This forum is for less technical discussions about the Drupal project, not for support questions.

Auto placement of user submitted content, in a category or term the user is viewing.

At the following drupal based site listed below, when a user submits a photo or info page, it some how gets inputted into the category or term the user is viewing. This is exactly what I would like to do for my site, though I have tried many modules and have not yet found a similar function. Am I missing something? Does any one have an idea of how to go about implementing this kind of thing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
here is the site I mentioned - http://bugguide.net/node/view/3/bgimage

A Few Beginner Questions

I am new to drupal, but not to CMS's in general, having used runcms, xoops, php-fusion, joomla, and xaraya. (Still trying to find the proper fit for me, and my site.)
I like that there is an integration with gallery2 as an image gallery is going to be a major part of my site.

What I am looking for is this:

Post forum topic

This makes the forum useless, when nobody cant read the topics. :/ And iam having a official opening of the site today. Not the greatest start of a new year I tell you...

I just HATE install scripts !!!!!!

Yes I do! And I am very gald that Drupal doesn´t have one !

I´m no Unix expert, I don´t know how exactly databases work, I don´t do php programimg. I´m graduated in graphic design and mostly sarted to work with web design because I think the web is very cool (HTML/CSS/FLASH are extremely boring, but that´s the only way isn´t it).

Until today, I have managed to install Drupal on a variety of different systems. On Windows 2000, Windows XP, FreeBSD, Debian and some other in comercial hosts i´m not sure what OS they use. In FreeBSD everything worked fine. In Debian everything was confusing, but worked. In Windows, nothing did work as it was written on documentation, I had to google for days trying to find workarounds, and when I could finally manage to make a working installation, it wasn´t realy a decent one! (Oh heavens, why do i still use Windows??????)
Anyway, it worked. Many other software with similar requisites (php,Apache,MySQL) dint´t. Why? I don´t know. They had install scripts that didn´t work. There was no other way to install it. I don´t want to dubug php code.

This is why I´m making this post. There are many threads on this forum about the abscence of an install script in Drupal. I don´t think drupal needs one. That´s what I learned in design school : if it´s not realy necessary, drop it out! Why would I want to waste time with an incompatibility or bug in the instalation system when I can install it manually. Writing and debuging php code is not easy ! Working with database administration is basic knowledge if want to run a website (at least a good one). And, by the way, the things I like most in drupal is that it´s powerful and small. Size constraints are an issue if you want to build web comunities and don´t have money to buy luxurious hosting (like me).

Preview seems to be busted?

I have just recently set up a few drupal sites for the first time (multisite sites) and i have just now noticed that when i go to submit a blog entry - the "preview" button simply returns a blank page.

The submit still works (or i would have found this problem much sooner). I am pretty sure when i first set up drupal; preview was working - but couldnt swear to it.

Anyone know of any issues with preview?

Typo3 better than Drupal for community websites?

for a full-fledged community site, Drupal suits better than
Typo3?

designing a community website?

thanks in advance,
