I was wondering something about Drupal support. I know it's a pest to support a product when the questions are dull or when the people who ask the questions don't read up on the site about the problem first, but, the current feeling I get (not sure of anyone else) is that people become sort-of intimidated by the thought of sending to the support list, because of the fact that they will either NOT get reaction, or the reaction would be something to make the submitter feel stupid. As I said, the visitor is however often at fault for not reading the documentation before submitting a fault/support request, and I myself have done it before.
I notice that in 4.2 you've removed any ability for the user to enter their own teaser. They can now only, and in a not particularly friendly manner, select a portion of the body to display as a teaser. I believe this is a big mistake as it limits drupal to only dealing with fairly amateur concerns. No professional publications would simply have the first few lines of a piece as the teaser. For many applications of drupal the user will certainly want more control over the teaser.
I'm thinking of implementing a petition module. Is anyone currently working on this? Also, I haven't dug too deeply into the module code, can someone suggest a module that might make a good template?
Decided to gather some useful tips that I've used while building my site http://100777.com
Let's call it "Tips'n'Tricks for a newbie by a newbie". Additions are more than
welcome.
Is there a hack available which would allow Users to choose their own password, rather then being e-mailed? Through a search I found that this question has been raised before(http://drupal.org/node/view/1959). That post specifies the code which handles the registration process, but does not imply there is a hack.
If there is a hack available, I'd appreciate someone to point me to it. Thanks!
