Heloo Guys,

Hello!

I am baffled on how to customize the search result of Drupal... How can I let the search result view only the title and details of the page without showing the author or the date and number of comments after it...

Thank you very much...

I am trying to add some features to the events module dealing with the way the events are displayed on the calendar. I want to display events as 'tag clouds' on days rather than having the full event, and apply an onhover action to each event link that pops up a div with the information about the event being hovered over.

Hi,

I've read about eAccelerator but where can I find a tutorial how to install eAccelerator on Dreamhost.

I'm thinking about changing the way Drupal stores it's files. I'm weary of having all the uploads in one directory (or about 4 directories in my case with the additions of image, video, and userphotos). I'm envisioning a more postfix mail queue style structure, with nested folders like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and inside each of those folders is another set of 0-9 folders. That would allow I think for better disk performance when the number of files gets large and allow for some different partitioning options down the road too.

It looks to me like the function file_create_filename in file.inc could be easily edited to look something like the one below to handle my idea. I'm thinking it's not a good idea to edit file.inc though. Is there a way to override that function? Am I missing something obvious? Am I over thinking all of this? Thanks for any feedback.


function file_create_filename($basename, $directory) {
$rand1 = rand(0,9);
$rand2 = rand(0,9);

$dest = $directory .'/'. $rand1. '/'. $rand2 .'/'. $basename;

if (file_exists($dest)) {
// Destination file already exists, generate an alternative.
if ($pos = strrpos($basename, '.')) {
$name = substr($basename, 0, $pos);
$ext = substr($basename, $pos);
}
else {
$name = $basename;
}

$counter = 0;
do {
