Creating Nested Contenent Types (Content Type allowing a list of items from another content Type)

I'm new to Drupal, so I'm still not familiar with it's limitations. I'm looking to create a content type which allows me to link-in other content types within it.

How to build hierarchy with different content types in D7?

Hello,
I've searched the forums and found some old topics, previous to D7 release, concerning this, but none of them answered my doubts.
I have a customer satisfaction survey creation site that works with the following hierarchical ideas:

- Institutes may have several departments
- Departments may have several services
- Services may have several steps.

Drupal principles and theming

Hi, though I'm not entirely new to Drupal, my approach so far has been to say the least random and chaotic (due to some mental health problems). I now feel I need to get to grips with some basics having jumped straight in at the deep end.

As far as themes are concerned I've been using Artisteer, but am now not satisfied that I can achieve the unique and individual results I require. I am a little bamboozled by the various themes (frameworks) such as Fusion, Zen and Tao which claim you can modify and build upon to create your own unique themes.

If you look at for example www.parentpay.com, which is a design template I'd like to emulate, I can't quite figure out whether they use a 2, 3, 4 or more column layout.

I don't know if I can properly explain what I'd like to do, but lets say a 3 column layout with a sidebar on either side. The central main content area should now contain any layout variation of stories, articles (for the sake of it say 2 articles on each row as in certain areas of the www.parentpay.com web site), which can be selected and edited in-place by an authorised user.

Heck I'm struggling to explain.....I'm not sure which elements of what I want to do are theme based and which are module based, for example, do I use blocks, views or panels to achieve the layout and in-place editing functionality I want.

Cant Change temp directory

I recently change the root of my site from /newhof to /
now when i go into configuration to change the temp folder from
/chroot/home/halloffa/halloffamesports.com/html/newhof/tempdir
to
/chroot/home/halloffa/halloffamesports.com/html/tempdir

Using functions in either tpl.php or php input?

I am trying to load URIs from a file field that has an unlimited value set. Basically its a file upload that can have as many upload slots as needed and format them into lis like these:

li data-srces="%file:url[1]" %FileName[1] (or could be from text field) /li
li data-srces="%file:url[2]" %FileName[2] /li

etc... for as many files as there would be

I was looking at the file api and was wondering if I could use those functions in either the tpl.php file or via php input in panels (preferred due to access control)

Link to /node/add/type and send a default value

I'd like to make a link to /node/add/type, so regular users can easily add content of that type, but I'd like to also pass along a default value for the taxonomy term field, so that the new node will belong to the same term the user just came from, without the user having to worry about it. Is there some parameter I can add to the link to accomplish this?
