module uninstall: module creators should provide sql database table removal scripts for uninstall

Module developers who create modules that modify the drupal database should provide a .mysql file that can be used to remove all the database records and tables associated with their module during uninstallation.

This is particularly important when bugs or incompatibilities arise.

EXAMPLE:
This occurred for me after installing the privatemsg module and then the relationship module.
The second installation broke BOTH modules.
Even after 'uninstalling' both of them, their database modifications still exist.

IE 7 Problems

Start testing heavily with IE 7. Grab the public beta 2 that was released last week and seriously start playing with it.

Coming into drupal.org, I see a problem with the menus being totally messed up.

IE6 display problem

http://drupal.org/node/22801 is an example of this post.

IE 6.02 seems to have a problem displaying the contents in div class codeblock. Many time the content has to be selected to get it to show on the page. Does not seem to be a problem in Navigator, Firefox, or Opera; unfortunately nearly 90% of the visitors to sites I create use IE.

Has anyone found a solution or a cause to the problem?

Forum Privacy/Security

I was trying to find out if there is a way to "lock" forums so that only registered members of a website having viewing/content priviledges. I have been told, that there is no way using Drupal to do this. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this matter.
Thank you.

where to find the download module used by drupal's download page?

i like the way drupal's download pages can be organised by drupal versions, and by themes, modules etc. where can I get this module for my own website?

Feedback from a new user.

Hi all,

First of all, I'm very new to Drupal - but I have been working hard to understand the basics during the last 14 days. I've been working with it several hours daily in order to make my time with Drupal easier, and with my limited knowledge to PHP but quite good knowledge with HTML, I feel it is much easier now than it was just a few days ago.

I'm very happy with Drupal, eventhough it took me a short while to figure out the installation - which is very odd and tough compared with the otherwise userfriendly backend of the CMS. I have failed to understand why the installation has to be this cryptic - but it works if you read the manual - and that's good enough for me - at least.

Straight after the installation, I installed a Danish translation, and the i18n module - because I wanted to make my website multi-lingual. The i18n module is just a pain to install. You have to patch some files - and if you don't know how to do this (well you have to be a die-hard coder to know this) you can get it from the authors sandbox. It's quite nice - but not userfriendly at all. However I managed to find the patched files from the author - and this of course didn't work quite well in the beginning. I kept getting the "warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by..." because the end of the files contained an empty line. Annoying? Yes Hard to a solution? No (Drupal forum works very well). Patching files should either A) Be easier, B) Not nessecary, C) Better documented.
