No Drupal For Stuffr. Yet.

I love Drupal. I used it here for a while, but it ended up being more cms than I really needed, otherwise I would still be using it.
Before I started development of Stuffr, I knew I wanted it to work with Drupal's taxonomy structure. So tonight I decided to install Drupal so I could begin that development.
It turns out Drupal no longer likes me, or something like that. I tried installing it twice with Fantastico, and got
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_add_css() in /home/alligato/public_html/test3/modules/node/node.module on line 1172
when I tried to adjust the settings. Then, after upgrading to 5.1, I got
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: module_exists() in /home/alligato/public_html/test3/modules/node/node.module on line 1083
when clicking the link to the main page. I decided to install it manually, but I got the second error again the first time I clicked the modules link under administration.
I don't believe I was doing anything wrong, since I was simply installing the software and then clicking the administration links, so I guess Drupal support will have to wait until I have more time to find out why I was getting that error, every time.

Speaking of Stuffr, I have a couple of questions.
I know that you can save a copy of your posts to your hard drive. Are you planning to make the file name be generated based on the post title, or are you planning to keep it as the user having to name the .stf when they go to save? I know arguments for either side, but I was curious to hear which way you were planning to take/keep that.
On editing posts, it seems that you can't edit the post on the server — Stuffr will instead create a new post. Is there a way to properly edit that I'm missing, or is that forthcoming?
Finally, I'm noticing that tags from posts I put up in Stuffr aren't being seen at Technorati. My best guess is that it's because the client doesn't ping http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping and/or http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2. Any plans along these lines?
Otherwise, I'm very happy with the client like I've been saying. It really is a great piece of software, and you did a fabo job!

Hi Chris,
I hadn't thought about generating the file name when saving a post, but that is a good idea. The next version will generate the file name based on the title, allowing the user to modify it if needed before saving.
Editing posts is coming soon. :) That is one of the few remaining planned features.
Pinging technorati and/or other services is another feature that is coming very soon.
I am glad you like Stuffr. Thanks again. :)
