I'm a teacher, and I'm using Drupal to manage my course web site. I've been using it for a couple years now, and in general it has worked really well. There's just one feature that I really, really want and have so far not been able to set up practically: private forums for each student.

I've successfully used taxonomy_access to control who can see a section of the forums. For example, I've established roles called Fall2006, Spring2007, Fall2007, and soon Spring2008. Then I can assign students to those roles as they sign up, and set up permissions so that each class can access its own forums but no one else's. That's fine. But what I'd really like is to set up a private forum for each student. So in a class of twenty students, there would be twenty forums, one for each student; I would be able to access all of them, but individual students would only be able to access their own.

Theoretically, this is possible to set up using taxonomy_access. But I would have to set up a separate role for every single student, and assign permissions for every forum - I ran the numbers at one point and it works out to several thousand configuration changes to set up private forums for twenty students. I don't have that kind of time, and even if I did, chances are good that I would make mistakes in the configuration and wind up in permissions hell all term.

Could someone verify that it is "OK" to empty (not drop!) the following tables from the Drupal Database when doing a backup:

- accesslog
- watchdog
- cache
- search_index
- search_total

I have been doing a lot of database backups/restores the last couple weeks as I migrate to a new server. I know the first two (accesslog and watchdog) can be emptied without issue. I *believe* the last 3 are populated by Drupal when running cron.php, but I wanted to double-check.

Hi. I'll keep this brief and refer to a longer description below. I'm eager to help others get a quick cure for their MySQL Error 1067 Winbox Blues.

I'm not sure what version of Drupal I'm using. A friend created my site for me and hasn't returned my email requesting help with my issue. Also, I checked the forum and I located others that have had this same problem but the solution is written in Drupalian. Help, I don't speak Drupalian! Anywho, I want to submit an image to an image gallery and went through my normal procedure, but alas, for some mysterious reason my site won't create a thumbnail, therefore I can't produce an image on my homepage.

Hi,
I have been getting blank pages lately using drupal. After carefully install and uninstall all the modules one by one, I finally notice that the blank screen was cause by the view module having conflict with the CCK text fields type . This 2 thing can't exists together in the Drupal I have installed. May I know why? How to make this 2 things work together?
