I see that it's been well over a year since the last comment and I'm assuming I'm quite a bit late so far as that goes, but I stumbled across this looking to migrate from Drupal 6.x to WordPress 3 (at the time of writing, a beta is available). The file that needs to be changed is here: root/modules/system/system.admin.inc On line 1446 this line appears: '#options' => drupal_map_assoc(array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30)), All I did was add '999' as another value in the #options array, so that it looked like this: '#options' => drupal_map_assoc(array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 999)), Then, refreshing your Drupal admin, you will find that '999' is now the bottom picklist value that appears under your RSS settings... voila! H! I see that it’s been well over a year since the last comment and I’m assuming I’m quite a bit late so far as that goes, but I stumbled across this looking to migrate from Drupal 6.x to WordPress 3 (at the time of writing, a beta is available).

The file that needs to be changed is here: root/modules/system/system.admin.inc

On line 1446 this line appears:

‘#options’ => drupal_map_assoc(array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30)),

All I did was add ’999′ as another value in the #options array, so that it looked like this:

‘#options’ => drupal_map_assoc(array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 999)),

Then, refreshing your Drupal admin, you will find that ’999′ is now the bottom picklist value that appears under your RSS settings… voila!

Drupal is great, but it just can't hold a candle to Wordpress. My suggesting is that you go to <a href="http://www.site5.com" rel="nofollow">www.site5.com</a>, sign up with them, and when you're up and running, use they're free Fantastico to install Wordpress. It takes less than 60 seconds! Next thing you know, you're downloading Wordpress themes, installing add-ons, and doing all sorts of fancy stuff as if you <em>were</em> a programmer! Believe me. :) Hi Max,

I now have three different sites running on Wordpress, I'm helping a friend build one, and I'm launching another two more for gits and shiggles! Wordpress (.org) is just awesome. Glad to hear you safely crossed the waters! I’m so glad I did it.

It kind of feels like failing but I upgraded to Drupal 6 and had a rough time getting the content out any other way. I just did this.

I'm 90% sure I found that info on the drupal support pages, searching for "rss 999" or something like that. Once I did that, and published the file of course, I think it was pretty much all set. I vaguely recall something else - I'll try to remember and get back to you. I hope this helps - sorry. @venzie I actually don’t remember all that well, but I recall there being a config file somewhere that allowed me to simply edit that value.
