Drupal 7.x

Ver: Drupal 7
Theme: Genesis

I was wondering whether someone could explain to me direct me to information(articles, books, etc.) concerning the standard way/best procedure/proper way of styling different site pages differently using Drupal 7? The pages of this site will have different background images, different logos, different sections of content in different positions. Being new to this I'm somewhat confused, have been struggling with it, and will continue to do so; but any help and/or guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanking everyone in advance,

Hi,

I need to know if Drupal can do this ...

I need to be able to create educational course modules. For each module, as an administrator I will need to be able to add various educational videos and documents for download by the student, but these downloadable items are only available to a student once they've paid for that particular course module via paypal. Once paid for via paypal then the user will have a limited time (configurable) to download the items available for that module.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
M

Hi - just installed Drupal 7 to a new site - all good until I try to start administering the site and creating content. Basically the only option I am given is to create 'content' by first defining the content type.

Very strange as I'd expected to see all the usual menu options to allow me to administer the site.

Hello
Over the past 3 years I have been messing about with photshop and making templates for forums and cms. I started out designing a template for my friends guild and hosting it. Now over the years I have gathered alot more friends and sites lol

Anyways I am looking to find a easy way to allow them to create a drupal website from my website and have them all linked to same database ect so I can easily update them all at once.

Well, here I go again, I've tried the two support IRCs with no luck. I've searched for this issue on this forum and I couldn't find anything.

I've installed Drupal 7.0 with XAMPP. I'm attempting to get my first website up and running. I'm using the Basic Page content type to build some text and inline pictures for a few of my first pages. I'm running drupal on my laptop locally until I get the website functioning the way I want it.

Here's the issue: I'm trying to get jpgs to show inline with the text (using full HTML for now) and it's not working, at all.. Here's what I've done so far --

-- beyond core d7, I've installed the Insert, Image Resize, Panels, Views, etc. etc. modules and they are active.
-- I've installed TinyMCE, WhizzyWig, and YUI Editors for WYSIWYG editing.
-- I've added the [img] type to the text formats for both Full HTML and Filtered HTML and saved them.

Is it possible to create field instances that are not attached to any bundle?

I have a module that defines a custom field type and widget. I would like to create an instance of the field during install, but don't necessarily want to attach the field to every content type (I just want it to be listed in the "- Select an existing field -" dropdown when managing fields). My only thought was to have the module also provide a dummy content type to which the field instance could be attached, however, this seems unnecessary. Are there any alternatives?

Thanks,
Scott
