All,

I have made some changes to the aggregator.module so that news feed items expire at a configurable time. I have it working in two places and need some folks to test it out.

The code can be found at http://www.jasonn.com/aggregatorx_released

I would like to commit this to the v4.5.x and v4.6.x core once tested and approved.

HI I want to hide the register menu item of the user.module through a different module:

Specifically I want to hide user/register:

I'm hosting a couple of Drupal sites with an ISP that virtual hosts with Apache 1.3, and uses a configuration where any URL for a domain that starts with /admin gets shunted to their configuration interface long before Drupal will see it. This is making it a little hard to configure Drupal.

I have upgraded from 4.4.1 to 4.5.2 and my theme from an old xtemplate design to a variation of the pushbutton xtemplate design. I am now having problems with the black bar that counts votes being offset and displayed below the avatar/picture. The gray bar runs behind the picture/avatar, but the black bar is placed below it. This is an issue because the black bar displaying the votes for option 1 appears to be displaying the results of option 2. I did not change the xtemplate engine or .xtmpl file to create this problem, nor have I edied the poll.module file.

This is a patch I made for the captcha module.

Since the captcha can only be read using graphical browsers, I thought of this idea to enable users with textish browsers to read the captcha code too.

It's not secure though.
Since the captcha code gets printed in a HTML tag (that's how textish browsers can read it), a script can read the code and bypass your captcha protection.
I don't recommend applying the patch if you are going to use captcha in anything other than fighting spam comments :).
