Post installation

Hello all,

I currently have a freshly installed Drupal site configured at home. I have plenty of time to work on it; the problem is that most of that time is while I'm out, without any internet access. I do have my laptop with me, however.

I'm using Drupal as a personal site... I don't anticipate anyone else creating content or anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if I get a few comments once in a while. I was planning on setting up Apache2, MySQL and Drupal on my laptop, working on the site there and then updating the production server when I can.

I don't see a calendar module. I looked at the Services page and found an example of a calendar created by one of the consultants. Help me understand where this feature is in drupal.

See http://www.nshp.org/event/2004/06/7 for a working example of something I'd like to implement on my site.

is there a module or hack to allow registering without sending an email? (maybe with a little image and a box to write what letters are in the image) or should i try to write my own? which file should i look at for this?

hi.

i have been trying for way too long to create php content in a page. i am unsure of the syntax. i am running the latest cvs.

i have tried php with ">" brackets, [php with square brackets], no brackets, return $output, print $output, echo $output, various theme returns, and i can't figure it out. even with the simplest examples of code.

can anybody help?

Hi,

In the INSTALL file for the import.module it mentions activating the taxonomy_dhtml.module to see news items grouped by taxonomy terms. I'm using Drupal 4.4 and the latest taxonomy_dhtml.module version is 4.3.

I'm wondering if there is a way for me to add this to my current installation? I'm not using the CVS version of Drupal, but perhaps it would be possible to use the latest version of taxonomy_dhtml.module in the CVS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I'm trying to configure drupal for an NGO, with the following needs:

1 - When users click to register a new account, they immediately have to fill all the personal information on the "profile" page - not just "name" and "email". Some of the fields are required, and some are not. They then receive an email like usual with their new password, and can login. That way, all their account info is already entered.

2 - I already created Custom fields in the profile.module:

...
"reo" => array("checkbox", t("Research Expertise - Other"), "1", "", ""),
"external" => array("select", t("External Financial Support"), "", array(0 => "-", "ye" => t("Yes"), "fe" => t("No")), "", 0, 0),
...

Some are text blocks, some are yes/no radio buttons, and some are checkboxes. (And yes, I also already added the patch for checkbox handling). The checkboxes are static, but it would be great if they could be linked to [or rather, be created by]the taxonomy, ie "These are our blog categories, and this person specializes in a few of these categories". So that way, each time a blog category is added, an appropriate checkbox is also added in the user profile / registration - and I don't have to edit profile.module by hand.

Now I've downloaded and installed members.module, which works great, except that I can't figure out how to add fields to the "Columns to show" box; ie I want to display the persons' country on the members page.
