How do I do X?

Is there a way to make the body field of a content type into an instead of a ?

Help. I pretty much wasted the weekend away trying to get an IDE (any IDE) and debugger (any debugger that works) setup for my local Drupal dev environment.

Tried Eclipse (even bought a PackT ebook on the subject) in many forms... PDT, PHPEclipse, others. Tried a couple debug options like Zend, xdebug. The IDEs work to some extent but I really need debugging and have failed on every attempt in that regard. Even tried CodeLobster (very briefly) and NetBeans. Can't get debugging to work in any of these systems. But I think I'm close on several counts.

My dev environment...

I just posted a question to the Drupal.org forums at http://drupal.org/node/570220. I'm having issues with Views Bulk Operations and scripting something that will help me modify a few hundred nodes at a pop. Not something I need to do very often but am hoping VBO will provide an easy way to get it done. Not yet. 8^(

Thanks in advance if you can get me over this bump.

I've created a custom content type called "jobpost" and customized the template so that it shows the way I like. I'm now down to the problem of searching. I'd like to make it searchable so that people can type a keyword and find jobs that match it.

This article helped me do that: http://drupal.org/node/141788 So now I've got a "jobs" page that has a nice looking search box and some helpful tips.

OK, stupid question time. First a bit of background info...

I've used CCK to create a data type and a module to go with it. The module has only one function thus far and it's job is to query the DB and calculate a "volunteer score" reflecting how much volunteer work a member has logged in the 30 days prior to some target date. The whole purpose is so that I can do a better job of scheduling volunteers to work at the local non-profit theatre.

When a new user creates a page I'd like to give them the option of a couple templates, for example, "plain" (blank), "side bar," "table of contents" or etc. Depending on the choice, the content area may be pre-populated with some HTML.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? FTR, I will be using a wysiwyg editor.

I hope this is posted in the correct location. Sorry, I'm new to this.

I have been struggling with the creation of a drupal site - and being completely new to drupal is why. The deadline has just about run out (thanks to my drupal learning curve) so am willing to pay someone to assist me with some basics such as:

After having been all over the drupal site for help, soluctions to these are still elusive. Blocks did display before but dont now.

Hello,

I am trying to get email notification of new comments for users who are part of that discussion/group/forum/etc. I have the email setup and working via phpMail and it sends test emails. Also, when you join a group I believe it sends emails too. No matter what I do it just will not send emails about comments/replys/etc.

Any ideas of what I should do next, or what other info I need to post here?

Thanks,

Jason

Just posted this comment at drupal.org... http://drupal.org/node/271354#comment-1467898. The issue is with the UI for Workflow Triggers. It seems pretty clunky or at least it does in my case where I have 10 content types all destined to inherit the same triggers for 3 workflow states that I have established. Assigning the actions one-at-a-time across 90 some individual triggers has left me looking for a better way.

Just curious if anyone here has experienced this or has any idea where one would look to override the form in question?

Hi, I've got a few pages that need some extra width... is there a trick you'd suggest so that when I'm editing a page I can easily disable one of the sidebars?
