Drupal 4.7.x

I've got someone helping me theme a site for a client and he's out of his depth and keeps getting stuck. This is his first time theming a Drupal site, so it's not all that surprising. Unfortunately, we have to deliver the site to the client on Friday so I can't spare the time to just let him figure it out.

What I need is a real Drupal theme GURU that would be willing to help my guy on the theme. Answer questions, get him unstuck when needed, etc. In particular, we're theming on a phpTemplate on Drupal 4.7. We're trying to do major theme changes to the forums in particular. Unfortunately I don't have the specific issues he's having yet. We'll need to contact you via email, phone, and AOL or Skype as this is sort of an ASAP project.

I'd rather not just hire someone else to theme it as I want to keep working with this guy, but if that's what it comes down to...

Please let me know your hourly rate (or if you want to quote me a project rate for the week, that'd be fine).

I'm running a drupal site (currently version 4.7.6) but i'm afraid i have been hacked? I can still login as the administrator (user 1) but i have no access to the administration pages (no access rights to ..). Same happened to 3 sites on the same server. Happened on the same day. All suggestions welcome.

Hi at all.
I need help for to move my forum from a site to an other new site.

I have site that has a db very dirty. I want to take from it only users and forum with all thread and comments.
What tables I need to copy in new db?

Thank you very much

I realize it is a silly question! Here's my confusion:

In a site we have 3 different paths all pointing to the same 'home':

example.com
example.com/node
example.com/frontpage

Now, example.com and example.com/node seem like the same thing. Is there no difference?

But /frontpage is view, which by default points to the home, that is example.com.

I'm in hell. I've been without internet for a week due to a lightening strike, and I got online tonight (at a friends) to check my drupal website and get this error message:

Fatal error: Can't open file: 'sessions.MYI'. (errno: 145) query: SELECT u.*, s.* FROM users u INNER JOIN sessions s ON u.uid = s.uid WHERE s.sid = '361557d69485932e32e8c845c6299c88' AND u.status < 3 LIMIT 0, 1 in /home/theword/public_html/your_tribe/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66

Hi, I'm new to Drupal. What is the best way to include a php file so that all modules have access to its functions? Say that I have a file my_utility.php that contains many utility functions that my modules can use, how to make it so that all my modules can use these functions? One way I figured is to put it in includes/, and change common.inc's bootstrap function to load it. This works fine, but I'm not sure whether that's the best way, although it does have the benefit that I don't need to call require_once is my modules.
