love drupal!
but i want to know when we can get the drupla V5.0?

before December?

Hey all, I'm a newbie to Drupal, but have been in web work for years, I'm building my first drupal site and having a bit of trouble. Fact is I don't know if I understand the Drupal framework, so I'd like t ask the community for some yes/no answers to help me get on track.

1) In Drupal, 'content' is called 'nodes.' yes/no?

2) Drupal 'Nodes' are created using different modules. For example: CCK, Event, multinode, image etc. Yes/no?

3) You can make custom nodes or change existing node forms using things like CCK and multinode. Yes/no?

4) All nodes are created equal. Different modules can create different node types, but, once created 'a node is a node' and is not limited to, or embedded in the module that created it. Yes/no?

5) The way to associate nodes to other nodes, and nodes to modules is with either the taxonomy, or category module. Yes/no.

6) The taxonomy module and category module basically work the same way. Yes/no?

7) Because 'all nodes are created equal' it is difficult to make a hierarchical web-structure using Drupal. Yes/no?

8) The 'look' of the site is done with themes. Yes/no?

9) Page-layout is done through the 'views' module or the 'pages' module. Yes/no?

10) The 'views' module and 'pages' module basically work the same. Yes/no?

Thanks folks, if I can get some answers to these basic questions I think I can start getting leg-up on my new site! I'm really excited about the potential for Drupal development and would greatly appreciate any help/advice/corrections you could offer.

a very nice gentleman helped me with some php to display a directory of my vocab names and articles.

I need to display this directory but i dotn want it to be a content item. I dont want i tto show up on content lists etc. I simple need it to be a menu link. where i am not considered the author. so a node much like views displays....

how is this possibe?

I like how the default frontpage displays everything that has been published.

If I want to make something different for the frontpage but keep this functionality what can i do?

Is this even possible? Is sure wold be great if we could do this.

when i type in the urls they will bring up the proper titles but show no nodes. I checked my seeting to make sure blogs where enabled and they are. i post a blog to a term and then it doesnt who on the node list.

any ideas on this?
