taxonomy_dhtml.module?

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!

Linking members, user and profile modules.

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.

Drupal eating spaces in RSS feeds, Bug

Drupal will take certain RSS feeds and start chopping spaces, and/or adding spaces to the content text!! For example, if you look at this feed:

http://blogs.sun.com/roller/rss/tucker

The RSS feed is fine and the content is fine...but when Drupal reads it over, it screws up the text. "How we're" becomes "Howwe're" and "create an" becomes "createan".

Am I the only one having this problem? This seems pretty serious...

MT To Drupal & Clean URLs

I moved my MT blog to Drupal and have got it pretty much set up how I want it. I used James Seng's great MT 2 Drupal script to move my MT entries into my Drupal blog. It all worked great and without a problem.

That is until I turned on clean URLs. When I did this I noticed that whenever I went to a post that was created in MT it brought up just an html page, the one that MT had originally created. If I turn Clean URLs off, it works fine. The only difference is that when I have Clean URLs disabled the link to the archive looks like this: http://blog.aranami.net/?q=archives/001007.html while when clean URLs are enabled it looks like this: http://blog.aranami.net/archives/001007.html, which is the same link but just without that ?q= thing. When I went and looked at the actual archives that were transferred from MT (which are in an "archives" directory) they are just the pages that were created by MT, just now without any of the styles that they had before (since I deleted MT from my server).

So, my question is, is this a problem with my Clean URLS (maybe in the .htaccess or something), or is it something with the MT 2 Drupal script? Has anybody else used this script and had a similar problem? It doesn't seem like the archives were actually imported since all of the html files that MT had created are still there. I'd like to have Clean URLs enabled with all of my archives, but if I do that they all look really bad because they are the old MT created html files. Why does having that "?q=" in the URL make it look like it's suppossed to in Drupal, but without it it looks like the old MT page? Is there anyway to get rid of these old MT made html pages and have them actually moved into Drupal?
