I am running the latest v471 with chatbox and instant messenger.
Unfortunately, if somebody is using the IM and chatbox to the same time, it will cause in a problem.
If you press of the IM, the new or latest node can not be found and you are getting a white screen plus menu.

Guess this is a serious error. Anybody with the same problem?

Does anyone know if a SXIP module for 4.7 is in the works, or have luck changing the 4.6 module to work in 4.7?

Thanks,

Is there a module that allows images to be attached to a node without uploading through the upload module, and without inserting them into the main text with a tag or wysiwyg editor.

I am developing a site for a client that wants image inclusion to be as non technical as possible. My client wants a solution where the users choose the images to include and nothing more. He does not want the users to place the images in the main text themself.

I have not yet found that functionality in any module, but I ask here in case I might have overlooked something.

1) What is a Common Taxonomy, and why is it important?

A Common Taxonomy is a taxonomy that is available for use by lots of drupal sites. It will open up a huge range of community and social networking aspects.

There are several aspects to developing a Common Taxonomy.

1) The schema. I need to work with a techie to develop this, but it's not hard. I already know how to make it be language independent, and utilise folksonomies as a development tool.

2) Populating it. This I can do. I already have a 25,000 element proof of concept from a previous project - to which I own the IPR. Populating taxonomies is the slog bit that techies tend to avoid, but I can do it.

3) The Helper Module - a module that installs the Common Taxonomy and provides a set of editing tools so that site designer can reduce it to the parts that are relevent to their site, and make any local changes / additions they might need. This is what I need a coder for.

What are the implications?

On it's own this doesn't do much, but it lays the ground for a many new developments around allowing different communities (drupal sites) to form metacommunities.

a) Search - If lots of sites have taxonomy elements in common, then that implies that multisite searching can be done. As tagged nodes tend to be important ones, the fact that the searching is driven towards those that people have put effort into tagging will favour good docs being returned as results.
