Drupal 4.5.x or older

I don't understand why the gallery module goes through so much work to set the page title and breadcrumb when all it needs to do is call menu_set_location(). I upgraded to a more recent release of the Gallery Module thinking that it would actually integrate with the menu system only to find that it only adds its OWN menu, it still doesn't integrate correctly (well, at least I don't think it operates the way I would expect...)

The gallery modules seem to think that a callback function and menu item is required to register within Drupal's menu system, but I don't think that is true. If Gallery would only take all of the work that it does to figure out the tree to (incorrectly) set the breadcrumb, and instead use menu_set_location, it would get the correct page title, the correct breadcrumb(and actually, I think it's currently doing this incorrectly too, see below), and way more: any menus that the user had set up to correspond to an album or item name would automatically become active, and any blocks that depended upon a certain link becoming active would show automatically. I'm pretty darn sure that this automatic behavior, this true menu integration, is what the menu_set_location function is for, and yet the gallery module doesn't use it. Why not?

Gentlemen (and Ladies),

I am a recruiter (as can be seen from my username)
My client needs a technical lead / Drupal expert, for a contract in central London - ideally we need two professionals, one looking after the front end, and another expert to oversee the back end. Ultimately, if there is a pro who can do both - that would be the perfect solution.

Please feel free to get in touch should you be looking or open to discussing this further.

Hello All,

This is my first post in the forum and I apologize for not knowing more about Drupal but I inherited the site from previous staff. We've been very happy with Drupal, though needing to update now for a while. I'm not even sure what version we have but I'm told it's quite old.

Our site, http://www.sustainablestyle.org is not so happy all of a sudden.

Last night I was editing one of our blogger's entries. All was going well, the site was still fine and dandy. I finished the edit then clocked on 'administer' to do some work on one of the sidebar blocks. The page took a long time to load. When it finally uploaded I clicked on blocks. This page again took a long time to upload but finally did but...where there once used to be a dozen or so blocks on the left and right now there were only two listed for the left and a few for the right and quite a few under 'disabled'. At this point I was a bit surprised so I logged out thinking that if I logged back in the correct blocks would reset themselves. Once I did though, the sight subsequently lots a lot of sidebar items, lost a lot of formatting, I could login as a user, but my adminstrator menu was gone. All in all, I have no idea what happened. I'm quite sure I didn't do anything to cause the changes, but not being a Drupal expert at all and at the very entry level of web stuff in general, I'm at a loss.

Hi Everyone,

I've just got started with Drupal (having lots of fun!) and have installed the Vote API along with the FiveStar module, which allows my users to rate content (0 - 5 stars).

What I'd like to do is have a block display the 'top rated items', perhaps the top 10 voted items on my site.

I've looked for a module which does this but cannot see one; do you know of one? Or is this something I could do in PHP?

Have a great weekend
Chris.

Hi All,

Just wondering on off line manual such as chm, html or pdf. Do anyone have done converting the Drupal handbook to off line manual?
