Read moreNew module for image optimization
Hello,
I'd like to introduce a new module: ImageAPI Optimize. This is a "virtual toolkit", that means it does exactly what GD or Imagemagick toolkit (your choice!) does, and it optimizes the output.
This module does requires (optionally) some external commands.
All suggestions are welcome!

Pushing Drupal's ability to distribute graphic rich content links via email is what I do best. For a while Send, News, MLM and MIME modules were working well in D5 and I was able to create newsletters and pass them to a mass email app. Send module for D6 has been broken for some time now and Id like to hear if others have found solutions that work.
Read moreNeed a way to add the same text link to all items
We are uploading our obituaries through Feeds into an Obituary content type. One of our advertisers has an agreement that a text link to their website will appear at the bottom of every obituary.
I'm using Views to create a "teaser list" of obituaries on the main obits page; the title of each obit is a link to that obit's page.
I need the "text link ad" to appear at the end of each obit's page ... and below each obit's "teaser" on the main obit page.
The ideal solution to this would be a pre-populated CCK field ... but I haven't been able to find a way to do this.

I am in the final stages of building a Drupal/ProsePoint site for a small daily newspaper. We are using the Feeds module to bring in our daily Classifieds, which populate as individual nodes. I found a way to create a custom search block for Classifieds -- http://drupal.org/node/141788 -- so that users can search only Classifieds and not the entire site.

Does anyone have any experience using e-Commerce with Webforms and PayPal? I'm running into some problems I can't solve, and I could really use some help.
(Yes, I know Ubercart outshines e-Commerce in many ways; where it failed me was with Webforms, since I can't clone them and still use them in Ubercart; I have to create 40 forms for 40 different products, and I don't have time to create them all from scratch.)

At CornellSun.com, we had an article about the deaths of two students in < 24 hours get linked to on the front page of huffingtonpost.com. While the link was there, our site was absolutely overwhelmed with traffic well past what our server could handle. Obviously, we're working on a plan to handle a similar situation in the future, but I thought it would be a good idea to share our experience with this group and also get some feedback.

What is the best way to stage website development?
Sorry for the newbie question.
I've been working on a website for our company for a couple of months now from the hosted server, but have not set up the domain name yet, so the only way to find the site is via the IP address.
But in the final stages, I need to have the domain name set up to test some of the features (SSL, Google analytics, etc...).
