The layout incorporates a variety of layered CSS styles to promote pink-to-purple. Pink ribbons are generally used to promote cancer awareness. Purple ribbons usually designate cancer survivors.

I am so utterly lost. I have Drupal 7 installed but I have never used it before. I have a book (useless). How do I create a page with information from a MySQL database? I am searching the forums...the documentation...the web. I cannot locate the answer. I would imagine the problem is the language barrier - being new to this.

I'm trying to make a menu link which redirects to www.myweb.com/user/[userid]/imce
Unfortunately, I can't use tokens in the link path so I want to have a menu link to a file called redirect.php in the root folder of drupal. It contains:

I am a database developer (i.e. my primary programming language is SQL). I find it mush easier to understand an application (or framework) by looking at its database schema than by reading prose or program code.

Where can I find the database schema for Drupal core or is there a tool that will display/print the schema from MySQL?

Does D7 or a module compatible with D7 have the ability to paginate a single node? I have several pages that are VERY long and I'd like to break them up into multiple pages (by inserting page breaks into the body or something similar).

Anyone have some advice for this?
