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

Escape and allow tags

I'd like to allow a number of tags (mainly the list tags and < code > tags), but escape all others instead of strip them. Is there a way to do this? I realize that the bbcode module probably does what I need, but if there is already a mechanism to do this, I'd rather not install yet another module.

user.module data handling bug

I don't know if this has already been discovered or not, but there is a bug in user.module. $edit was being continually passed to the modules, but the results were being saved in $data each time. Changes made by a module were being clobbered by the array returned by the next module. I discovered this when avatars wouldn't work, but this could potentially cause even more strange behavior. The patch below fixes the problem.

permitting html on homepage

I have searched the support forums, I have searched drupal. I'd like to stop the html from being stripped out on the homepage. Is this possible?

Scary bug/ design flaw

I just used morbus iff's great import script to get my MT entries into drupal, and then went to rename the vocabulary from the unfortunate "weblog categories" to something nicer when drupal then told me that by renaming I was about to delete the vocabulary and all terms in it.

Since the vocabulary name was an editable field, I assumed I could edit it. Boy, my heart jumped-- i'm glad I wasn't in a clicky mood.

So either: field should not be editable
Error message should be changed, if renaming does not delete the vocabulary.
(I prefer the former.)

Suppressing "Submitted by" on PHP Static Page

I followed Steven's "Quick Hack" suggestion (http://drupal.org/node/view/6385#9600) for suppressing "Submitted by" on static pages by making the following modifications:

Open up xtemplate.theme and find the following lines:

"submitted" => t("Submitted by %a on %b.", 
                      array("%a" => format_name($node), 
                            "%b" => format_date($node->created))),

and replace by

"submitted" => ($node->type != 'page' ? t("Submitted by %a on %b.", 
                      array("%a" => format_name($node), 
                            "%b" => format_date($node->created))) : ''),

This works great for HTML formatted static pages, but it does not work with PHP formatted pages. I suspect that this might be caused by PHP pages not being rendered as node type = 'page' for some reason. I have spent hours searching the entire site for possible explanations and solutions, but aside from finding a handful of posts identifying the same problem, I have not found anything that is actionable. So, I am hoping that this forum topic will attract attention and suggestions from one of the many Drupal wizards in the community. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Donovan.

Subscription VS registering mail

Hello,

I installed the subscription module but no mail has ever been sent by the module. At first I thought it was the communication between Drupal and the sendmail service of my ISP but, as I tested to be sure, the sendmail is correctly used to send the registering notification to new user. Does somebody have a cue on how I could correct this ?
