Deprecated - Drupal core

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Drupal and I'm trying to create a site. When I create a page from the create content section, I do not have a choice on what to set the URL name to.
For example, if I create a page with title, Today's News, I'd like the URL to say
www.mysite.com/news
but instead it automatically picks a URL that says:
www.mysite.com/node/1

Is there anyway I can change that?

Thanks

Drupal's issue queue currently has a running thread regarding Drupal 7's potential new database layer based around PDO (Database Layer: The Next Generation).

I have spent some time looking at this system (starting when it was just a sample "Core" in chx's private SVN repos through to the new patch linked to above) with a view to comparing this new abstraction layer with that found in Drupal 6. The point of this exercise wasn't to see if the new system was a roaring performance gain but more to check that it hadn't potentially gone the other way.

So, on to the results of the patch to date. This was tested by creating a fresh Drupal 6 install and used the devel module to populate users, taxonomy and content. A mysqldump snapshot was taken before the tests so as to provide a rollback position for furture tests.

Next, a CVS HEAD checkout was made and the patch at #17 was applied.

The front page was then profile numerous times to find some basic averages of Drupal 6 verses HEAD+patch.

The average page generation time for Drupal 6 drifted between 535ms to 590ms.

The average page generation time for HEAD+patch drifted between 525ms to 575ms.

As for the general code path review for these can be seen here:-

Hi,

Has anyone attempted to rename CCK field Names and more importantly got away with it? It's a fair cop, my website is growing and mutating as I go along rather being designed from the start and I now realise that how I named things in the CCK wasn't the best way - so I'm thinking about taking the system offline, getting in there and patting it into the shape I think it should have been done originally.

Hey, I’m a newbie to Drupal!

I need to know how to create beautiful URLs fully automatically, that

* Look like this: http://mysite.com/company/about-us
* Where "company" is a page, and "about-us" is a sub-page in menu order

I have tried pathauto module with the option of [menupath-raw], but it only puts the title "about-us" as the URL and does not bring on its parent page "company".

I need to send data to another page (on another site) using the POST-method.
Earlier I just created an URL, used drupal_goto() and that was it. But now the ability to send data with GET is removed. So instead it seems like I have to use the drupal_goto() to redirect to another local page, which generates a form and then submit this form, with POST-method, to the other site.

I was thinking of using a javascript function, like this, to automatically submit the form on page load:
