All things Drupal.

Most of the plugins I want to install, results with an error. Can it be because of windows hosting.

What is the deal with synonyms in Drupal? I add them to vocabulary terms, but that does not seem to effect the search. So why is there a place to put them in? How do you leverage them?
Synonyms are meant to define other terms that relate to the parent term, like a thesaurus. Core does not use them, but contributed modules make use of them. For your specific use case (exposing them to search), try the Synonyms module: http://drupal.org/project... - Mark Trapp
Thanks, Mark, we'll look into this. - Laura Norvig

Looking for examples of sites using Fivestar. I know lots of sites use it - just want to grab a variety of screenshots showing how its implemented/themed.
Here's a videocast about creating a view that could be helpful: http://www.lullabot.com/files... - Laura Norvig
Further documentation: http://drupal.org/handboo... - Laura Norvig
Here's an interesting node example. You can see that users who are not logged in can rate the node, but cannot comment. That might be our implementation as well. - Laura Norvig
Here's another node on a different site that works that way also: http://www.thenursery.com/learn... - Laura Norvig
I was able to add fivestar to my Drupal playground at home. It's super easy and you can choose from among a few basic layouts (below the node or on top, as I chose): http://www.bloodsisters.com/content... - Laura Norvig

"Drupal is one of the most popular CMSs out there, and it’s no surprise considering how extensible it is. You can customize almost every aspect of it through the use of themes, plugins, and a little custom coding. Below are more than 150 resources to help you do just that, from themes to plugins to examples of sites running on Drupal." - sofarsoShawn
With the new 6.12 release, and dabbling in it a bit: easy, yet complex I'm increasingly becoming convinced it's the platform of choice. - sofarsoShawn

Is it comforting or disturbing that so many drupal websites look so similar? Sometimes I miss original design. (via http://friendfeed.com/lauran...)
I could care less. It's the features that matter. - Rob Safuto
Being able to develop a unique theme is challenging - and so most people use a packaged theme. - LPH™ and his dog P™
What LPH said. Although, for corporate-run sites, just using a pre-designed theme with no mods is pretty lame. - Chris Charabaruk '_'
Disturbing, because in the long term it hurts Drupal. A good back-end is only one half of a site, a good front end is needed as well. The fact that custom themes seem harder to make certainly hurts there being more designs in the first place. Seems harder = people less likely to do it. I'm hoping, at least from what I'm seeing right now, that the Drupal 7 UX project will help to solve some of these problems. - Dean Clark
Chris Chua
Looks like something is wrong on Drupal.org.

yep, for me as well... just as i'm about to install a new site, and want to look for a theme - Philippe
I've seen many "Apache Solr unavailable" messages on Drupal.org over the past few weeks. Probably the Solr servlet dies at regular times due to the increased popularity of Drupal. Unfortunately there's no fall-back available when Solr is down. IMHO they should cache the faceted search results of the Modules section on Drupal.org as this data is pretty static. - Olivier Biot

minor Drupal update released, AGAIN. What a PITA. Any suggestions for streamlining the upgrades on multisite setups? - http://drupal.org/drupal-6.12
I think a proper setup of SVN will help, but have still not got all the details down - Frode Stenstrøm
A combination of http://drupal.org/project... and Acquia Drupal's SVN allows me to update a site in like 30 seconds :) - Mikkel Høgh
Mikkel, is there a writeup somewhere of how this is done? - James Beake
thanks for posting, i'll share it with my sysadmin. Anyone have any other techniques for streamlining/automating the update process? - Ryan Stanley

"Drupal 6.12 and 5.18, maintenance releases fixing problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as a critical security vulnerability, are now available for download. Both releases fix some other smaller issues as well. Upgrading your existing Drupal 5 and 6 sites is strongly recommended." - Thierry R. Andriamirado via Bookmarklet

check that you don't have subscription moderation enabled. This tripped me up over the weekend when I upgraded the subscriptions module. - James Beake

PC Pro blog: I’m sorry but Dreamweaver is dying
"Dreamweaver is dying. Long live Drupal." - Andrew Roche via Bookmarklet
I totally agree with this… because of open-source CMS' Dreamweaver is more easily replaced by apps like Coda. Against them Dreamweaver feels very much overpriced and overweight. - Akeem Williams
You are right about it being overweight, it feels really clunky to use and by default generates some frightful HTML. - Andrew Roche
Although Drupal's default theme isn't the best either ;) Maybe Zen should be the default. - Andrew Roche
I think a lot of web designers would get a rude wake-up call if they transitioned from Dreamweaver to Drupal. To create a custom theme in Drupal does require lines of code: there is no WYSIWYG interface that hides CSS, HTML, and PHP code snippets. I think it's time to see a transition from web designers doing everything (including implementation) to just sticking to design and letting web developers implement. - Mark Trapp
What I've personally seen as a result of Drupal is the rise of people (called Themers in the Drupal community) that sit somewhere between web designers and full-blown developers. - Akeem Williams
Dreamweaver has been dead for a long time dude. :-) - Josh Katinger
