I have a content type with a Date field with repeat options. I have a certain event repeating every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for the next couple of months. However there is one Tuesday and one Wednesday that it will not be taking place. In the "Except" area it only allows me to input one date. I've tried mashing the two dates together and it gives me an error. It won't let me use comma separated dates either (commas aren't a valid character for the box). Any ideas on putting in more than one date in the "Except" area? Thanks for the help!
P.S. - I've tried it with the pop-up calendar on and off, neither way works.

I want to make it easier for users to upload avatars. I have customized the user-profile.tpl.php and would like to figure out a way to encourage users to upload an avatar. It would be an upload box with some simple message to encourage them to upload. How would this work?

Ok,
So I can honestly say that I am finally working with drupal after many years of "playing" with it. I am by no means a developer, however, some recent changes at my job have put me in a position to call the shots so to speak on a number of web related issues.
So, I am currently working on an internal drupal installation for testing and I have been reading "using drupal" best book imho.. .However, either I missed it or its not there. I want to do the following in drupal:
Have a trigger or action that will, after an article is published, send a notification with the article and any attached files in an e-mail to a specified list of users. (people do not have to be registered). This would be for media related releases and we don't want to have to ask these people to register.

I am toying with the node_import module which reads a CSV that is placed in a specified location and describes the content to be imported. When dealing with CCK file/image fields, a filename can be specified, and the file must be placed in its destination directory prior to import.
I had the notion that it might be simple enough to create a load of simple cck nodes (in my case called "artwork" with just a title and cck filefield for the image) based on the "source csv" being a simple php script which reads a directory and spits back a comma delimited list of [file name (minus extension)] as title and [filename]. Would that work? Is that simple enough to whip together?

Is this by design ? Initially, I assumed that when you added a short-cut to the bar it would be placed under the corresponding menu. Apparently they all just get tossed into the bar with no apparent order, which in my opinion will get messy and confusing. Why aren't the short-cuts placed under the corresponding menu ? It would make more logical sense to have some order to it.
ie under Reports.........status report

Starting to get acquainted with JS and Drupal's theme structure so bear with me. Some background: Essentially I have 100+ nodes that are using extra voting forms module to allow voting. I have hooked into the voting api module to modify and create custom calculations (e.g., sum, total, etc. - I realize these are these are not custom, but no need to get into the specific calcs).
I would now like to insert a javascript chart into each of those nodes to visually display the data. Each node now has 20+ separate calculations (single pieces of data) associated with it in a single SQL field within the voting api table. I have separate pages displaying views of those nodes, sorting on the different calculations. So each node chart would be displaying the data for a single calculation, you could then look down the nodes and visually see the ranking.

So here's what I am trying to accomplish and what I've tried so far.
I want my users to be able to list their interests or areas of expertise in the form of tags in their user profile, and then have other users be able to see a list that includes every interest tag from every user as a means of finding other users of similar interest. So, for example, say Steve creates a user account and decides that his interests are skydiving, SCUBA Diving, and High Diving. He uses a comma separated list to write out "skydiving, SCUBA Diving, High Diving" in the form field provided. Later he comes back to the site and goes to the "Users by Interest" page and clicks on the term SCUBA Diving, which gives him a separate page with a list of the names of all the users on the site who wrote SCUBA Diving as an interest. Clicking on any of the names takes Steve to profile page of that user.

I was wondering how to make my user's homepage their image galley? So if I have a user who is Johntattooshop, and when a visitor types in my site.com/johntattooshop i want the image gallery to show up, can anyone help me?

I'm trying to use Node Protect with Ubercart. I want to protect my products with a password.
When I create a product/page/story and click the "password protect" tab, I check off Password Protect. When I hit submit, the node saves and everything seems fine. The problem is, when I come back to the node or if I try to access it as a non-authenticated user the password screen is not coming up. When I "edit" on the node and click the "password protect tab" the "password protect check" is NOT checked.
No matter what I do, my settings are not being saved.
When I try to enter the values in again I get

I've got some page formatting issues that are going on in IE7 only. Works fine in IE8. Works fine in FF versions. Works fine in other browsers I've checked. The page is at www.mytermbroker.com. You can see that on the bottom left there is a Block View being displayed and the body is flush to the right. Also in the footer the security seal is strangely displayed on the right instead of the left. I'm trying to troubleshoot CSS but I'm stuck if anybody could help. Thanks.
