Multiple, Independent Forums on One Site?

I'd first like to mention that I'm new to Drupal, having recently installed Drupal 7.4 on a local Ubuntu machine for testing and I'm using the "Advanced Forums" module for a website primarily focused on forum discussions. With that out of the way, is there a way to have separate, independent forums on one Drupal site (as explained below)? Is this possible with Drupal and the Advanced Forum module?

For instance, what I want to do, is have it to where when someone clicks on a "News Forums" link, it brings them to a forum page, showing all of the various forums under the "news category" only. Inversely, when someone clicks on a "Support Forums" link, it brings them to a forum page showing all of the various forums under the "support category" and so on for all of the different categories, as if each category is its own separate forum module.

Ultimately, I'd like to have a forums link on the main menu, which has a drop-down menu showing all of the various categories and when someone clicks on one of those categories, it brings them to regular looking forums page, though only showing the forums under that particular category, almost as if each forum category is independent from the others.

Form textfield value not set

Hello,

I'm working with Drupal 7.x

I'm trying to create a form for an ordering sheet to use internally. The form consists of a table of items that can be ordered with each row including a textfield for quantities to be entered and then a submit button to place the order.

I can construct the form as I want it using the at the bottom of the post.

The functions first make a form with textfields for each record in the inventory, a hidden field of all of the records for parsing, and a submit button. When rendering, I loop through all of the records and render the textfield in a table with the record information.

When testing I can enter values into the textfields, but when I press the submit button, none of the values of the text fields are recorded with the $form_state. It is as though all of the textfields are empty on form submit.

There are several debugging print statements to test as well as the SQL statements for generating the database tables if anyone can help.

Thanks
Kyle

<?php
function horizontal_order_form($form_state){ //, $node){
$form = array();
//print_r($node);
//print '
Setting key value to '. $node['build_info']['args'][0]['key'];
$results = db_query('SELECT * FROM lab_inventory');

// for each row in the form we make a set of keys and fields to add to the form
$keys = array();

Use views or content type > manage display?

Hi everyone,

I have made a new views page called 'blog'. This is a simple list of blog posts with a title, body and a category (taxonomy).

I noticed that in views, selecting 'content' with a 'teaser' display does not show the categories on my blog posts on the blog page. I get the titles (which are links to the full post), the body and a 'read more' link, but no category.

When I select 'fields' instead and I check the boxes title, body and category, I get a teaser WITH the category showing but no 'read more' link.

Theming taxanomy page using taxonomy-term.tpl.php

Hi,
I want to theme my taxonomy page and I am successful at using taxonomy-term.tpl.php to get it done.

My problem is that additional unwanted content is getting rendered below my custom template. I used devel module and found out that the content is being generated by templates/node.tpl.php.

So my question is how can I stop this unwanted content.

Cheers,
Vishal

What is the "help system" block and help region in my theme and how can I use it?

I am using a Bartik theme and see this help block and help region. Even though the help block is set to go into the help region, nothing is there. How do I add content to the help block? I can put other things in the help region just to test and see them show up. I might even use the help region instead of the "highlighted" region to be able to put my "upcoming events" in there with a box around them. But first I want to know what help goes in there because I also wanted to be able to have help for my users somewhere to explain how to do things on the page.

No forum found when creating a new forum topic.

On the 'create forum topic' page (node/add/forum) I am getting no forums listed in the forum selection pull-down (despite being several on the site which should be there), it just says 'Select a value'.

Its a new forum, I added a test post and test reply to that post when I first set it up a few weeks ago, which I then deleted, and haven't touched it since

I am trying to use advanced forum, but I'm getting the same using only the core forum module.

A newly added forum also wont show in the list.
