Ok, I do not think this is a problem with drupal itself, but I don't even know where else to go to find a resolution to this (yes, I am a n00b), so hopefully one of you fellows can help me out. :)
Anyway, this is what I get in my server logs after trying to mail a new password:
I'm working to put together a site to publish selected articles from several magazines, published in multiple languages (there are three in English). I finally concluded that I can do pretty much what I want by using books (as much as possible I want to stick to Drupal core), using a three-tier structure like this:
- Cooking Magazine
---- 1st Quarter 2004
-------- Cooking in India
-------- Recipe of the month
---- 2nd Quarter 2004
-------- Article 1
-------- Article 2
- Gardening Magazine
---- 1st Quarter 2004
-------- English country gardens
-------- vegetable of the month
---- 2nd Quarter 2004
-------- Article 1
-------- Article 2
There are two drawbacks I have found:
1) I would like to publish, not the articles, but the summary of the magazine (ie the middle tier illustrated above) to the front page. When I look at the magazine under "Books", the summary is automatically generated, but when I look at it on the front page, the summary is not there. Can somebody point me to the piece of code that handles this? I don't mind changing it a bit - in fact I think it would be useful to contribute it to core.
2) I can see my drop-down list of the books hierarchy very quickly getting unmanageably big, since at the moment it shows all the articles. I can see two solutions:
a) have two drop-downs, so that you begin by choosing the publication, then the hierarchy for the publications;
I'm getting familiar with xtemplate and dreamweaver simultaneously... and could use some advice!
In order to edit the xtemplate.xtmpl file in dreamweaver, I have to first rename it to .html. When it starts to look right, I have to rename it back to xtemplate.xtmpl.
I tried adding xtmpl to the MMdocumenttypes.xml file for dreamweaver without success. If this is the best approach, I don't know the correct change to make.
We recently installed drupal (4.3.x I believe) as CMS in our site and it's great. There is only a small problem with it: although the site's name is configured in the appropriate section and appears correctly in newly made nodes (static pages, stories etc.) the default nodes of home, blogs and forums still appear with just a dash ("-") as if no site name is given. This renders bookmarking troublesome as by default the new bookmark would be named "-".
Since many drupal sites do not face this problem, I am sure there is a solution... only we haven't figured it out yet.
Ok. I want content to be in let's say Russia/English.
This means I create 1 story (or poll, or static page) with 2 version (English and Russian)
I want one to be default and other to be switchable (just link to other one).
Now I did this using taxonomy (Language vocabulary with 2 enries: English and Russian), but they both show on front page. Anyway it's hard to maintain.
