  • Rotating images

    Hi again.

    Time to pick your brains some more. I am wanting to have some space on one of my pages where there are rotating images. So the image will change nicely every few seconds.

    Now - I know there are a few ways of doing this - I could make a flash movie, or just have it so the image changes every time the page refreshes or force the page to refresh every however often.

    My question - what is the best way of doing it!? Is there a Drupal module I can use and if so - which one?!

    I know the flash idea would work but really I would like it so that my author can upload images to a folder and have them including in the rotation.

    What do you reckon?
    Cheers.

  • Styling the Search element

    Hey there.

    I am trying to work on a post 2000 (!) website using Drupal and am currently not liking the default Search button and box. I would like to style the result of the call to print search box.

    Did that make sense and is it possible?!

    Thanks in advance.
    Andy.

    Right then.

    The following link should take you to my church website. I designed it for fun when I was learning Wordpress and CSS things. I then showed it to a friend who said the church wanted a website so I should show it to the vicar. He said go for it and we did. Since then it has gone through periods of use and not use. At the moment it's a bit quiet.

    The reason I am posting it for help is because I would like to make a new site but I've never had any 'real' feedback about this one. Just church members saying things like "Thanks for the website" and "Well done with the website".

    I know it is guilty of many things in terms of bad design but I would like to know the main things you guys reckon should be improved.

    At the moment it's a Wordpress site but I am going to use Drupal for the new one.

    Thanks for any comments.
    Regards,
    Andy

  • php.ini files

    Ok - quick question - sorry again if it's basic! I'm not really a fully fledged geek yet - just a wanna be geek who is trying to pick things up. So - here goes.

    I need to change the maximum file upload size allowed on my websites. I believe the way to do this is through the php.ini file but I don't know where this it!

    Is it something I need to contact my host about or should I be able to find it somewhere? Or, better yet, can I make a new 'part' to a php.ini file within a new php.ini within the directory I want to use for uploads (kinda like a .htaccess file for directory)

    Hope that wasn't all complete rubbish.
    Any suggestions appreciated!

  • Build a website

    Ok - sorry for being a bit slow - I have just stumbled across this site and like it so far.

    Late last night, when I first came across your site I happened upon a mini series about making a church website. And now I can't find it.

    Anyone know the thing I mean?!
