Internationalisation on 4.7

As a an updated version for the beautiful il8n module is not yet available, are there any suggestions for creating a multi-lingual site in V4.7?

I have thought of using a simple solution whereby a vocabulary (category) called es would contain all articles written in spanish, then doing a listing of all Spanish articles when someone clicks on the Spanish link.

Yet this will not come anywhere close to the effectiveness of il8n which translates navigation as well as lists only the content that is linked to the selected language.

User dependent blocks

Hey,

i'd like to have blocks at the side content that changes depending which kind of user is online (registered user, guest, maybe roles), shortly said user dependent blocks.

I mean there are content dependent blocks, node type dependent blocks, so is there a way to have user dependent blocks as well? And how can I do it?

my new module could blow away your site and this concerns me- suggestions?

I have a new module almost completed. It is an "HTML scraper". It is intended to be administered & run by admins only. I have added a permission "administer scraper", and have tested that unauthorized users cannot access its pages.

The issue is that this module permits the (admin) user to enter PHP code in a form and execute it. I had to use the PHP eval() function, since drupal_eval() would not work. So clearly this module could blow away your site if the wrong hands get access to its pages.

Problems with the instalation of Tagnode module

I follow all the steps given in README.txt, but when I go to administer -> content -> configure -> content types, and click the node type... I can't see any 'Tagnode' configuration option. Can you help me? Thanks.

AjAX data loading into a div without page refresh...any easy solutions?

Im looking for an easy implementation of AJAX-like page loading inside a div. im not looking for anything other than page requests and to use a simple loading animation while the js inserts the contents. does anyone know of or have used a easy implementation of an ajax library. my problem is im a designer not a coder, but i can chore my way through and get a few things accomplished myself.

heres what im trying to accomplish:
I want to load initially a 3 column page with 2 category/listing columns and 1 larger entry column.
example here: http://drupal.brandform.net/ already started to be merged into drupal.
top level categories will always be in the left column
from there i want to be able to load dynamically "listing titles" into the second column like a "block" in drupal.
if you click a title it would asynchronously load the entry and comments into the far right column(with a loading animation)

so far ive been able to find a multitude of ajax/javascript libraries that claim to be THE solution, but I cant figure out where to get started with a basic implementation here.
I found one very easy script to work with from Dynamic Drive, but it doesnt seem backwards compatible...
heres a sample implementation im working on.
http://dymaxion2.liquidratio.com/
but getting the title image to replace the way im doing it is buggy in ie and didnt seem right.

Any clues on how to make ajax page requests backwards compatible??? ie revert to href links and full refresh pages if the user does not have javascript? seems easy enough... maybe start with a detect and modify the template based on the users conditions of javascript/nojs ...

PHP-4.3.11 for RHEL3 variants (RHEL, CentOS3, Whitebox3)

Hi folks,

For a while, i've been trying to run drupal-4.7beta3 on my CentOS-3.5 (RHEL3 variant) machine. Unfortunately, as many people know, the RHEL3 variants only are updated through php-4.3.2.

I had found the posting http://drupal.org/node/29108 which talks about how to 4.6.3 working on RHEL3, however, the links to atomicrocketturtule.com were all dead.

I searched high and low for PHP rpms post-4.3.3 on this site, as well as the CentOS and RHEL sites, but could not find anything.

Being the RH fiend that i am these days i didn't want to scrap my RPMs and build from source. I wanted to upgrade my RPMS and try to keep them as close to RH stock as possible.

So, i finally bit the bullet and tried to compile my own RPMs of php in order to be able to run the newer versions of drupal. As mentioned, I wanted to keep the RPMs as close to stock RHEL as possible, so i tried downloading a newer version of the PHP source and using the existing PHP-4.3.2.spec file. However, that didn't work so well since there were too many changes, so i did what i thought was the next best thing...to use the Fedora RPMs. I found php-4.3.11 RPMS from Fedora Core 3 (i didn't use FC4 because that was php-4.4.x, and i didn't want to upgrade that far). I took the php-4.3.11 RPM and compiled it (along with the packages that php-4.3.11 depends on) on my CentOS-3.5 machine.
