Support questions

Howdy. New to the group, and not exactly a drupalero yet. I'm working through "Using Drupal", but continue to wonder if maybe I've missed something obvious with an off-the-shelf module for event scheduling. I'm trying to migrate a volunteer group from a sharepoint set up to drupal, and the functions we most need are scheduling and file storage. All pointers greatly appreciated!

Best,

Robert Link

Hi all,

Just to have a basic design question (I have searched all over the discussion forums and not yet able to any.)

Scenario: A school has a group of teachers who are teaching their subjects (e.g. Math, English, Science, etc..). A website is needed for students to pick a subject and ask question about that subject. The teacher, who is in charge of the subject will receive notification and respond to the student. Once it is responded, it will be made available to all students.

Hi there,

So I've been reviewing this topic for the past week and I need someone to connect the dots for me. I have been using Image module with, Image Assist and Wysiwyg/tinyMCE for awhile. While I love the ability to allow my users to create image content nodes on the fly when creating a blog or story and insert it inline, I would love more of the image processing functionality that Imagecache offers; heard some of that is written into D7 core. I would also like the ability to allow those users to tag the image with taxonomy for use in the galleries that we use on the site

Question: I'm using Drupal 6.17 with a Fusion Starter theme. I've installed the following applicable modules: taxonomy, taxonomy_menu, views and cck.

I've set up a taxonomy vocabulary called "Categories" and attached it to the "Primary Links" menu through the taxonomy_menu module. In the Fusion Starter theme, the Primary Links menu is a roll-over and drop-down style menu. Once a user clicks on a top-level term listed in the menu, they see only nodes categorized under that term. Thus, the only way at present to access the sub-terms is to use the roll-over drop-down menu.

I recently watched the screencast "Views Demystified: part 2" by rainbreaw. In the screencast, she shows an amazing recipe site using views attachment using a taxonomy: term argument.

That functionality is perfect, except that when I click on the taxonomy term, it replaces the page with the nodes and the taxonomy terms disappear. I need the taxonomy terms to stay on the page as a persistent list (like she has it on her site).

Can someone help me with this?

Thank you,
Joe

I have a site with article and blog content types. Each of those content types has a node reference to an Author content type that allows me to associate authors to an article or blog.

I am trying to create a view for the Author content type that will allow me to only display authors with blogs.

I'm not that savvy with arguments and I'm pretty sure that is what is needed to get this to work. I was hoping that someone here could point me in the right direction.

Thank you,
Joe

What are some of the better hosting companies? What are the pros and cons of going private vesus shared? We talked about briefly at the last meet up but I thought I would post up for the community to answer.

I need to create an RSS feed that links to my current articles but not to the current pages, but to a stripped down version of the same article (without all the blocks, ads, and other content).

The feed is going to be used for an iPhone app.

Is this possible?

Thank you,
Joe

Odd. As of 7/25 I began receiving notifications of new messages in Jobs, Discussions, etc., which I 'd not been receiving in some time, even though I've been a member here for a while and messages appear to have been freely flowing during that time.

Number one, was there a change here that caused this and, number two, is there a setting to only receive messages from specific topics? Ah, I see Notifications (?) module is being used. Maybe something happened there that all of a sudden enabled my notifications?

How are people making backups on MySQL beyond mysqladmin export, mysqldump, or export/migrate?

Can binary logs be told in the mysqld.cfg file to ignore tables?
