Help

I hope I am not duplicating any posts. I have searched and searched, but have yet to uncover a solution.

I'm trying to help my church setup a website with both their video and podcasts. The issue I am having is they already publish their videocasts and podcasts to itunes. I have implemented emfield to at least manually post the videos, but is there a way that I could pull from the RSS feed of the feeds so this doesn't have to be manually done everytime a video is added?

www.osjournal.net is where I am currently testing this out. The RSS feed at the bottom appears to work sometimes, other times it doesn't.

Any help is appreciated!!

Hello,

My wife and I are marriage coordinators in our local church, and provide marriage education and marriage coaching to couples in our community.

After our site using Joomla was hacked and Drupal was recommended to us for security reasons. We are now evaluating Drupal, as well as stepping back and taking a hard look at what we want our web site to accomplish.

The functions we would like for our site are:
A place where couples that are hurting, or are looking to improve their marriage can come for help, and yet be a community where people continue to come back to.

Of common interest on many church sites is the ability to have a photo album. I've been playing around with views arguments, taxonomy and CCK Filefield to try to come up with something nice. I have something worked out.

Using the Related Links from the Links module (Drupal 5), I'm running into limitations. These are alredy established nodes, and I'm trying to fix the broken links. The new links are longer than the old ones, and Drupal won't let me make the links longer. Can anyone explain what's going on here, or how to work around it?

Anyone who is offering a link for PayPal donations can probably answer this question.

What type of PayPal account should we set up for our church?

Personal, Business, or is there one specific to non-profits?

Thanks!

I'm working on a D6 site that could be considered an Intranet style site for members of our ministry. It is accessible from anywhere on the Internet, but should have very little content available without logging in.

How do I best lock down the site so that people have to log in before getting information without showing an "Access Denied" page at the first page where they log in? I envision a future where blogs with some public facing content could occur so I don't want to lock out that option in solving this problem.

I am giving a presentation in the morning and am looking for a rumoured install profile for churches. There is a reference in an earlier posting and now it appears to be dead.

Anybody have an clues?

Is there a way to strongly encourage posters to include the Drupal version to which they refer in their posts?

Even better would be to also include the PHP and MySql versions as well since all three impact one another in terms of available features and performance.

I am a Drupal-in-Diapers user ... uber-newbie if you will ... and this need for Blog/Forum clarity is hardly limited to Drupal, it is a general challenge when trying to filter the relevance of technology-related discussions online.

I have a question related to a post from another thread:

As for the topic at hand, I'd like to see more churches integrating forums into their main sites. It's simply extending the community—fellowship and interaction—which is already taking place and introducing it to a potentially much larger audience.

I would like to see some forums take off on our church site.
But I haven't been able to convince the pastoral staff of the benefit of them, so there hasn't been much push from them to others to use such a thing.
