Drupal 4.7.x

I have to create a second front page for the German version of my site, but when i cloned the front page and save it it appears with the menu down the left looking at the source I realised its using the standard content page template!? how can i control this or change it?

Please help!

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to do something with Organic Groups and Views.

I'm trying to create a view that displays a certain type of node. The node in question is used for both general, site-wide content as well as for OG content. The issue that I'm having is that I would like to create a view that only shows nodes where the "Public" checkbox in the OG Audience fieldset is selected. If the node is not "Public", then it shouldn't show up in the view results.

I have search looking for solution. I have a lot of content that does not need a menu item for the page itself. The page has a Parent Item and i want to hold the parent menu item open. These pages require no other navigation. I am also using pathauto so categories didn't work as it gives the wrong URL. This would seam straight forward but I cant find the answer.
Structure
Grand Parent Item
Parent Item
Child Item (This child has up to 20 pages of related content and has the navigation per page in the text.

I'd like to create cover/front page in my web site.
I mean neither front_page module nor page.tpl.php
I just saw in one web site which is created with drupal.
It makes cover page (like the introductory window), and only for member login is there.
After login, user can see left and right blocks/navigations and front_page which usually see in drupal web site.
If anyone of you know how to create it, please share with me.
But, i'm sorry that i can't show you an example as it is not my own.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I really hope that I can get the hang of this quickly. I am a technically adept layperson, but definitely not a programmer. I chose Drupal because my internal marketing department really wants to create a close-knit community where we can share and support a team environment. We want so much more than blogging software, so Drupal seems perfect.

However, working with content management software has not really prepared me for configuring it AT ALL. I am working with a third party host who will allow Drupal 4.7. They have installed it via their installation module, and I am attempting to set it up.

Initially I could see 4 themes, but when I downloaded several more and installed them into the theme folder, I could no longer see anything when I click on themes in Admin. I get a blank page.

We got MySQL logging slow queries, and we found that one of the most offending queries come from the user.module. Basically, the function user_load() in user.module constructs queries generically and may not always use uid (primary key) or indexed columns for look up. Here are some combinations of WHERE clauses used by user_load():

* WHERE uid = # - this one is the best as it uses the primary key.
* WHERE mail = '***' - this one results in table scan unless we add index for the mail column
* WHERE pass = '***' - similar to mail above, resulting in scanning the table. However, we don't look up using only password without other fields.
* WHERE LOWER(name) = LOWER('***') - we thought this would use mysql index, but instead it doesn't. This query results in a table scan. Upon careful examination. The problem is because of using LOWER(). When we have run LOWER() (or even UPPER()) on an indexing column, we effectively disable the use of the index because to correctly match, MySQL has to convert the name to lower string before comparison.
* WHERE LOWER(mail) = LOWER('**@**') - same situation as above with name but easier to solve as we can always save email address in lower cases.
