Drupal 4.7.x

Hi,

I'm currently looking for a module that can help me with the following (I'm running 4.7.6):

On my frontpage there's a lot of "news"-items. I want to be able to specially highlight those items that belong to certain categories (e.g. category "Culture" with a blue heading instead of my standard grey, or a red borderline around the item).

Any suggestions?

Help is very much appreciated!

I have a client that would like to be able track meeting attendance using our drupal site. Ideally, the input needs to be as easy as possible for non-technical users that are barely used to spreadsheets.

As a matter of fact, a spreadsheet may be the easiest way to track the meeting participants, their role, the meeting date and notes from the meeting. Any suggestions?

Hi. Is there a way to set up (sort of, but not really) different sites on subdomains of your main site and use a different theme for those subdomains, but use the same database as the main site? I've done a simple test by just putting another theme in the /sites/
directory and enabled the theme, but it just loads the default theme, which is the one for the main site. Is there a way to get around this? If there is a way to get around this problem, will I run into other problems trying to run multiple sites, but using the same database?

Thanks.

Teynier, Pic & Associés is a french law firm.
Nothing to fancy technically, most of the site is built using core modules.
I just needed to add i18n (french/english), and PDF View to generate team members resumes.
And TinyMCE for the writers of course...

Everything else is just xhtml/css and template overrides, to make the site look exactly like the mockup I had designed in Photoshop.

Hi,

I'm trying to import comments into my Drupal site by inserting them into the database. Problem: the comments don't show up.

I did this:

• insert records in the comments table and fill columns cid, pid, nid, uid, subject, comment, hostname, timestamp, format (1), thread, users ("a:1:{i:0;i:0;}"), name. All ID's should be correct and nids corresponding with the correct nodes.
• update the record for comments_cid in sequences
• empty the cache table

And this is what happens:

Hey happy folks!

While random aimless browsing has been much improved in my switchover to Drupal search has issues and old-time users are ripping their hair as they've been spoiled by a search that:

- showed the very latest first by default
- showed images before the break so they could identify an ad visually
- could narrow the search down to search 'commercials' only or the other stuff only.

Drupal can narrow the search down to a type of note - doesn't care what category the node is in. Drupal also throws back commercials in the result without the leading iamge and seems to mix and match quite randomly for the date. Check a search for Budweiser here, where the more recent commercials show up only on page 13 and old ones from 2002 are at the begging. Weird.

Looks like I'll need to do something different for the search, as I'd like the images back, and to be able to narrow it down by category (rather than node) and it's pretty important that the results return in a most recent to oldest order. Google-searching the site is not an option as I've just moved over and Google has yet to re-index the site in full.
