Post installation

I have been playing with drupal for a long time. I was primarily drawn to it by it being able to pull in and display rss feeds from other sites. When I was running version 4.2 with the import contributed module it had a way to expire entries on it's own and remove those entries from the database. I see no such function in the 4.4 release candidate. How is drupal managing the databases on these entries.

Hi,
I'sorry for my bad english.
I need some help.
I've installed Drupal 4.3.2, I've createt the admin user, but, new users have some problems with their registration.
When an user try to register him, the system shows this message:
"This required field is missing: Nome"

What can I do?

You can see the problem at http://www.sistech.net/drupal432/

Thanks

This is kind of a weird question, but I hope someone can point me in the right direction on this.

I'm working on a site that uses drupal 4.4 as the backend for the content management. Because there are a finite number of pages that all have fairly specific layout needs, I'm not using drupal for the front-end on the presentation side. So the user uses drupal to get the info into the database, and the data is then pulled out into appropriate places on their site.

I've tried this method on a couple sites and so far, it has been working great, it gives me a lot of flexibility to export the data into multiple formats and gives the content admin one very intuitive user interface.

My question is, I just tried to implement the HTMLarea module on a 4.4 install (I feel like this will be the final piece that will give my content managers EXACTLY the right amount of power for their needs). I got it working fine within drupal. That is to say, I can test a new node out, give it some formatting with HTMLarea, save it, view it in drupal, and it looks great. But when I pull this data out of the database with code OTHER than drupal, there is an odd character (Â) that is present wherever there is a whitespace in the output.

My question is, does anyone have a suggestion for dealing with that? I know this is somewhat outside the scope of what drupal is designed for. I tested the output from HTMLarea, and I can't see where those special characters are being inserted. It looks like it's some processing code between the time the node body leaves the HTMLarea and the time it arrives at the database. I'm not even sure what the purpose of that character getting inserted is? I'm sure there's probably a reason.

Is there a simple authoring module that acts like MT, giving authors a simple way to add an href without coding it by hand? HTMLArea is a bit of overkill for my puposes: my authors just need to be able to make links out of text.

Thanks for the help.

From what I've seen in the archives it's been available for awhile -maybe a year, but I just discovered and implemented the htmlArea module. This is a great module for anyone who wants to support non-tech types authoring Drupal nodes/pages. The module gives the "body" or text input area of content/node creation pages a 'MSword-type" formatting bar which can be used to format the users contribution.

Did a quick look for this, but don't see anything about it. When you are "tagging news items" in syndication, you see one page of news. Is there a way to access other pages?

I don't see a pager or other way to get to older items.
