Forwarding a node URL to a Drupal view
I recently inherited some great work done by folks that allowed Stackoverflow-style Q&A on our Drupal site using [this tutorial][1]. We'd like to expand the great work they did by adding in polls as a question type, so that there is a poll that people can respond to, and then they can also provide more in depth answers below. The normal question type works perfectly, but the poll type allows people to do everything except see submitted answers: You can see both examples [on our live site now][2].

Booster Shots for Drupal 7: Sep 17, 2010 (two sessions)
Yes, we here at Drupaltherapy knowyou're so excited to roll up your sleeves and get dirty with Drupal 7. The only thing holding you back are a few nasty bugs. Well, before you start sticking your nose into features and code it's never been in before, you should take a couple of proactive steps to make sure your experience is a healthy and productive one.
Drupaltherapy announces Booster Shots for Drupal 7, a series of half day courses designed to keep beginner and intermediate Drupal users in the know on changes in Drupal 7. All Booster Shots take place in Boston, MA, on September 17, 2010, in two identical training sessions with your trusted Drupaltherapist, Sean Effel.
Consider this your immunization to shock, surprise, and confusion when you see the new admin interface. You may likely avoid lightheadedness and fainting when you see D7's baked in field and file support, not to mention the native image handling solution. We can help you be prepared for the new season of Drupal development ahead of us rather than let this new environment get the better of you.
Please take a moment to see our offerings, Booster Shots or otherwise.

Password management?
I was wondering who out there had a suggestion for team-level password management. At my small drupal shop, we are struggling to find a solution to securely share the passwords for the several dozen accounts we manage. Doing everything with ssh keys is, i think, not a realistic option. What solutions have other people found to have reliable access to your many shared passwords?

Module developers interested in learning SimpleTest, you're not alone. Come to JP Licks tonight at 6:30 if you want to learn it with us. Two weeks ago we worked through tutorials.
