Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

Running a news section

Hi all,

What is the best way to run a news section on my site using drupal, to go with the story or blog content. The problem I think with the blog option is that only a particular user will be able to access their own particular blog.

Please could I get your suggestions.

Thanks

When adding a user: "Illegal mix of collations" sql error accessing table profile_fields

When using CivicSpace 0.8.2 (Drupal 4.6.3), when I manually added a user, I got the error:

user error: Illegal mix of collations 
(latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE)  
for operation '='
query: SELECT * FROM profile_fields 
WHERE LOWER(category) = LOWER('account') 
ORDER BY weight 
in /<homedir>/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

But the account did get created successfully. Is anybody else seeing this?

email... and a lack of it...

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way for me to disable usage of email from drupal... I don't have an email server available to me... full stop... don't suggest to me the use of a third party server... I don't have access to one, end of story >_>

Is there a way to change drupal such that a user creates a password during registration and they are not emailed? If not then I recommend it as a feature for a future release... not everyone has access to mail servers...

any help welcomed :D

Frustration with taxonomy context

I am trying to get the term description to appear on the term page. Taxo_context is enabled, term and sub term display is also enabled and a vocabulary has been chosen. The description still refuses to show.

I have tested in IE also to rule out a browser issue, emptied the drupal cache, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Links in blocks to open in new window

Hello,

I can´t find any way to make URL´s in blocks open in a new window. I´ve added the old "target=_blank" after the path you type in the block configuration page and nothing happens. I used the same method to make the primary links open in a new window and that worked.

This must be used be many and seem trivial to many so could somebody give me a litle hint!?

It would be best if there was an option to make the links open in a new window or not in the block configuration page itself.

best regards, Logi
