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

Info at top of page

Hi,

Just wondering; what is the easiest way to achieve the two boxes this site has at the top?

www.coreliberation.com

Image Handling :: Local to Live migration breaks.

I am sure this has appeared somewhere else but I can't find a satisfactory answer.

I created a site (http://www.multihullreview.co.uk/cms) and uploaded some images etc etc and generated some content. Then, the site was uploaded to the live server and the content appears to contain hard-coded image paths relevant to the development server. and thus they don't display. (They do now, I had to manually fix them.)

I used TinyMCE and IMCE to add the images to the content, Drupal 4.7.5.

My question is, is there a more portable way ?
Have I misunderstood the way in which one is supposed to do this sort of thing ?

I used to use Mambo/Joomla (e.g., http://www.scottbusinesspark.co.uk / http://www.buzclothing.com) and that has an excellent content+image handling system which just works out of the box, no extra fiddling with modules.

What I am after (and if I have to write it myself I will) is a means if inserting an image based upon say, the node id, of the image and saving that with the story and then being able to place a tag "e.g. {mosimage}" in the story where I want to put the image.

I know there are several image+content solutions for Drupal etc etc but I just wondered if anybody else had faced this issue before and come up with an elegant way of putting images in content

  • exactly where they are require plus any alignment etc

import users from 4.7 to clean install of 5.x?

Drupal newbie here. I am moving my site from drupal 4.7 to 5.x. I am making a clean install for my new 5.x webpage and creating a brand new database. I decided not to upgrade from the old site, as there were MULTIPLE problems with the database and structure of my 4.7 site that I inherited when I took over the site for the non profit I'm working with. In any case, is there an easy way to import users from my old site?
My setup is as follows:
Live site: example.com (drupal 4.7)
Subdomain: test.example.com (drupal 5.1)

Problems Getting Color Wheel to Work

My problem isn't that I can't get the color wheel to appear (this seems to be a common problem), I can. My problem is that when I try to get it to create a custom color, when I click "Save Configuration" - nothing happens. Or, two Drupal logos appear. Very strange. Is there a way I can fix this?

Thanks.

creating content newbie question

Hi,
I'm really sorry if this has been answered before, but I can't find the information I need to achieve what I need to do.
How would I go about if I wanted to create a "head" module on my page that contains an image on the right and some text in the middle and a logo on the left of the page. All of the content of the module has to be changeable by some editors. So they can change the "Head" of the page anytime they like.

multiple dept story types and multiple vocabularies?

I am looking at setting up a company wide Drupal website. My question is should I split up the stories and vocabularies eg

EducationDept_Story - linked to a EducationDept_vocabulary
AccountsDept_Story - linked to a AccountsDept_vocabulary
PRDept_Story - linked to a PRDept_vocabulary

or keep it as one story node and one global vocabulary - which has the benefit of cross linking but the downside of each dept looking for its 20 main terms within a global list of 150

Thoughts valued
