anybody interested?

By ron00915 on

okay folks, i'm trying to create a social networking website (e.g. myspace, friendster, etc.) where users are categorized into groups. although both the "group" and "social networking" functionalities are lacking in drupal, i'm really interested in using drupal cuz i would like users to have the options to blog, discuss, post events, etc. and drupal is hands down one of the best around in my research.

Drupal.org, 10000 nodes and counting.

By Steven on

If my timing is right, you are now reading the 10000th item posted on Drupal.org! This count includes everything except comments, which means forum topics, project issues, book pages, images and stories.

The Drupal.org website was started on April 26, 2001. These last three years, the website has been growing steadily.

Some statistics and other tidbits:

By Gabriel R. on

I listened to your suggestions and paid a developer for a flexible teaser module. The result is quite nice and I would love to see it included in the core.

Details about how it works and the necessary changes in this issue.

Drupal 4.5.0 status report

By dries on

It has been a while since the last Drupal 4.5.0 status report so the following is a summary of the key aspects we have been working on since the last status report, posted approximately three months ago.

  • Tabs. Drupal pages now use tabs for local tasks as can be seen on this example screenshot.
  • Node level permissions. It is now possible to control access to individual posts - either by user, by role or by category.
  • Sticky forum posts. You'll be able to make forum posts sticky such that they are presented at the top of the forum topic listings.
  • Multiple roles per user. Users can be assigned multiple roles which is very convenient.
  • Blogging improvements. We added a 'recent comments' and 'categories' block that are typically available on weblogs, and included support for auto-discovery via RSD.
  • Form handling. Form handling has been reworked to ensure consistency across modules and to improve error handling and accessibility.
  • Administration pages. We reorganized a significant portion of the administration pages, which makes it more intuitive to administer your Drupal site.
  • Gzip compression. To reduce bandwidth, Drupal can send gzip compressed pages.
