ok i have been looking around for about two days trying to find where the " Drupal " as the site name comes from.

The only code i see is this:

<h1 id='site-name'>
            <a href="<?php print $base_path ?>" title="<?php print t('') ?>">
              <?php print $site_name ?>
            </a>
          </h1>

this tells me that it is getting the var #site_name but where is the code that sets that var???

sorry if this questions has been posted before

OK bare with me here as I'm not entirely sure how to explain this.

I understand you can build a custom .install profile that allows for modules and blocks to be enabled on a fresh Drupal installation but i fear its over complex for the average user (including myself) to write these files. Also documentation is pretty sparse to be honest.

I wonder if there is some type of way of developing the basic site (complete with sample content) and then running a module that creates the .install file for you minus its own entity. This would allow you to establish Turnkey type sites that are already well on their way to being set up and usuable right out of the box. An aim i assume for the .install files in the first place.

So for instance drupal has all the toys to make a very nice estore but setting up the ecommerce modules can be a royal pain. If an experienced admin could set up the basics with some sample content, it would be easy for anyone else to pick up the installation .install file and modules, install with a fresh copy of drupal and bingo, basic store in a few minutes without the need for complex setting up.

Views too would be a real asset here as the learning curve for anything but very basic stuff can be quite steep.

Is there anything we can do to do this ?

I have just installed latest PHPBB 3 RC 4. I just one to confirm if i install DRUPAL as my CMS, is it possible to integrate the forum with drupal. Any working bridge available for the drupal and phpbb 3.

I would like to allow my users to register with out providing an email address. Ever! My reason is that if you require an email address on a children's website then you are required by FCC rules to notify their parents. By not collecting any "identifying" information you can avoid this.
