Deprecated - Usability feedback

Hello there,
I already have a Drupal installation and I´m doing just fine with it.
My site´s only for specific target, so it doesn´t receive much traffic as... may I say Drupal.org or theonion.com

But, we´re using our site to allocate our "daily weblog" (in a manner of speak in), our OnLine Courses, and the "online tail" of our brick and mortar courses.

So we´ve already installed several modules:

attachment
casetracker
devel
excerpt
filemanager
flexinode
gsitemap
image
img_assist
logintoboggan
paging
print
search_config
tac_lite
userplus
views
webform

Besides that, we have some more active modules that came inside Drupal´s core.

Now we want to add inside this one site our "alumni" area, who is going to need even more modules:
buddylist
flag_content
profile_pages
profile_visit
subscriptions
user_readonly

And maybe a few more. I´ve already tested those ones, and seems to work exactly as I wanted.
(I´s easier for us to use this way instead the OG modules).

My question here is: Should I put all those new modules in a different Drupal installation? Are there known issues about installing several modules? Can all crash in at anytime?

I wanted to use the same installation, to get a single username´s database, so once the student´s get their diplomma, they are going to be changed to the "alumni" role a lot easier, withouth the need of creating a new user somewhere else.

Hello All,

I'm wondering if there is a way to have the Recent Posts link show some sort of "new" indicator when there are new posts. I used to the recent comments block, but that was cluttering up the site too much, and didn't show new topics when they were added, only when commented upon.

I currently have Recent Posts in the Primary Links menu, but would like to add a little visual cue that there are new posts there when someone logs in.

Thanks!

Hi,
Is there somebody having successfully used the CAS module ?

I was able to login with it ONE TIME. Successfully putting user/pass
to the CAS server and being logged into drupal.

Then i always got the error :
user warning: Duplicate entry 'vayssade' for key 2 query: INSERT INTO users (name, pass, init, status, mail, created, uid) VALUES ('vayssade',

some other warnings and login always fails.

For Drupal 5.x, I would like to request that official support for permalinks and trackbacks are implemented. To my knowledge, these features are currently only available through unofficial means. In my opinion, any CMS-system should include them out-of-the-box, so to speak.

I want to be able to display custom profile fields in the user information for Nodes and Comments. I use the Friendselectric theme, and all I need to have displayed along with what's already there is profile_location. Been searching, but can't find anything that covers this.

Is there an easy solution?

Thanks!

Hello, I'm a new user and trying to get my head around Drupal. I'm an artist, so the content of my site is archived projects. I want to upload a high resolution image (someties in extra landscape format) and embed them within a page as a small image. When the image is clicked I want to enable the image to open in an expanded popup window that sretches to the size of the originally uploaded file.

What things should I be looking for (and where) to enable me to explore ways of doing this?

many thanks

K
