Post installation

The problem I am having is this.

I am trying to move my site to a new host and at the same time upgrade to 4.7.0 (when it is ready)
I have a 14mb database which is hell to transfer reliably via phpMyAdmin.

I do not have Telnet/SSH access to my webserver.
The techs at the new host will however load database for me if asked but I would like to somehow get around that.

Is it possible to use some mySQL magic to "synchronize" two remote databases?

Does anyone know if some third party software is available to do that?
Can drupal do that?

Hi,

I'm new to Drupal and currently creating a new website using Drupal.
I already have a design for this site. The problem is that its a very small design (something like 500x500 pixels) and its not very suitable for an administration panel. Is there a way to have different themes for the website and the administration panel ?

Thanks.

I've searched and can't find a reference, but if I try to use &type=flexinode-1 with node_type_filter, it does exactly as expected with the main content, but completely breaks the random quote block (returns 0 rows for a result). I have been through the quotes.module code and can't find the problem -- even after commenting out successive blocks of code.

Has anyone run into this and can it be fixed?

I have attempted to use a php include in a drupal block, but I'm getting unexpected results.

The script is supposed to calculate islamic prayer times for Norwich, England. And, when used on its own, it functions perfectly:

But as an include, the times change for no apparent reason. See block on the left of main page:

I recently installed Drupal 4.6.5, and have quickly become smitten with its modularity. I'm trying to post "story" nodes using Ecto over XMLRPC.

I have my admin account for managing the site, and then a less privileged user account for the actual posting/editing. I have installed and activated the blogapi module, and have tried all 3 engines even though from reading other nodes in the Handbook it doesn't seem there is any difference in functionality/capability. I created a new user role solely for this account, and have given that role permissions to literally everything on the "Access controls" page. I don't know if in theory that makes it equal to the admin account or not.

If I set up ecto (Marsedit behaves exactly the same) to post as admin, it works perfectly for making a new story. If I set it up to post as my user, when it first tries to connect to the xmlrpc.php page, I get

"You are not authorized to access this page. A list of blogs could not be retrieved! Please verify the account you created."

I've checked a hundred times that the role is assigned to the user, that the user has all permissions available, etc. At this point I'm wondering if there is a less-obvious module or hidden permission I need to install/activate or if there is a basic conceptual issue I'm missing. I know the user/pass combination is valid, since when I go to the web page it has logged me in as the user even if I was on an admin page!

I have a series of fields setup for user profiles on a college site. These are:

Pathway
--Architecture
--Artefact
--Spatial

Stage
--Stage 1
--Stage 2
--Stage 3

A user would be classified with a selection from each of these (eg. Stage 1, Architecture or Stage 2, Artefact, etc). It is simple to select all the students who are in a specific Pathway (eg. /profile/profile_pathway/Architecture) or Stage (eg. /profile/profile_Stage/Stage 1).
