Deprecated - Drupal core

After using Joomla for my first two sites, now i wonder if i could use Drupal for my next site. I'm new to Drupal, in fact this is my second day trying it! Yesterday, i examined all the available modules in this site, although i didn't understand some of them, mostly because of new terms like taxonomy. Anyway, now i'm trying to implement my idea.

How about putting all hard coded language like help text, field titles, etc in the modules into a text only file.
$output = '<p>'. t('The Drupal module uses the...
ie. comes out of drupal.module and into drupal.txt or something.
each text string would have it's own variable.
this would make it easier to proof read the modules.

then maybe a system of translation could be setup so you don't have to load translations into the database.
this would help reduce the load on the database.

I have an authentication module that I am developing in 5.x and now I'm trying to test it under 6.x. It looks like the previous logic to call the hook_auth() hook isn't working the same. Can someone provide me with some insights on the changes in 6.x? Is there any documentation available?

Thanks,

Is there a way to select the number of posts visible in a taxonomy list page?
I'm managing two drupal sites and they have different visualizations and i don't know why.
Am I missing some module or can't find the right settings page?

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new to Drupal but have a pretty complicated scenario. I've been asked to integrate one of my full fledged PHP applications into the Drupal login piece. Basically, I need to include a function on my side which would allow me to masquerade (impersonate) a Drupal user login session on a remote server (which we own) without authenticating for username or password.

Any ideas of where to even begin?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I want to upload files into custom folders when creating a story. For example
when I create a story, i want to be able to create or to choose from
the existing folders created by me or by others. After that, the files
I will upload will have the folder destination choosen by me.

There is a module or a simple way to do that?

Thanks!
