Hello everyone, I've got a problem with Nice menus. The drop down menus increase the length of the block. Also, the menus do not disappear on mouse out. Any suggestions please?

From what I understand, in the WordPress world it is a fairly common thing to change the path of the user login page in order to harden the site because this helps prevent bots from finding the login page in the first place. The other thing that is commonly done is to change the preassigned admin username to something else.

I myself have wondered about how this might be done with Drupal, and have never found an answer. Although to be honest, i never looked that hard. So if you do find the answer, or if someone knows the answer to this, please post it back here.

<http://drupal.org/project/rename_admin_paths> This module allows you to: - rename path like '/admin/...' to '/something/...' - rename path like '/user/..' to '/something else/..' It can be effective against registration spam bots or malicious people. This small module just implements hook_outbound_alter and hook_inbound_alter to rename paths.

This module allows you to:

- rename path like '/admin/...' to '/something/...' - rename path like '/user/..' to '/something else/..'

It can be effective against registration spam bots or malicious people.

This small module just implements hook_outbound_alter and hook_inbound_alter to rename paths. A settings form allows to choose replacement term for "admin" and "user". I have just implemented this. It works as advertised!

FYI: I have clients and potential clients that are 1)Paranoid - citing good reason 2)Extremely security conscious - citing good reason 3)Suspicious of PHP - http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rasmus_Lerdorf doesn't help things. 4)Suspicious of CMS systems. (drupal, however - regardless of the core language is well spoken of by members of the same community, one of the reasons I chose to learn it) This module is going to help me overcome much of the above. Furthermore it is illustrative of drupal's rich store of resources. I included the enumerated items not to encourage controversy but to point out the push back that I am working to overcome. :) I'm not as paranoid as they are.... Thanks again for the support. You all keep up the good work. cheers -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:33:02 -0800 From: Prothero William <waprothero@gmail.com> Subject: [support] Calculating the hashed user password To: "support@drupal.org" <support@drupal.org> Message-ID: <CB050206-46A3-43F8-814B-80485D2FAB07@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Folks: I have an external application (a Shockwave movie) that uses my Drupal site for user verification and interaction.

My application compares the entered password with the Drupal password. This was pretty straightforward with Drupal 6, which used MD5 encryption. Now it uses SHA512.

I ran into a problem some time ago where if modules like workbench and others were not installed the fresh install crashed. Workbench is a pain for us. Reasons I'm asking are: -- that I need to set up a newsletter creation and mail out system that takes calendar events and dates, locations of events,, quotations, book references and some text content to be used in a view in the second installation to out put to the newsletter. I have tried for days to get simplenews and newsletter working in a copy of the original system but there are a huge number of modules in there and something is causing the WSOD default to the Stark theme in both <Create new content type> and configurations for simplenews. I did a fresh install of d7.19 on my home system and installed required modules for a trial. I find that simplenews and the email systems work well as expected. I'm reluctant to do anything in the original working/live system - I reckon some modules don't play nice with others but have no way of knowing. I would appreciate help on how best to go about this please thank you in advance Roger ------------------------------ -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ] End of support Digest, Vol 121, Issue 36 ****************************************
