Deprecated - Documentation

I cant find a really understandable explanation for how to make an argument in views using the $arg and Wildcard and Wildcard Sub fields.

I am posting this as a continuation of the following because the title is simpler.

I have been trying to get Image thumbnails with with Imagecache working. Unfortunately, I am still not familiar with the imagecash module. It seems like I can't find a tutorial that explains the use of imagecache step by step. In case you know a good tutorial or documentation about the use of Imagecache (using it with Imagefield), please let me and the community know.

Thanks

My goal:
Image thumbnails with "List view"

Installed modules:
CCK
Imagefield
Imagecache
Views

Hi

I was wondering whether there was a downloadable manual say in PDF for configuration/administration/use etc...

Sometimes I am in a web-inaccessible location and would like to be able to read the Drupal docs....

Thanks

Here are some basic, but high impact ways to optimize MySQL for Drupal (there are much more sophisticated and expensive ways to speed up your database of course):

Am not sure if these tips do any good for someone on a shared hosting plan or not (do shared plans have access to a my.cnf file?). Also, I can only confirm these setting for MySQL 4.0.2 thru the latest 4.0.x version, but I think it would work for 5.x (maybe someone can confirm this and leave a comment...). Actually, it will work for below 4.0.2 I think as long as you add set-variable = before each line (see this page for more on set-variable)

1. Get this script, upload it, unzip it, and install it in your /etc folder (at the root of your server, not your Drupal install, right). Then run it from the command line by entering sh tuning-primer.sh

The script will run and what you'll be left with is an output with some info and suggestions about your MySQL settings. Was shocked to learned that on my VPS the cache was not even enabled - very helpful to know!

2. Next open your my.conf file in pico or some kind of proper code/text editor:

Depending on the memory resources you have available you'll want to paste in something like these examples (adjust up or down depending on how your system differs, of course):

Hi, is there any documentation for specific Drupal-usage available ?
I like to set up a blog, but I really don't care about the other stuff for now.
So a walkthrough "how to set up a (simple to advanced) weblog in Drupal" would be very very nice.
Then later on, I can bother about adding new functionality and enjoying the advantages of Drupal...

thx

I've been using this small user style sheet for a while now, in order to make the documentation more legible. It gets rid of the right sidebar, and shrinks the text in the left sidebar. Removing the right sidebar allows more of the actual documentation to appear on the page without scrolling (I mostly work on a 14" laptop). It also gets rid of an annoying problem on some pages, where a line that couldn't be broken extends into the right hand side blocks, becoming illegible.
