Is there any good documentation about sharing modules and codebase for several sites? I see some pros and cons but I wonder if it is worth the effort: pros: - you can share tables - you fix/tune stuff in one place - you upgrade in one place - you save some space cons: - less tedious but more complex/risky install/upgrade process any hands-on experience? comments? -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it

Online Journal / e-Portfolio
by Daniel Carrera 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hello, I need a way to make it easier for users to create an on-line portfolio of their work (the users are students doing school projects). The way we've been doing it so far is that they just make regular HTML pages. This means that the pupil must be mindful to keep an index page or else it'll be impossible to find their work scattered all over the site. I would love to have something that kept a group of pages together. I looked at the "book" content type and I liked it, BUT anyone can insert a page in anyone else's book. That's not what we want. We also don't want each user to be faced with a list of 2,000 "books" to choose from when Drupal asks to which book they want to add their page. Can anyone think of a better alternative? I took a look at the E-Journal module and that didn't do what I wanted either. E-Journal is to create a regular publication with issues and volumes and the like. Using a Blog would normally be a possibility, except that one of their projects that involves keeping a blog to record their progress. Any ideas? Thanks for the help. Daniel.

What are the consequences of using latest JQuery?
by Eric Mckenna 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

I needed to use the latest JQuery release for my front page, so I was able to replace the core's version with the latest for only page-front.tpl.php. Later on during development, another developer decided to do the same replacement in page.tpl.php. I know this is a bad idea, but I how do I support that it's a bad idea? I see that some small issues with collapsible fieldsets on the admin and edit pages, but for the most part things work fine. What am I missing?? Thanks. Eric.

Primary Links and Menu
by Tom Holmes Jr. 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Yes, I am a newbie to Drupal and PHP, but I'm been a Java/J2EE developer for a number of years now, so I can code and read API's. I just took a Drupal Bootcamp course in Cambridge, MA, so at least I think my questions won't be completely out of whack. In many themes ... it seems the Primary links are across the top somehow, with or without drop down menus ... And it seems there is minimal Menu navigation on left-sidebar. I'd really like to have my primary links on my left-sidebar ... so do I have to put that in a block? Is there a theme that already does that, or something simpler? Is there any PHP or CSS I need to manipulate? Thanks! Tom

Same node, multiple places
by Larry Garfield 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hi folks. I'm trying to figure out the cleanest way to set this up. I have a site that is actually kinda sorta 2 sites. It doesn't make sense to make it a multi-site, really, but it needs to give the impression of multiple sites, visually. For the most part that's easy; just base the template file off of the path for the sub-site. (/ and /journal in my case). However, the client wants news items (news nodes) to appear on both "sites", with each one having its own visual appearance. That is, at /news/$nid it uses the main site template, while at /journal/news/$nid it uses the sub-site's template. Is there a good way to do that? So far my best guess is to use something like Panels 2 to create a panel at each location that has only one pane, which is the node specified by an argument. Of course, I haven't actually worked with Panels 2 yet, just seen Earl's demos, so I'm not sure if that's actually a reasonable plan. Is there some better way? (This site will be built on Drupal 6; it's just in planning stages now, so I want to figure out what I'll be doing in 3 months to build it. <g>) --Larry Garfield

Mass Categorisation of Images
by John P. 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi, Im working on a drupal project where I have large masses of images to be categorised... I was wondering if there was a way I could do this without having to upload them individually. I tried image import, but that does not give the option to categorise. The images are in the thousands so individual tagging is not quite feasible. I wanted to group the images (according to event) in albums and was wondering how to go about this. Thanks. Pherowze
