Creating my first page.
Where will the page be stored on my hard drive? Which should I choose? Filtered html or full html and why? Thank you. Eric S.
The page will be stored on your hard drive, but probably not in the sense you are thinking. The data that makes up the page is stored in the database, then Drupal pulls the data pieces it needs from that database and assembles the page into a presentable format. For input formats you most likely want Filtered HTML for security reasons. Here's a good article explaining them: http://www.lullabot.com/articles/drupal-input-formats-and-filters Jamie Holly http://www.intoxination.net http://www.hollyit.net On 2/12/2011 5:41 PM, Eric Sepich wrote:

The "node" table in your database contains basic information, such as content type, created date, and flags like "sticky," "promoted," etc. The actual body of the content, as well as the teaser and revision history is kept in the "node_revisions" table. Both tables are required, at a minimum, to define a node (of which the "page" type may be one). If you assign any categories (taxonomy), that requires several more tables. Comments require more tables. Additional fields may be added by other modules, such as CCK, and require even more tables. So you can't point to any one place and say "that's my page" - it's actually scattered about in your database depending on what features you use. Drupal's code (also in pieces) will pull it all together to display it the way you want it shown.
