D6

Hi all,

I've been enabling and disabling geo, location, geocoding and mapping modules for the last couple of days, but have not been able to find a combination allowing me implementing this with Drupal 6:

1. a user should be able to either enter a new location by searching with its name and/or address, OR
2. by pinpointing it on a map.

Path 1. Searching by name and/or address
- The search should start with a simple text field. The user enters a name of a place and maybe its address or parts of it.

Finally, I have publically posted a version of this site running on Drupal6. Some basics:

• Site: http://groupsbeta.drupal.org
• HTTP Auth: user=drupal, pass=drupal (protects site from search crawlers)
• Drupal login: Use your regular groups.drupal.org credentials.
• Bug reports - Please search for dupes and if none, create an issue.
• Feature requests - please don't file any now. We are focused on the upgrade.

Some notes:

1. Email has been disabled.
2. We are using a copy of groups.drupal.org DB. Feel free to mangle the content. I do testing in the Sandbox group out of habit.
3. All private content has been unpublished. We are not offerring private content on D6. We will soon post on front page about this and email all authors of private posts. You will have a chance to download your content or make it public. More info soon.
4. The job listing page will come back soon. I do hope this feature moves off of groups.drupal.org during the redesign.
5. We are using Solr powered search, and can facet by group, among other things. Thanks and respect to the apachesolr devs.
6. Panels powered group pages are gone for now. We need to finish this patch. Help wanted.

Can anyone recommend some good modules for 1) generating meta tags and 2) creating a sitemap for Drupal 6?

Many thanks,
Heather

Sorry, I'm sure this is addressed somewhere, but I can't find it. Can someone point me to a discussion that can help me decide whether I should be using Drupal 6 "Page Compression" or Apache2's mod_deflate?

Thanks.

Av alla de sajter jag sett så verkar ingen ha "delat upp" en nod på flera webbsidor, utan en nod presenteras alltid i sin helhet. Jag har verkligen letat dokumentation, moduler, tips, exempel, grupper etc i en vecka nu, utan att hitta någon som helst ledtråd. Det här är enkelt att lösa "utanför" Drupal så att säga, men det är inget konstigt behov så det borde finnas en standardlösning, eller?

Tänk er följande:
- En databas med akvariefiskar.
- En speciell content type för akvariefisk.
- Olika delar (typ flikar):
o Allmän info + bild (startsida för en akvariefisk)

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'm assuming it's too late, but if not here's an easy performance win for D6:

http://drupal.org/node/215080

<

blockquote>The type column of the {system} table is currently a varchar(255) field. Yet in 99% of all Drupal installations it stores either the text 'module' or the text 'theme' and nothing else. This is already a strong case for making it an int column and defining constants for module and theme. Then, on every page, there is this query:
SELECT filename FROM system WHERE name = 'user' AND type = 'module';

KarenS who just organized a Drupal User Group, in Central IL, gave a presentation to it's founding members explaining a much improved CCK for the D6 release. CDMUG took notes and posted them to share with the Drupal community - check out our milestone 100th node post. ;-)
