General discussion

I'm trying to get a multi-language site up and running, and would like to look at using the i18n module. However, after installing it apparently successfully, when I activate the block, instead of getting a nice "language" menu, I get this message:

warning: call_user_func_array(): First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, 'i18n_links' was given in C:\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\drupal\includes\theme.inc on line 219.

Some help would be appreciated, perhaps some more detailed installation instructions for non-PHP types like me who don't want to understand the code? :?

Hi, sorry I'm using this forum but I need help fast. I've spent about 2 days working on the meta tag module that was created and that part works find. The query uses the $path variable to retrieve data. Upon investigation, it seems that the $path variable is empty. Has this been deprecated? Is there something else I can use to get the $path variable. I am totally stumped.

I added a new block to have some links to other pages on my site, and the table contents is set to 'center'. Is there a way for me to change it to left align? Any help would be appreciated, I've been through all the options and searched these forums but haven't had any luck.

I would love to have my forum readable over NNTP. Is there a module for drupal that provides an nntp interface to newsgroups, or an nntp server that can deliver drupal's forum to newsreaders?

I am really a fetishist for names. I think that they can make a lot of difference to the success of a product or community. If you have a catchy name that has positive images then that can make more difference than some good code.

In this respect, I am keen on the name "Drupal."

It seems to combine:
1) Humour - there is somethign funny about it.
2) Something a little technological (the p and the l reminiscent of perl? or the usually adjectival form being used in a noun?)
3) Sufficent uniqueness so that it can googled easily.
4) The use of the sound "oo" (droo-puhl) which seems to occur in more than one popular net name such as: Yahoo, Google, Movable Type, Moodle (the top category search, the top search, the top EMs, the top blog).

By "the top blog" I don't mean that function-wise Movable Type is best. But its name, its community, its userfriendli-ness and functionality amounted to a package that hit.

The slightly sad think about the name Drupal is that it has little connection with the function except to dutch speakers

and then only tenuously. Yahoo! is what one says when one finds something. Google (from the number) suggests the plethora of web hits. Moodle is to peruse something. Movable Type is obviously associated with its function.

My appraisal of the names of the competition. What do you think?

How does taxonomy concretely affect the structure of a drupal site? I know that by having a forum type that can have a parent, you can create forums that are "embedded" in other forums. What are other examples.
