So, I've given myself (and spared you) three days to try and get this to work. Didn't happen.

I created a Custom Subscription (Node Type: Announcement) and cannot get it to send email OR queue. I can subscribe to content types, like Page, Story, etc. I have a custom content type, Announcement, that I want people to be able to subscribe to. Any ideas of why this isn't working or what I can do to troubleshoot?

Like I said, I've spent three days reading threads, tinkering, checking this and unchecking that, nada. Oh, and this framework doesn't provide much in the way of log entries :\

I can't seem to think this thru all the way, so I'm looking for some input from the community.

Our church currently uses a raw email list to send emails (ranging from daily announcements, which i find very annoying, to monthly newsletter). How can I incorporate these emails, subscribe them to newsletters, announcements, etc, without them being active users? Many of them will never access the website.

The most dirty solution is to import the emails, create users, subscribe them en masse.

Using Drupal 6.14; Views 2 6.x-2.7

I have defined documents that are related by taxonomy. For example there's a location hierarchy (with a doctype def at the root):

region-1
--Bladen
--Clinton
--Dunn
region-2
--Orange
--Chatham
Project-Description

So, a region's page will have a region assignment; i.e., "orange"
Meanwhile, the project description, which will apply to several regions, will have the following taxonomy:
Project-Description, Orange, Clinton

Finally, the overview page for that region will have one term, the region assignment, i.e., "Orange"

I maintain a Drupal newspaper website and we're looking to improve the process for soliciting and publishing articles. The goals are to consolidate the process and make things more efficient for editors and authors to collaborate, as well as to provide some organizational tools to map out when articles will be published over the coming weeks or month.

I think there should be a specific topic for discussing the changes to the hack nights. I understand the desire to contribute back to the Drupal project, and I think it's definitely worthwhile. But, I think there are plenty of people like me who really appreciated knowing that there was a place we could go to and get face-to-face help with problems. That seems to be the traditional view of "hack nights".

Instead of actually accomplishing things the past week I've been trying to debug... Drupal, my install, MySQL. I literally spend ALL day working (not for pay) on this.

Cron will not run. It fails indefinitely.
I finally got one install (I duplicated my site on another server, with the same error) to work by uninstalling getID module. So I go to the other install and do the same thing, nothing.

Something is screwy with image gallery since I upgraded from Drupal 5 to 6. I only use image galleries on one site, huntresses.org, which is a family site. Anonymous users aren't supposed to see any content. I use front page to say that you have to register. When I upgraded from 5 to 6, the Images menu item started showing on huntresses.org for anonymous. It is the only item in the menu. Originally it let me click through the galleries and it would display the full images (the nodes). Now the images show in the galleries but the image nodes are no longer displayed. So I've made some progress.

I'm trying to switch from the notify module to notifications. I would like new users to have as default settings to receive notifications of creation, update, and comments for content types events, forums, and book pages (I call book pages "resource items"). I don't see a way to do this. New users don't have any subscriptions. They have to set each one.

With the notify module, in notify.module, there's code for inserting a new user and I've been able to modify it to:


at case 'insert':
if (isset($edit['notify_decision']) && $edit['notify_decision'] == 1){
