Drupal 7.x

I have created a new content type, Event, which appears in my list of content types under 'structure'

If i then try to add content, only article and basic page appear as options

**UPDATE**

Problem must have been related to some modules not installing correctly.

I started again, and at the same point, my database has more tables and new content type works properly.

hi guys,
i installed drupal 7 and uploaded a bunch of articles via migration. also uploaded comments related to the nodes. in the database i changed the column named "comment" in the node table to value "2" - means open comment.
however, still i can't see the comments- they are hidden. is there something i missing?
pls help
hilit

Hi all !
I've just created a custom field called "field_right_column" for one of my content types.
I would like to render it in node.tpl.php, so i put :

<?php if($content['field_right_column']): ?>
<div id="rightcol"><?php render($content['field_right_column']); ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>


    <?php
      print render($content);
    ?>

But nothing's happening. I've just
<div id="rightcol"></div>
in the source.

I am beyond confused with the schema function.

I have successfully created a custom field that looks the way I want it to look: a long text field with formatting and an image, but I'm now having trouble getting it to save the stored data to the database.

The error message I get when creating content with this field is:

How does one go about setting a specific width on Garland (D7) after specifying fixed width in theme admin?

Hello,

First of all, I have to confess that I'm a total newbie concerning Drupal and PHP. I've learned a bit by myself, but I could use more guidance. And probably the question I'm going to ask might already have been answered, but I can't seem to think of the right words to use in the search mode. So pardon me for this.

I'll first give some background.
I'm the webmaster of a local football club. The site is made up in Dreamweaver and uses PHP and MySQL. As this site is a bit static, I wanted to make it interactive and thus chose Drupal for this.

I installed Drupal, and some fine modules. I added a few pages, just to play around. So far so good. Then I imported tables from my original MySQL database (on the static site that is still live) into my database on the test site.
Then I wanted to test out if I could use some php code I was using on the original site.
