Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

Admin theme mixes with theme used on the site (My theme)

Hi,
why is it that some parts of the Admin interface uses the Admin theme and some parts use my site theme?
For example the section "Blocks" is always in the site theme. This is annoying, because some parts of the "Block" section are not rendered in the site theme, like the "Add Block" button. When I want tio add a block I always have to make "Garland" the d use "Garland" as my admin theme. "Create Content" also appears in the site theme and not the admin theme.
Can anyone tell me what I can do about this?

Thanks a lot!

Insert text above break

I am currently using the Zen theme, I simply want to insert some text so that when someone views a node, a line of text (specifically adsense) displays right above where i manually inserted a [!--break--]

so its

topcontent
adsense
bottomcontent

I've looked and looked and cannot find how to do this. The best I could do was edit node.tpl.php to place the adsense code above all the content or below all the content but not inbetween as I need. Thanks in advance.

Poll with e-mail confirmation

I need to add a poll with an e-mail confirmation field.

Step-by-step:

1. The anonymous user vote and put his e-mail
2. The system sends and e-mail confirmation
3. The user receives the confirmation e-mail and validates the vote.

Is there any module/s to do this?

Repository setup

I was wondering how you guys organize your svn/cvs repository for your drupal installations. Where do you put the contrib modules (if you keep them in your repository)? Do you keep the module code or do you keep only the .tar.gz's? Where do you put your themes/modules? Etc.

The structure I was thinking to implement would be:

how to retrieve categories information to customize views ?

First of all, sorry if the solution is somewhere ... I really search during 3 days ... sorry also: I am a newbie in drupal and php.

Because I am not sure the solution I have in mind is the best: let first describe what I want.

Goal

I am a scientist and I proposed to make a new web page for my lab. I want first to create the page people. They are different kinds of 'members' : 'labhead', 'researcher', etc. At the end, I want a web page containing a list like this:

 <h4>Laboratory Head</h4>
Picture - Name - email -  etc. (for the first lab head)
<h4>Research Scientist</h4>
Picture - Name - email -  etc. (for the first scientist)
Picture - Name - email -  etc. (for the second scientist)
<h4>PhD Students</h4>
Picture - Name - email -  etc. (for the first phd student)
 ...

Solution Proposed

  • I create a content type "Lab Member" using the CCK module;
  • I create a container "membertype" with the different categories "labhead", "scientist", etc. by using the category module;
  • I specify that the content type "Lab Member" has to specify a category in "membertype";
  • I create a view "memberview" using the Views module ;
  • List category nodes

    Hello forum,

    I have installed latest Drupal 5.* and categories module plus views.
    I want to remove completely the way that articles is currently displayed (title, description and a part of the body) and use views to display a table list with all the nodes per category.

    I created without a problem a view where it displays all the nodes in my categories but cannot find how to create another one to display only the category nodes and nothing else.

    My structure is like
