I have been to Given To Wail lately and a page comes up that says, "Drupal", and gives you a login section. Does anyone have any idea what is going on there. I know the site was hacked, and am patiently awaiting its return, but have not really heard any news whatsoever coming through on here, so I am asking for some replies from you guys.

  • I think it's just the system that they use to host the site and store all the data and tabs. You can't log in, that's just for the guys running the site.

    From Wiki -
    Drupal (pronounced /ˈdruːpəl/) is a free and open source[1] Content Management System (CMS) written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License.[2][3] It is used as a back-end system for many different types of websites, ranging from small personal blogs to Enterprise 2.0 collaboration and knowledge management uses to large corporate and political sites.[4] High-traffic Drupal-based websites include ubuntu.com and seobook.com.[5] In October 2009, the administration of U.S. president Barack Obama adopted Drupal for the official Whitehouse.gov website.[6][7][8]

    The standard release of Drupal, known as Drupal core, contains basic features common to most CMSs. These include the ability to register and maintain individual user accounts within a flexible and rich permission / privilege system, create and manage menus, RSS-feeds, customize page layout, perform logging, and administer the system. As installed, Drupal provides options to create a classic brochureware website, a single- or multi-user blog, an Internet forum, or a community website providing for User-generated content.

    Drupal was also designed to allow new features and custom behavior to be added to extend Drupal's core capabilities. This is done via installation of plug-in modules (known as contrib modules) created and contributed to the project by open source community members. For this reason, Drupal is sometimes described as a content management framework.[2] Drupal is also described[9] as a web application framework, as it meets the generally accepted feature requirements for such frameworks.

    Although Drupal offers a sophisticated programming interface for developers, no programming skills are required for basic website installation and administration.[10]

    Drupal can run on any computing platform that supports both a web server capable of running PHP version 4.3.5+ (including Apache, IIS, Lighttpd, and nginx) and a database (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL) to store content and settings.[3]
    The reality is in this head. Mine. I'm the projector at the planetarium, all the closed little universe visible in the circle of that stage is coming out of my mouth, eyes, and sometimes other orifices also.

  • Thanks! Guess I figured as much, but just had to hear it from someone else. I had made a few comments on other posts and recieved no replies at all and was suprised that their are not thousands of guitarists jonesin like me for GTW, especially the new stuff. I am an Axl Rose impersonator in a casino, but am getting bored and I want to do Eddie Vedder (yeah, get to play and sing onstage each break before I deal cards...it pays the bills...lol) and I go to Given To Wail, the only reliable PJ tab site, and some jack....hacks it. Now I am jonesin like crazy....want to try em all and see what I can do (Elderly, Long Road, Immortality all I have now...minus some covers..Driftin, Don't be shy, Hide your love). Any good links anyone knows of that aren't tabbed by my little brother? And Thanks again
  • This site is generally very good. Just look for highly rated versions of any song you want.
