Post installation

Hi all,

I am hoping someone can point me to the right direction here (been searching but no luck so far).

I am trying to setup Drupal so that there is a hierarchy on it based on the hierarchy of a company. Books/pages are created to reflect the relevant content. One of the links on each department is Recent Projects. Under that link I created sub-pages that describe each project.

I have created a special content using CCK which can be published by anyone. I would like to recive a mail notificacion when somebody publish something of just this content type, is there a way to do this?

otherwise, Is there a way to redirect people who have published something to a greeting page?

thanks a lot.

Hello,

I installed yesterday the new realease of Drupal and I'm trying to use it for a sort of community website.
I readed a lot of topics in this forum to get informations about nodes, menus ... And it helped me a lot.

How does the Custom Pagers module work?

The Custom Pagers module is the One Last Thing that sold me on Drupal. It allows administrators a bit more flexibility with paging through node types than Drupal gives you by default. From the description:

Custom Pagers allows administrators to define context-sensitive previous/next pagers for any node type. The list of nodes to be cycled through is generated by a user-selectable view, and each pager can be displayed above or below the node body or in a sidebar block. This makes it possible to duplicate the paging functions of forum.module and book.module, as well as more complex stuff like comic strip navigation. Requires token.module and views.module.

It was the "comic strip navigation" point that sold me, since that's what I'm using Drupal to do -- to host and serve up my webcomic.

Still, it's a new module and like most new modules it's under-documented. That's not a criticism -- it's pretty standard practice to create the functionality first and provide documentation second. But as a new Drupal user, who is still trying to get a handle on even the most basic of Drupal functionality, I admit to being a little lost. So this is an account of my attempts to use and understand the Custom Pagers module.

Can I just cut and paste patches? Are the minus(-) and (+) signs signifigant?

Is it possible to have a description of, say, what the page is about before the nodes are listed?

So say I want to have a page of songs (complete with description, words etc...) and I'll enter each of these as a 'Story'.

Can I then have a description at the top saying something like, "This section has all the songs we've written over the years complete with words and music."

I realise I could do this as a node in itself, but that's not ideal.

Thanks.
