Drupal 4.7.x

I'm installing on a Mac, system 10.4.9, running mysql 5.0.41. I've created a database named "drupal", using MySQLAdministrator. It has no tables at the moment. I've given write permission on the settings.php file. I have the Drupal "Database Configuration" screen showing on the browser. I've given it the name of the database, the root user, and the password, all of which works on MySQLAdministrator. It gives the error message "Failure to connect to MySQL server".

I suspect I'm supposed to tell it where the database is -- "localhost" -- but don't know the syntax to do this.

Many of our users still use 800 x 600 screen resolution. We have a default screen res of 1028 x 768. I need to create a button to allow users to switch between resolutions while viewing the site.

Is there any way to do this in Drupal

Thanks

Hi,

I am a drupal newbie - so please bare with me! I have the following issues that i need to resolve for my site: http://nitkieee.com
(This is an IEEE student branch website at my college in India)

My drupal website - andreas03 theme (modified), modules: buddy list, buddy invite, buddy chat, notify, events,view (apart from the standard ones for 4.7.6)

-> I have used stories (instead of static pages). I vaguely remember reading it somewhere, that its better to use stories instead of static pages. Now the problem is that i dont know how, but recently i can view a start, and timezone at the head of each page(story). I cant figure out how to get rid off this. Someone please help!!

-> The budy list displays users as online even when they arent, that is when a user doesnt log off properly. I wanted to integrate the buddy chat with the block "Who is online". Can someone tell me which block is responsible for "who is online" or if there is a better way of implementing this, as in using another module?

-> I havent searched much for this doubt, but i am interested in creating a menu in which when the mouse hovers over it, it displays the sub-menus under it.

Is it possible to do a search within the results of the previous search?

Eg. like google's 'Search within results'

I'm using Trip search module for Drupal 4.7 and I have found that there is a limit of 200 characters for the search string. Google's 'search within results' just appends the previous search to the new search and so 200 characters is not enough for my intended use, which is a custom search page I have created with synonyms of keywords, entered into the search string.

So is there a way to extend the number of characters allowed in the search?

Hi,

I know we can alter css. to make blocks shown horizontal, but I don't want to alter my theme.

I know there is a way with links (http://www.xweb.com.au/display_menu_horizontal_region)
with the code:

How do I add taxonomy arguments to the image-gallery.tpl.php file?

I use arguments to theme by user and taxonomy, and this isn’t a problem in other tpl files. However, image_gallery.tpl.php is written differently from other templates and the following , for example, doesn’t work:
