I've recently created a website using Drupal 7 and a theme based on Zen. I want to create a backup database in a different folder on the server so I can try out new features before installing them on the live site. I've taken a backup of the database onto my PC, and I've got copies on the PC of the CSS files, images etc.

Can I view my live site while in maintenence mode? If so how?

If not, how do I view my live site from the admin panel?

I have a URL example.com/east-midlands which is a list of all nodes tagged with the term East Midlands.

East Midlands is the parent of several child terms (towns and cities).

I want to create a block that will list these child terms (as links) when you are on the above URL.

How would I go about doing this. I'm assuming Views will creep into this but I've hit a brick wall!

Many Thanks,

My main menu consists of
### HOME - ARTICLES - VIDEOS - E-BOOKS - EVENTS

For the taxonomy of ARTICLES (these are the categories of my articles), I have ...
### Archeology/Anthropology - Bio-Science - Integration - Sacred Geometry- Science - Spirituality - Teachings

I have a site setup with the core forum module. I want some kind of forum specific search feature (search only forum and not other content).
Can I achieve this with the core search module? or is it possible to use e.g views to create a forum specific search view?

Best regards

I am making a Views Slideshow of images that link to external pages. I have setup a content type, with the image field and the url field ("field_url"). I setup a view of fields, image and link. I can get the slideshow to link to the internal page, but not to the external url provided with the content.

Seems I cannot attach. I have clicked "output this field as a link" on the image field inside the view. I don't know what to write under "link path" to point to the field_url field.

Hope this is clear. Thanks!
