Drupal 6.x
Drupal 6.2 released, fixing security issues
Drupal 6.2, a maintenance release that fixes problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as security vulnerabilities is now available for download. The security issues identified were in code new to Drupal 6, and are therefore not applicable to sites running on Drupal 5.
Upgrading your existing Drupal 6 sites is strongly recommended. There are no new features in this release, but we fixed some notable performance issues too. For more information about the Drupal 6.x release series, consult the Drupal 6.0 release announcement.
Drupal for digital humanities project (portal)
Hello,
I am looking at the possible technical solutions for the creation of a scholarly website/ portal to be created at my institute that consists of a collection of links to other websites. Each bookmark in this collection has a description and multiple tags and a user should be able to both browse the collection or do a search in which mutliple tags can be combined. At the moment we are using a del.icio.us account to collect and tag bookmarks. We would also need RSS feeds for new content that ideally can be generated on the basis of a tag (or multiple tags). Finally, ideally users could leave comments on the site.
I know that a Delicious module exists for Drupal but have no idea of it can be customised for this purpose. Or perhaps it would be better to opt for a different approach?
Any suggestions are very welcome,
Thanks and with best regards,
Gerben Zaagsma
effects of changing URL of homepage?
Hi
I just converted a website from static to Drupal 6. The homepage of the static site was just www.mysite.com Now the homepage is www.mysite.com/node and Google has dumped the tiny rating I had. I know how to change the front page node under administer/siteinformation, but I don't know what affect it has. Ultimately, I would like to truncate the homeapage to www.mysite.com but calling it www.mysite.com/index.html would do it, too.
Will that mess up all the other functions, ie 'promote to frontpage' and sticky?
I know there is an easy answer and I'm overthinking this one but I searched the forums and couldn't find it.

Drupal site with specific functionality development
Hi,
I need a modern-looking, web 2 graphic etc, site developed which meets the following criteria:
There will be two 'types' of users on my site: Customers and Cleaners.
Customers can log in to post a 'job' by filling in a form which various fields such as address, postcode, number of rooms, floor covering (tiles, carpet) and various other questions. Each job is automatically assigned a job number by the site.
Cleaners can log in and set up a 'profile' which is done filling in a form with details such as address, whether they have insurance (yes/no) and other related questions.
Once they have set this up they can view all jobs, excluding certain fields such as telephone number and exact address. The site has a telephone number associated with it that cleaners can then phone up and quote the job number they saw on the site.
Some of the functionality I require is on a website called www.mybuilder.com...this site has a method of contact between traders and clients...this is not something my site needs as contact is via telephone.
The site I wish to develop needs to have a search by post code (there will only be one type of trade (cleaners) so the list down the side will not be needed etc:
similar to that on mybuilder.com (http://www.mybuilder.com/job/invitetradesmen?trade=0&postcode=sw11+1qg)
job list:
similar to: http://www.mybuilder.com/job/list
Overwriting title of menu local task doesn't work
Hi,
I want to overwrite the 'Edit' title of the user-menu to 'Account'. If I do so in the user module it works:
$items['user/%user_category/edit']['title'] = 'Account';
But if I write this in my own module nothing happens...
White screen during installation
Helo,
I'm trying to install Drupal 6.2 from Linux server. When all files are uploaded to WEBROOT/dev, I call from my browser but nothing happen.
Then, I give absolute path dev/install.php. The first installation page showed but when go to dev/install.php?profile=default&locale=en everything is only white page.
when I try using XAMPP in my PC, installation works very good.
Did I do something wrong?
Any advice given appreciated ^^.
Cheers
