Post installation

I am brand new to Drupal. I just installed on a new site. When I login as the administrator, I have problems when I go to the Themes and Modules pages. On both pages, I get some text at the very top of the page that doesn't make sense. The Themes page looks like this at the top:

vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl vti_author:SR|ezfiler vti_modifiedby:SR|ezfiler vti_timelastmodified:TR|29 Nov 2004 18:21:28 -0000 vti_timecreated:TR|29 Nov 2004 18:18:56 -0000 vti_extenderversion:SR|5.0.2.2623 vti_backlinkinfo:VX| vti_nexttolasttimemodified:TR|29 Nov 2004 18:18:56 -0000 vti_cacheddtm:TX|29 Nov 2004 18:18:56 -0000 vti_filesize:IR|8039 vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl vti_author:SR|ezfiler vti_modifiedby:SR|ezfiler vti_timelastmodified:TR|29 Nov 2004 18:21:28 -0000 vti_timecreated:TR|29 Nov 2004 18:18:55 -0000 vti_extenderversion:SR|5.0.2.2623 vti_backlinkinfo:VX| vti_nexttolasttimemodified:TR|29 Nov 2004 18:18:55 -0000 vti_cacheddtm:TX|29 Nov 2004 18:18:55 -0000 vti_filesize:IR|4757

Then, in the list of available themes, I get wierd stuff too:

bluemarine
themes/bluemarine

_vti_cnf
themes/bluemarine/_vti_cnf

The themes "_vti_cnf" shows up after each valid theme. If I change from the Bluemarine theme to any other, the bluemarine is no longer listed on this page, only chameleon and marvin.

When I go to the Modules page, I get a ton of text at the top of the page, like I do on the theme page, but tons more of it and it looks the same. Also, I get the list of available modules and the entire list is repeated again, so each module shows up twice.

I have a request from one of my users who wants to have a 30 character password. Is this easy to change or is it a limitation of Drupal/MySQL? What determines that max length of a password field in Drupal?

Just a couple suggestions, unless there's a module already that can do this:

When managing content, is there a way to easily select all on the screen? Most of the time, when you have a long list of selectable items there is a check box above the list that will select-all.

I know there has been some discussion of problems with outgoing emails generated by Drupal. I've searched around the forum and I don't think that my problem fits those previously discussed. It also may not be a problem so much as the result of my poor PHP knowledge.

Anyway, I'm basically able to send using mail() in user.module just fine. The only problem has to do with terminating the MIME encoding information before the address headers ($headers) are returned. I'm unable to place a \n at the end of the first string or at the beginning of the $headers string (messages are either not sent or received by servers), with the result that the first part of $headers (From:, in my case) remains on the same line as the "...-encoding: 8bit", like this:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BitFrom: thomas@mydomain.com

The result is that the actual From: address attached to the email is the generic server setting from php.ini. Ugly and midleading.

So here are the relevant lines in my user.module:

return mail($mail, mime_header_encode($subject), str_replace("\n", '', $message), "MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed\nContent-transfer-encoding: 8Bit" . $headers);

and

$headers = "From: $from\nReply-to: $from\nX-Mailer: Drupal\nReturn-path: $from\nErrors-to: $from";

The bottom line question, I think, is why are messages with a \n at the start or end of a string rejected?

I just installed taxonomy_dhtml and I really like it.

However, when listing parent categories it lists groups as:

http://localhost/taxonomy/term/1,2,3,4

and I'd like to change it to

http://localhost/taxonomy/term/1+2+3+4

I looked through the code and it was a little scary, I thought I'd ask first. ;)
Anybody know where to change this?

Thanks,

I know that I have been reading this but I can't find it again. I would like to "Add new field" for the users - a picture.

That isn´t included in 4.5 but I have seen some patch or something
