Dynamic Navigation Links for Static Pages

How do i utilize the menu block or perhaps some other method to display a list of links in my menu of all the different static pages on my site? Right now, everytime I publish a static page it goes onto the main page but is nowhere to be found elsewhere. I took these pages off of the front page because they're not supposed to appear "like blog posts" on the main page. So now they don't appear anywhere but to myself. How do I get these pages on my navigation?

will Drupal accomodate javascript menus and Google adds

I have a site, http://www.fluidedesign.com, that has a certain style that I would like to keep or modify slightly and I am concerned whether Drupal is right for me.

I would like to continue to use javascript menus developped by Milonic and continue to post Google adds which are also based on javascript, is this possible?

My main interest in Drupal is to provide a forum, some relevant RSS feeds and maybe a blog. Do you think Drupal is right for me?

Thanks.

Drupal & Postgres

I've spend a long time rolling out drupal in my organisation, picking out excellent modules etc.

The process has been full of pitfalls, while the drupal core works ok with postgres, module support is little lacking to say the least. I think many modules have exposed bugs in the drupal core framework which are otherwise not used.

I've recently been investigating the cvs version of drupal and found many postgres related bugfixes, it generally seems to be getting much more 'there' and stable.

How to send out Big5 emails

I have successfully changed the email sending with Big5 encoded.

Please do the following 2 things:

1. Add a new function to the file "include/common.inc":

function drupal_convert_to_big5($data, $encoding='utf-8') {
if (function_exists('iconv')) {
$out = @iconv($encoding, 'big5', $data);
}
else if (function_exists('mb_convert_encoding')) {
$out = @mb_convert_encoding($data, 'big5', $encoding);
}
else if (function_exists('recode_string')) {
$out = @recode_string($encoding .'..big5', $data);
}
else {
watchdog('php', t("Unsupported encoding '%s'. Please install iconv, GNU recode or mbstring for PHP.", $encoding), WATCHDOG_ERROR);
return FALSE;
}

return $out;
}

// I would suggest adding the above right under the function "function drupal_convert_to_utf8($data, $encoding)" for easy debugging in the future

2. Replace the function "user_mail" inside the file "modules/user.module" with this:

function user_mail($mail, $subject, $message, $header) {
if (variable_get('smtp_library', '') && file_exists(variable_get('smtp_library', ''))) {
include_once variable_get('smtp_library', '');
return user_mail_wrapper($mail, $subject, $message, $header);
}
else {
/*
** Note: if you are having problems with sending mail, or mails look wrong
** when they are received you may have to modify the str_replace to suit
** your systems.
** - \r\n will work under dos and windows.

Prodigem API for bittorrents

The Prodigem API is an interface for programmers to gain access into the Prodigem Bit Torrent Hosting Service. It allows the possibility of designing new Prodigem interfaces and making Prodigem a part of other services (eg. blogging tools, content management systems). Imagine the power of a "Help, I've been slashdotted!" button in any web management tool.

404 on lost password page

When someone tries to use the lost password feature on our site... they get a 404 saying "requested page not found".

Any idea why that could be happening ?

Thanks
