Hi, looking to add similar menus to those in the footer of the Drupal.org website. Would someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of a Howto write up. Thanks. Alison

My admin pages have disappeared
by James Rome 05 Feb '14

Links such as /drupal/admin and /drupal/admin/people have disappeared (page not found). I can administer using the drop-down menu and overlays, but many pages (e.g., editing an account) return me to the non-overlay pages, and I get an error message. What did I do wrong? Thanks, Jim Rome

Appearingly your IP-Blacklist should grow on the Server-side as much as the number of your Spammers too... :-) I guess your options are quite limited here... Greets Gee.

Question on keeping the bad guys out
by john boris 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I am working on a new site (Drupal 7) and I have reCaptcha module installed which includes the image captcha as well. This still isn't keeping out the gnats trying to get logins. I have the site set that all new users need to verified with a valid email and the admin needs to authorize the new user but it still hasn't stopped them. I am looking for other ideas where I can limit these issues. I am getting about 15 a day and they seem to be growing. I have a few mandatory fields setup but I don't want to make it totally a pain for new users to put in the valid info. This might be just a cost of having the thing open for new users but if anyone can give me some other ideas on how to stem the tide I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. -- John J.

I like hidden-captcha a lot. It's invisible to visitors but is pretty effective against bots. I have one bot a day that gets through. I've also added a mandatory profile question. The label on mine just says "say something so i know you're real". The bots insert junk. If you have a commercial site, CDN and DDoS blocking services like Cloudflare and DosArrest block bots because the bots don't have the same connection signature. Plus you get the performance upgrades of a CDN and site monitoring. -- -Don Pickerel- Fane Software I am working on a new site (Drupal 7) and I have reCaptcha module installed which includes the image captcha as well.

Estimate for photo competition development
by Roger 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

The question , to me is, does the site need a CMS or plain html pages. Anyone can create web sites in dreamweaver in a couple of hours then walk away from ensuing difficulties. Most dreamweaver wannabees have no idea of security and couldn't care less about on going adjustments. If a site needs content management the the questions - to what extent, who provides ongoing admin, etc, arise. Cheap site makers are a dime a dozen, finding them after the fact means the company didn't look or did look and want to screw you down. I think you are very reasonable, maybe a little on the light side. Cheers Roger Hi Guys, Would you kindly let me know if I'm overcharging: I estimated 30 hours for development of a Photographic Competition for a private nature reserve (www.jejane.co.za) including graphic work, etc... @ R400 /hour = total R12,000 (which is roughly $1,100.) It has 2 separate categories each month. And I quoted a further 30 hours for maintenance for the year. Or 2.5 hours per month. This was accepted by the board, but since invoicing there are complaints that an entire website can be done for R6,000, so why is it so expensive (huh?) What would you estimate for a similar development, including graphics and everything? Also, It's not really finished, so if you have any comments and constructive criticism I'd really appreciate any input. Thanks in advance for any help here. Kind regards, -- Jeff Brown
