10 sites with 2000 users each will be significantly faster than 1 site with 20,000 users. Is that correct?

I've read that Drupal can slow down a lot when the number of users gets large, the number of groups gets large, and with using flexinode. (I'm planning to have no or few images.) I haven't seen any metrics to say what large is. Is it 2000 users? 20,000? 200,000?

I am using Drupal 4.6 civicspace hosted with opensourcehost (who has been very good).

Let's just say the website is for programmers who are looking for jobs. (not the actual case.) I could have one site for all programmers looking for jobs in the entire U.S. Or I could have 10 sites (one San Fran, one LA, one New York, etc.) Each programmer by default would be in the site for the city where s/he is living. If a programmer wants to, s/he could join the site for another city.

I plan to charge for membership to each site. The beauty of having 10 sites is that it considerably reduces my access control problem.

However, right now I want to make sure that I am right in terms of speed. Also, would the 10 different sites need to be on different servers? If I have 10 very busy sites on the same server, is it not much better than having 1 site?

I've read the nodes 34046 (and the 4 nodes listed there), 39807, and other threads. I'm not a hosting resller.

For those who have been following my recent posts and those who will be reading this into the future i have needed to achieve the following and as of today I have.

I had one portal (SiteA) on domain sitea.com for the purpose of this write up.

SiteA has many different taxonomy terms such as "taxonomy/term/27" which is linked to forums, stories etc relating to Product1 which has its own website (SiteB) at product1.com

SiteA also has the same setup , with taxonomies for ProductB ProductC etc.

No my dilema was having all the content on SiteA but only product Specific Info on the Product Sites.

A requirement was also single login.....

So after many late nights, playing with rss feeds, FOAF.module and seperate databases etc I have come back to the following..........

Drupal has a wonderful multisite function, where you can use a single database and database prefixing which I have done....I have setup the following prefixing in my settings.php for SiteB(The first product Site)
$db_prefix = 'prod1_'
$db_prefix = array(
'default' => '',
'users' => '',
'sessions' => '',
'role' => 'prod1_',
'authmap' => '',
'sequences' => '',
'menu' => 'prod1_',
'node_access' => 'prod1_',
'access' => 'prod1_',
'accesslog' => 'prod1_',
'term_access_defaults' => 'prod1_',
'term_access' => 'prod1_',

Man, I think we need a separate forum topic just for media management. So, I've managed to get inline to work just fine, but I'm still getting broken images when using the img_assist module. Any thoughts on why that'd be? I checked the permissions of the folder, and they're all read-friendly. The site is www.remtheory.com.

Thank you!

The latest version of word includes the ability to define xml schema to apply to content when saving as xml. I believe this can also be done with open office's writer. This makes using these word processors for content creation more of a reality, especially with some good xml import export modules and functions in Drupal.

I know there's a users online block, but is there a script that can have an image that shows that the user is currently online in their profile and in the user search, like on myspace.com?
