Deprecated - Documentation

Hello Drupal Friends,

My name is Will and I work as an Online Manager for a music marketing company in NY. It's my job to service websites with tools that are used to build robust content for various websites that feature and support music content. In this case I provide sites with Bios, Photos, A/V content and links, Tour Info, ect. for them to create unique content for their sites. We have two main focus points: 1.) To build connections between similar sites in order to foster a strong online community; 2.) To help webiste build robust content and increase site traffic. We do this because record lables hire us to distribute their music on the web. Instead of just mailing albums to sites, we've taken to really understanding the type of content individual sites need and use, and to building relationships with content developers.

In order to drag my company into the 21st Century kicking and screeming I sought out a usefull solution to orgnaize my clients content, distribute information, collect feedback, and provide detailed tracking and reporting completely online. I found Drupal to be the answer to all of my needs and then some. I've been working with other Drupal friends to create an interactive portal for both clients and websites to share and exhange information. The first step in building this portal was to address the needs of everyone involved. I did this by conducting surveys and speaking to many people on both side one on one. My work as gained some attention and I've been asked to speak at this year's 2005 CMJ Music Festival.

I'm in process of choosing a theme for a new site, and found that some themes do not provide all the basic display functionality that Drupal offers. For example, some themes don't allow left and right blocks (all blocks are placed in only one side, ignoring the settings in administer>blocks). Others don't show secondary links by default, but in administer>themes>configure you are still given the choice to show or hide them.

Take a look at: http://www.benslade.com/drupal

There's a problem I have to fix where the sound gets out of synch towards the end, so try not to get too annoyed by that.

This tutorial is aimed at first time admins of Drupal. It runs through creating a few basic pieces of content, enabling a module, setting up a few blocks, setting up a few categories, and then accessing various admin settings (all using 4.6.2)

All feedback appreciated.

I set up a new menu item using the taxonomy path but whenever i click on it from my homepage it says 'page not found.' I've tried adding content and various other things but i still get the same message. I'm just starting out with this- can anyone help?

hi everybody,

i just solved all problems i had with the great SEARCH ENGINE on Drupal.
And i have to say that the Support and Documentations i found about a
fundamental module for Drupal was a bit frustrating, maybee it is all there but i do nto have the time to search 2 weeks for one problem, thats why i created this topic, a first try to bring things together

1.
if you search a word and get errors like
"warning: Compilation failed: characters with values > 255 are not yet
supported in classes at offset 52 in
/var/www/html/drupal/modules/search.module on line 258."

--> than you need to upgrade php to > php4.3.2 (if you work with RHEL3
like me, than you are in trouble or you check
http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/3ES/RPMS/).

2.
you need to set a cronjob under linux with crontab for the "cron.php" in
your drupalfolder or you type the adress for cron.php in your
browser and press enter in my case it was
www.mydrupal.de/cron.php that indexes all content from your
drupalforum into the mysql-database. See also

if you ever did a change on your side at administrator->settings->search,
this might cause that you can not index anymore or you miss old
indexes. Check in your mysql database the 2 tables
