General discussion

Hi

We are running drupal on an apache server alongside another php/mysql based open source application called TUTOS (http://www.tutos.org). We would like to have a single login across both applications. When I say that I mean that when someone logs in, he is logged in to both systems.

How can I do to install a forum like this one in my Drupal driven Web site?
Regards from Spain and thanks in advance.

I feel a little silly asking this, but where do I configure the settings for new user authentication - the options for approval and email confirmation, etc.? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks for the help on this utterly newbie question.

I'm trying to setup a directory listing of group members, with a profile for each member including pictures. Is Drupal's user profile module flexible enough to accept multiple custom fields without chopping at the code?

All,

OK, I've tried this really really hard, and tried reading through the Drupal book on the subject, but I just keep getting nowhere.

Basically, I have NEVER gotten a patch to work. Here's a good example.

I read the Issues Log of PoorMansCron over at http://drupal.org/node/view/7513, and it says to fix it to use the patch.

So I download the poormanscron.patch file and put it in the same directory as poormanscron.module in an otherwise empty directory in my Linux box.

Has anybody gotten a look at Oracle's patent on CMSs? It looks like Oracle is trying to claim a patent on any Web tool that uses a database to generate content and classify it. Any IP lawyers know what's going on? What are the implications for Drupal? Drupal users?
