Fix for Upload Module popup problem

Hi.

If any of you are having problems with the Upload module popup, whilst using IE (but not say Firefox etc.), there's a simple fix for it:

in upload.module, line 182 -
change $url = url("upload");
to
$url = url ("http://yourdrupalsite/upload");

Problem with sending email after user registration

I installed drupal-4.4.2 in XP machine today. I have php and mysql with Apache running. I managed to launch drupal and create a new user account through interface. The new user accont is recorded in the drupal database. However, I never got any email. I installed phpmailer to fix this problem as someone suggested in this forum. That got rid of couple of smtp erros but it still doesn't send username and password to the regitered email address. I ran out of options that I knew. Can anybody help me please?

Thanks,

Drupal not for a news or review type site?

As per this thread... http://drupal.org/node/view/8433

I have a delimma. Although the work that goes into Drupal is really unbelievable, functions that pertain to a news type or review type site seem slim. Being able to write a news story, a review, etc... requires that you have the ability to have mulipart documents above all else. A review might be several pages long that ends in a rating. A drop down selector with all page titles is also needed. This allows a quick jump to any page in the review. From what I can put together, the only module that allows for multiple pages is the collaboritive book module that doesn't really fit the bill. Article.module allows for links in the blocks to the content, the book module doesn't from what I'm reading. Some multipage function is really needed for the article.module. That or a review module that has this function. It appears that we do have the teaser which is fantastic, but Drupal doesn't seem to have the capability to just add a page to a document. If a page is added to a document, Drupal should be smart enough to add the teaser and resulting pages. This is a real loss. Couple this with multiple hours of searching the site for answers as to why the image.module doesn't work with the latest release, I'm left stumped. Many simple news scripts have the ability to traverse pages. Not being able to place an image on a page and no answers for a fix makes me wonder if there is any hope for Drupal for my needs. It truly is a loss.

Menu config that lists the number of underlying nodes?

Hi all,

I've seen menus on various sites where each menu item gives the user an idea of how many articles are associated with that menu item.

For example:
Football (33)
Basketball (10)
Baseball (32)

I've looked at many of the Drupal menu modules but haven't found 'the one' (or maybe I haven't found out how to configure 'the one').

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Kevin

Problem with posts vanishing as soon as I hit preview or submit

I recently installed drupal 4.4.2, the latest version of apache, and mysql.

For stories and blog posts, but not forum or pages, whenever a user, including admin, tries to post, as soon as they press submit or preview their text in the body goes missing.

I tried to narrow it down, look in logs, forums, but to no avail.

To try and fix it, I tried to post as admin, to fix any permission problems. Admin was also afflicted by this problem.
