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

Quality XML output

I'm currently trying to use Drupal to generate the XML needed to be fed into a Flash frontend.

I'm new to the world of CMS and Drupal seemed to have everything in order, save for this one small task. In fact, Drupal has been so impressive thus far that I'm sure my problem is something that I'm overlooking...

What I will have
---------------

*I have a number of images, that will eventually be displayed in Flash in groups ("projects"). Each project has a small bit of associated blurb.

*There are two purely textual parts of the finished site that will be editable (though this bit doesn't present much of a problem).

Given Drupal's flexibility, there seem to be a number of ways in which I can organize my data. This is where things me well get a bit curious.

I have assigned the drupal image module a vocabulary and have structured my "projects" by adding terms to this vocabulary. When I want to upload a group of images belonging to a particular project I go "create content/images" then I associate the image with a particular term using the drop down menu.

I'm not sure if this is even close to how my data should be structured to achieve my desired result. Sorry to be somewhat verbose in my explanation, heaven forbid that I should leave anything out. Anyway...

This enabled me to use the RSS feed for each termin which I put a group of pictures. So half the job done...

w.bloggar question and input filters

Can you use w.bloggar to post other types of content beside blogs? Any help on this is much appreciated.

Also, when I have the "linebreak converter" input filter in effect, it creates and indent wherever there is a break. Is there a way to make sure it creates the break without an indent?

How do I change module caption?

I want to use book.module as a site FAQ. How do I change "Book" into "FAQ" in navigation menus?

New modules and memory problem

Hi All,

I keep getting this error for module after module:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 11520 bytes) in /www/htdocs/drupal/modules/over_text/over_text.module on line 94

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 137 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

If I try to remove the offending module, I get the same error in another.

Any suggestions?

I am running Apache with PHP and MySQL 4.1.7 on Redhat 9.0 (AMDAthlon/768M/SCSI 4G).

thanx,

-vijai.

Movie/Music/Book Reviews

I would like to add a 'Reviews' area to my website, www.apathycore.com. Right now it's mostly a blog and forum site.

I have seen the Book Review module, but that doesn't quite do what I want and hasn't been upgraded to Drupal 4.5.x. There is also a Review module out there which looks like it might come a little closer, but that's very old -- version 4.0 or 4.1 I think. I have also tried using Flexinode, but still can't get the results I desire. Let me spell out the features I'm looking for, and maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

Features:

A Description Page (or 'container') that will describe the item to be reviewed. This is pretty freeform, and I can do most of it with flexinode. It should have a place for text, images, links to buy the item, an overall (average) rating and a button or other control for users to add reviews. It should also contain a 'teaser' for each of the reviews for the item. It should look basically like a Drupal front page with the description information being sticky at the top and all the reviews below.

Individual Reviews are not much different than any other node. They should have a text body, a reference to the item being reviewed (probably taxonomy based) and a rating scale. The rating would probably be in a drop-down field and optimally be user-configurable, i.e. 1-5, 1-10, A-F, etc.

Different roles could have access to create each type. Admins or Priviledged users could create containers and Registered users can submit reviews.

How do I disable Clean URLs? (Modifying variable value in database doesn't work)

I'm trying to create a mirror of my production environment (Drupal 4.5 on Linux/Apache 1.3/PHP4) on my home machine (Drupal 4.5 on Win2K/Apache 1.3/PHP4). I've never been able to get mod_rewrite to work on the local system, so I always run my local Drupal test environments with clean URLs disabled.
