Drupal 4.7.x

I'm trying to decide which route to go for a website that needs to identify and display areas on a map in which given coordinates are located. The coordinates correspond to a location (street address). The areas are custom boundaries. So, the location would be displayed and then the boundaries of the area would be displayed with a location to get more information on the area that contains the location.

What have been people's experiences with Google, Yahoo, and other mapping systems and Drupal modules? What do you think might fit this project best?

Thanks.

what's the best way to pick up and move your whole site to a different web host, keeping all the data as is?

THanks,

How easy will it be to upgrade 4.7 beta 3 to the release?

I am going to start a new web-site soon and I want it to be 4.7 based. According to these forums, its beta 3 is mature enough to start the development right away. I wonder how easy or difficult will it be to upgrade to the release version, when it finally comes out.
I realize, that there might be no precise answer, but Drupal veterans probably did a lot of similar upgrades in the past and hopefully could guess the difficulty.

Drupal 4.7-beta3. I'm using flexinode on my site for movie/book reviews. I have a couple of custom fields: Director, Writer and Body. I currently have the teaser length set to 1400 characters in the "post" settings for the site. But whenever I update or create new content, I'm getting far less than that. It doesn't seem to matter what I set the teaser length for, it seems to cut-off at the same position every time. Showing the Director and Writer fields in the teaser has no impact.

Hi,

Please bear with me.

I came across this nice tool to generate visual data models (using Graphvis) and other info:

I love the event module. I just don't like how big the event block is. I have a quite and somewhat obvious fix to that problem. So obvious I feel silly posting this. So forgive me if this duplicates an older post.

Simply add this line to the top of your event.css file:

.block-event{font-size: 7pt}

Since the font sizes are percentage based, all further font declarations become percentages of your initial font-size declaration. Therefore the block still keeps its proportional differences in font size.
