Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
On my site I couldn't find an easy way to open any node listed on the front page. If the content was long enough, you got a "read more" link. If is was short, but there were comments, it wasn't so easy. So I hacked on the theme I was using, in this case Polder.theme. In the node() function where the title prints out, I added a little code before and after.
htmlArea is a WYSIWYG editor to replace textareas. If you want to see it working, add a comment to this blog. You need to use MS IE 5.5 or above on Windows with JavaScript enabled, but that's a small price. (A future version will support Mozilla 1.3 on any platform.)
It was very simple to do. Details of what I did are explained in the blog entry.
Update: with Drupal 4.4, MSSQL is not supported because we have no maintainer for this piece of the application. If you wish to update the database.mssql schema and get MSSQL working again, please send a note to the drupal-devel mail list.
The CVS version of Drupal has recently been enhanced such that Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) database joins MySQL and Postgres as a compatible database server.
Microsoft SQL Server is a very capable, reliable, and popular database platform. These recent Drupal enhancements welcome many more potential users - especially corporate/enterprise users. Windows-centric organizations may now run Drupal on IIS and SQL Server if they wish.
Installation instructions are in the Handbook.

At this point, MSSQL compatibility is lightly tested. Please do post bug reports in the Bug Tracker. Also, modules in the Contrib repository will often fail on MSSQL.
