Using .htaccess Options Indexes versus WebFM versus an index.php for Direction Listings
I've run into the problem of letting authenicated users access /sites/default/files/folder1/folder2 and see a full directory listing. Typically I solve this with htaccess (Options Indexes, IndexOptions +ScanHTMLTitles -IconsAreLinks FancyIndexing and other values). However, I see that Drupal's webroot/.htaccess does not play nicely.
Read moreHow do I get rid of the taxonomy terms display on my page?
I apologize in advance for the dumb question, but for the life of me I can't seem to find the setting to address this.
I am using Taxonomy menu in conjunction with my taxonomy vocabulary and terms to create the menus for our newspaper site. Everything works great when I click on the sub-items (terms) beneath each individual menu items/vocabulary (News, Sports, Lifestyle, Opinion, etc...). So for example, when I click on the sub-menu beneath "News": "Local News", "Local Business", "High Schools", etc... the page opens fine without issue.
Read moreProblem after upgrading to v6.12: Redirected to install page
I just upgraded a client's site to 6.12 and I'm a newbie at all this. So I followed the instructions, backed up the DB (and since it's a new site....there's practically no data) backed up the files and then deleted everything from the server and uploaded 6.12. Hit update.php and did the upgrade. Now i get redirected to the install.php page no matter what I do. Fix?
Read moreYour advice for better forums
I sure love Drupal -- except for the forums, which are pretty weak when compared to Simple Machines Forum or PHPbb. Even with the Advanced Forums module -- which improves things quite a bit -- the forums still come up short.
I'm working on integrating SMF with my Drupal 5 site now, and will look for Drupal 6 solutions in the future, so I'm wondering if anyone has good experience integrating one of these (or another) third-party boards.
Thanks!
Read moreProblem with using Panel Pages (with Tabs)
I created some panel pages with a menu type of tab. You can see the tabs at the top here, http://www.remixin.com/contests/fiasco
The problem is now every node has small empty tabs at the top. For example, http://www.remixin.com/winksound/song/i-cant-stop
I restricted the panels to just the nodes of type "contest" (the first link is this type of node). I played with the settings a bit, but nothing I did got rid of the tabs on the nodes that weren't of type "contest"
The url for the tabbed pages are in this format.

Running Cron Manually
Hi there,
I'm trying to run cron manually for the site search feature but it's giving me this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_time() in <<site path>>includes/common.inc(1646) : eval()'d code on line 55
I took a look at common.inc and bootstrap.inc but I don't think what I'm looking for is in either of those files...? What should I look at?
Thanks.

Read moreFree lunch for LA developer help
Hi there,
I'm a Melbourne-based programmer visiting LA until Sunday, working to migrate a non-profit student media & training site to a new Drupal back-end and building in a lot of video stuff. It's my first Drupal site and on a tiny budget. I'll buy someone lunch or dinner if they offer some help on the basics :-) I've got Drupal installed, themed, and a bunch of modules enabled, but I really want to finesse my solution.

Thanks,

Named Anchors
Hi,
Just curious. Has anyone had success with the Named Anchors in Drupal 6? I'm building a site that requires a side menu to link to views further down the page.
Please respond if you have had any experiences with this.
Thanks,

Read moreCreating a backend interface to registration (theming a drupal form)
Basically we have a registration page on our site for a van shuttle that runs at several different times. A person can go to this form and select the time for the shuttle along with some other options. These are stored in a separate table (called shuttle), but I need to make a nice admin interface for this. I want something along the lines of the user admin page that has a table with the information in rows and checkboxes down the side. There also needs to be a drop-down with actions in it (i know how to do that).
Read moreUser 1 lost all privilages
Hello,
I've got Drupal 5 site that won't let user 1 (or anyone else with privilages) to stay logged in.
It lets me login. I see the admin the menu. But as soon as I click on ANY admin link, it says "Access Denied" and the admin menu disappears and I'm logged out.
Another user has the experience on his machine so I know it's not particular to my box, like a browser cookies issue.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this. I couldn't find any posts on drupal.org that matched my scenario.
thanks.
