Moving the webform required marker
The concept of what I want to do is simple:
Using Drupal 7 + Webforms, I wish to move the "required marker" from after the field label, to after the label itself.
Consider this example:

Read moreWindows vs Linux deployment in Higher Ed
Hi,
I'm a one-person web shop at a small University located in the Southeast US. Our site is built on a RHEL 5.3 using Drupal 6.22 -- we host our own server, and it's been running great for the last 3 years.
We're a small school, and our IT department is outsourced. The contract we have with this company -- wait for it -- offers NO support for our web site! Therefore I'm Web Developer/ Webmaster / System Admin / Security Expert / DBA / etc. for the web. I am not trained in security or system admin and have basically been relying on a RedHat support subscription. However they don't cover the "AMP" part of LAMP, nor security for Drupal, nor anything Drupal, etc.
Well, my site got hacked recently, and one web page was vandalized. The school is now freaking out, and the IT dept is under the gun to provide security and maintenance for the web site. However, they only support Windows servers. I really don't want to go to a Windows server environment, but it may be happening unless I can provide reasons not to.

Read moreTracking when user clicks "terms acceptance" link
I have a simple event I need to track.
User comes to a site's home page. To enter the site, the user must click a "terms acceptance" link on an enter page. If the user doesn't want to accept the terms, the site redirects the user back to the home page.

Simple IE9 general question
If there's any lemonade to be made out of IE, it's that IE8 let's you do testing in IE7 and IE8.
Does installing IE9 remove that kind of configuration ability?
One doesn't blithely install new programs on Windows, (including MS programs; hello registry!) so I'm curious to hear from any pioneers.
Thanks!

Drupal Carolina's Communication Proposal
Since I mentioned that one of the outcomes of the "Drupal Camp Asheville and Drupal Carolinas LLC" discussion should be a communications proposal, I'll step up to the plate. (ref: http://groups.drupal.org/node/139499#comment-458504)
I'll first start off by saying that many people have already done this, we just need to understand what our needs our and what is the best way to solve them. I think a critical part of any sucessful organization is having a clear way to communicate and a governance model that works for the groups needs. Let's see what that might like to get thing started...

PayPal stalling out Ubercart?
On our newspaper website, we've been using Ubercart and PayPal successfully together for almost a year -- and now we've hit a snag that I can't find a way to solve.
A website visitor used an eCheck on PayPal to pay for an online product (a birthday ad) purchased through our Ubercart shopping cart. The eCheck won't clear until some time Monday (March 21).
Every Ubercart/PayPal order placed after that has cleared PayPal -- but the status in Ubercart for each of those orders is still "Pending."
