Lets talk about open source

I am wanting to learn some hacking, I am fairly good with php. I am curious if that is a good language to know of hacking? Also if decent exploits can be written in it?

I am using Drupal 6 to make a private company portal. When a user visits the drupal page I want them to be presented with a simple login box. They should not be able to gain access to the portal until they successfully authenticate.

What is the best way to do this? I’m having trouble finding a module/settings to set it up this way.

Thanks for your help.

I searched a lot but couldn’t find any tutorial on How to make friend request and add as friend system using php mysql. I’m searching for this topic for last 6 months. Finally I’m requesting you guys if you know about any please tell me.

Can anyone show me how to have a button which the users can click to subscribe.

I am building an education portal with features like forums,blog, rss feeds,Ugc, Social Networking and some basic personalisation.I am thinking of using an open source CMS for the same but i am not able to decide which one should i go for.A few cms that i have in mind are Drupal, opencms, joomla,jetspeed and Mambo. I would really appreciate if someone could suggest (with reasoning) which one should i go for.It would be really nice if the suggested cms is other than the one’s i’ve listed. To get some basic idea of what the portal will be like you can check out http://100rupees.com as a fyi this is built using drupal.

using joomla
am actually trying to embed a google form. its still not working help!

I am looking to build a website and am currently using Drupal. I am having a problem finding a theme that is simplified, and like the look of Apple.com and Nike.com for their home pages, however I am not sure what was used to build them.

Any help?

We would like add an online album to our client’s internal site where they can upload our pictures and use tools similar what we see in Facebook or Shutterfly. When viewing pictures it will options like Slideshow, Full Screen, etc. Are there any public domain or shareware code [not too expensive] or script available?

Thank you.

I’ve tried what it has said on their website on the terminal then i’ve gotten to the point where it says that i need to do this part but it just keeps on saying command not found?

Finally, download the Drupal software to your Downloads folder. You can obtain it from this address:

http://drupal.org/project/drupal

Now that we’ve got our software installed and downloaded, we’ll need to configure it.

First, you’ll probably need to add a line to your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file. I’ve read differing things about this, but I have found in my own testing that Drupal would not function properly without it, since Apache did not properly interpret the PHP pages otherwise. To edit apache2.conf, use the following command:

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

(Note that it’s a good idea to back up any system configuration file before editing it. You can do so quickly by using sudo cp /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ~/Desktop to save a copy to your Desktop. You can of course use vi or emacs or the editor of your choice, but most new users seem to prefer gedit’s GUI.)

^ thats the part i have got to on this website: http://askubuntu.com/questions/36221/whats-the-easiest-way-to-install-drupal-locally

but i dont know how to get around it, its very frustrating! is there anyway i can download drupal off a website and when i unpack the files that it installs straight away such as a .deb file or something, i’m only a beginner at using Ubuntu for using Drupal too.

Please help asap!!

I’m trying to create a RSS feed for a website that does not use a Drupal or Wordpress installation. What is the simplest way to do this, through software such as Adobe Dreamweaver CS3?
