Tested on: Zen theme, Drupal 5.7

1. Copy function theme_links from includes/themes.inc
2. Paste it into your template.php
3. Rename it in theme_primarylinks (or anything you want)
4. In your page.tpl.php, change
   1. print theme(’links’, $primary_links);
   2. to print theme(’primarylinks’, $primary_links);
5. Apply some changes to theme_primarylinks to customize your primary links.

According to theme manual, for any first argument passed to theme function a theme_functionname function is called.

In contemplate and views, $node->path return current page path. But this variable is only available to users with “administer alias” permission, so as administrator you can view links, but as normal user you cannot use them.

Here a $node->path alternative:

l(strip_tags($node->title),"node/".$node->nid)

Since $node->title is raw input, strip_tags strips all HTML tags.
A node/$node->nid links to article. Drupal link function returns the (in case) aliased path.

Tested on:

• Drupal 5.x (Profile module included)
• Token
• Personalized E-mails 5.x-1.0

1. In token module directory, rename token_user.inc to token_user.inc.orig
2. Copy pmail/patches/token_user.inc in  Token module directory
3. Go to Personalized E-mails setting and watch your profile fields as tokens.

1. In your Drupal site, go to admin/settings/uploads
2. Raise upload limits. If the value you want to insert is greater than PHP allowed value:
3. On bottom of your .htaccess file (drupal/.htaccess) add these lines:
   # upload settings
# cfr. http://it.php.net/manual/it/function.ini-set.php
php_value post_max_size 50M
php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value memory_limit 128M
   Change values as you wish.
4. Return to admin/settings/uploads and watch changes on PHP limit.

I use YSlow to check a Drupal site performance. Here some tips to get an A with Drupal 5.x.

Step 1: Fewer HTTP requests:

• Aggregate CSS (/admin/settings/performance)
• Aggregate JS with Javascript Aggregator (experimental). To avoid JavaScript errors in some modules (i.e. TinyMCE), you can use the dirscard list patch by derjochenmeyer on the dev version (it’ll be added to the next release). To Drupal 6.x users: Drupal 6.x comes with a native JS Aggregator support, so you don’t need an additional module.
• Reduce CSS background images: select carefully your theme.

Step 2: Compress pages on-the-fly:
Many modern browsers support Gzip compression. Through .htaccess, you can tell your server to serve gzipped HTML pages, JavaScript and CSS files (or any other text file, since images like JPG and PNG are compressed natively). You can use two approach, depending on your server settings, just add on bottom of your .htaccess:

1. PHP flag method (compress only php served pages):
   # via-PHP compression (only with compatible browsers)
php_flag zlib.output_compression On
2. Apache mod_deflate method (preferred method where available)
   # Enable file compression by MIME type
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
# Exclude Not compatible browsers (uncomment to activate)
# BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
# BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
# BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
   Using this method, you can compress HTML pages, JavaScript, CSS files specifying ;MIME type
