Acidfree "search" function?

Is there a function i can call through acidfree that will return the results of a search of acidfree content?

i want to do a search based on how old the media is and how many times people have viewed the content and then apply a style sheet to the results.

is this possible with some acidfree function?

Help pls: HowTo make border around embedded image?

I'm sorry if this question has been answered somewhere else (I strongly think so), but I just couldn't find an answer.

So, here we go:
How do I make an invisible border around an embedded image, in order to have a space between the image and the text? TinyMCE includes the images with <img src="http://www.source.net/test.gif" />.

If I include border="10px", I get a border around the image (with the color of the text), but there is no space created. So what exactly do I have to do?

How do I edit RSS feeds to include other Node types?

I'm using Drupal 4.6 and Acidfree 4.6

By default, Aggregator includes feeds from News stories that are promoted to the front page.
Is there a way to include Acidfree media or other nodes like Page into the feed?

Thanks for reading.

Drupal RSS, podcast, and so on integration

I have many difficulties getting th RSS and such to work with Drupal. I want to mention that I have been spoiled with Wordpress who have really solid implementation. Their model is far more extensive, and advanced. I think considering the number of people posting around and developing modules, it's worth it to start improving the Drupal implementation of these.

Specifically: It is important to recognize that the line between rss feeds, podcasting, video podcasting, and now photocasting are becoming somewhat blurred. One common feed is likely to have the information to cover all of the above mentioned outlets. However Drupal depends on modules to implement all of them separately, and most of the modules are quite underdeveloped.

I think it would be a major step forward for Drupal to generate feeds which can discriminate and decypher various terms. That is, I could choose an RSS feed which is centred around "sports" (or any other category I choose), by a different URL. The linked RSS file which would become present on all pages, could then could contain the variables to make such a discrimiation possible.

The media thing becomes important, because a given feed could simultaneously generate the proper syntax to support podcasts, and video podcasts. If I'm not mistaken, the extra syntax will not affect the rest of the feed, and will be simply ignored if being read by a simple RSS reader. In other words, one dynamic generator script, applied universaly throughout the site, which can be category specific, and has media links in the proper ____casting format.

Tagging Audio Content

I'm currently working on a site which includes images and audio recordings. The site is part of an local history Project where we are collecting images taken in the last 100 years and recording interviews with local residents (greenwich London), many of whom have direct memories of the images being taken. These interview are to be transcribed, which has the handy effect of making the audio searchable :)

I've setup a taxonomy system so that images are being neatly oraganised and cross-referencing, using the following catagories:

  • Landmark
  • Company Name
  • Date Range
  • Subject Matter
  • Street Names

But I would now like to reference specific parts of the audio recordings so for example, all images tagged with a particular street, are also displayed with snippets of audio recordings refering to that same street etc.

So far, I have setup a local Darwin streaming server for testing and am able to pull out specific segmnents of the interviews using 'starttime' and 'endtime' comands in the embed tag (this site was really usefull for all this stuff: http://soundscreen.com ).

But now I'm wondering what the best way would be to link specific timecode to images. I could create another node type "streamed media snippet" or perhaps I could do something clever with the transcribed text (i'm not sure what!!) or perhaps I should use flash or something (though I'm anti closed formats).
