General discussion

Hello,

I've searched the forum and perhaps for the wrong thing - this should be a simple question:
How do i seperate a list of articles categorized by the same thing into their own page?

I'm in the process of developing my site, and installed the image_assist module. I tested it out and posted a story with an image. Worked pretty good but I noticed that when it inserted the image tag into the post, it used a full URL for the src ("http://tempdomain.localhost/files/images/blahblah.jpg").

I'm building a site with drupal and i'd like to use the forum module, I enabled the module and gave users permission to create forum topics and edit own forum topics. however, after I create a new topic it doesnt show up in the forum. under the "topics" column it has '0' and then under the zero, it says '-1 new' why is it doing this?

I know this post was definitely getting ugly but what happened to it that all the posts are gone?

I'm a new user of Drupal, and getting my head around the documentation is proving to be a bit of a pain.

I'm not new to programming and I find PHP fairly easy to use, but understanding the availability of variables, the behaviour of various core modules, and how PHPtemplate works is very time consuming because many of the useful informational and tip posts can only be found in the forum or buried deep within the handbook hierarchy. This is a big problem as Drupal.org's search feature isn't the best, the categories are limited to the major recent versions of Drupal, and venturing deeper into the Handbook requires clicking multiple expandable menu headings.

Additionally it is not apparent how to correct small errors within the Handbook, aside from posting comments and waiting for someone with privileges to edit the entry? I don't understand why you'd create the ultimate user-modifiable open source CMS but limit editing the documentation system to only a privileged few?

It seems to me most of the problems with Drupal's documentation system could be resolved by moving the docs to a separate wiki site, possibly tied in to the Drupal.org user database (if possible).

FYI I came to Drupal from WordPress, who run a very useful wiki.

I have no problem contributing to such a wiki-fication project as I run a couple of small

I made a custom template for my site. It doesn't use the left column for navigation. I cannot seem to get the admin selections if I switch to my custom template (under themes).

My question is...can I use the BLUE MARINE template as my admin page and use my custom template for my site. Basically seperating the admin pages from the site itself.

I saw some postings regarding this for 4.7 beta (built into this version or something like it).

So my questions are:

1. How do I seperate my admin pages (using a different template) from my custom template for my site?
