Post installation

Here's an interesting question...is it easily possible within Drupal to override an existing URL? I know that I could do this with, say, .htaccess, but that option isn't open to everybody, and it's a manual operation besides. The admin has to enter the redirect information.

Let's give a specific example.

Let's say I don't like, for whatever reason, how the taxonomy lists work. These aren't themable, and I want to override them with my own function.

We want to make it possible to submit series of images into the gallery so that there will be 'previous' and 'next' links when they are viewed. One possible approach is to use taxonomy terms for that, but authenticated users should be able to create those terms without having full administration privileges on taxonomy, and also other users shouldn't be able to submit images with those terms (might be tricky). Books could be used but they are not integrated with the gallery, and they are collaborative by nature as I understood. So maybe a kind of multi-image node would be better?

I use sites that allow me to "blog this" and it asks for a xmlrpc api.

I set up Blogapi in drupal for moveable type.

When i set this up on the other site, it doesnt work. i get this error

There was an error posting your item - server error. requested function Array does not exist.

anyone have any idea whats going on? or can anyone suggest a good external posting program app or service?

Hi Guys,

Firstly, I installed the module on Drupal 4.6.0 - it appears to talk OK to my the Unix accounts entries in my Openldap directory OK. Firstly, will upgrading Drupal to 4.6.3 make the module work any better?

Anyway, I can modify the selected LDAP entries fine. I am mapping the user's ldap uid attribute eg. mtrainer to the drupal login name and the ldap userPassword attribute to the Drupal password. My user entries in the LDAP directory (excluding lots of less important attributes) are in the form below:

dn: uid=mtrainer,ou=users,dc=xxxxxx,dc=net
uid: mtrainer
userPassword:: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
mail: mtrainer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
sn: Trainer
cn: Murray Trainer
mobile: 999 999 999
telephoneNumber: +999 9999 999
o: XXXXXXXXXX
ou:: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
userPassword:: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
sambaLMPassword: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
sambaNTPassword: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
uidNumber: 500
.
.

My problem is the Drupal Account Settings page under the My Account / Edit. I don't want user's to change their userid, password, or e-mail address via Drupal as that will break their e-mail client setup. Also their password is stored in 3 formats as shown below so changing them in the will put things out of sync. In anycase when I try to resave the entries retrieved for the user on the same screen it gives an error like the e-mail address already exists (or is already taken). Of course it does - it's mine? Unless my config is wrong, I will probably have to hack Drupal code to remove the fields I don't want edited :-(

How do I make sure that my site is easily accessible by those with visual impairments?

Obviously I need to do things like use contrasting colours, not too small text, and alt tags for images, but is there a way of generating a text only version of a Drupal site?

Cheers.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting my head around flexinode and I really appreciate any help I can get understanding this.

My drupal terminology may not be precise, so I apologize in advance.

Previsously I wanted to use stories and have my users submit stories to the various categories I have created.
