URL Alias in Drupal 5?

I can't figure out how to adjust the URL Alias function that I had in version 4.7. I have clean URLs set up right, but I just need to make sure I can change things like: http://cabraham.com/node/5 to http://cabraham.com/resume -- I could do that simply with version 4.7. Maybe I just forgot where to look.

<div> not working in blocks?

I want the image aligned to right in a header block.

In theory the image should show up on the right,in the block, since I have it float: right; in the css. I even tried align: right;, but still not budging.

I have chosen the PHP input format.

In the header block I put:

<div class="image">
<img src="http://www.site.com/file/image.gif">
</div>

In the .CSS file I put:

no 'Image handling' under settings

I just noticed that the 'Image handling' section of settings is completely missing on the settings page. And image handling is perfectly fine otherwise. A drupal 4.6 site, on the same machine, has this section and it says "The built-in GD2 toolkit is installed and working properly.".

Looking at the code, system.module, it seems that GD2 should always show up (if I am reading it correctly). The image_get_available_toolkits function (includes/image.inc) always adds at least one entry, gd.

Any idea why this 'Image handling' section is missing? Can anyone see it?

TinyMCE Box Too Small

I am using the TinyMCE 4.7 to 5.0 port module and the latest release of Drupal and TinyMCE. It's working fine, but my main problem is that when the editor comes up, the tool bars show up fine, but the box where you actually type is only a small line. Resizing TinyMCE makes it work fine. Any ideas what is causing this?

Downloaded files get renamed

Hi,

I'm having some difficulty in downloading files from Drupal - they don't keep their uploaded name...

In IE6 they download as the sitename and in Firefox they download as strange letters - r1wsp5a5.doc

Has anyone seen this behaviour before with drupal and is there a fix?

Many thanks for any tips or insight...

How can I make links page chronologically?

I'm not sure if I'm going to explain this right, because I get confused when I try to sort it out myself, so how much luck am I going to have trying to actually communicate it? But here goes...

When your total number of stored articles exceeds the maximum you've set for a page, you access the "overflow" by clicking the links Drupal automatically sets up for you at the bottom of the page. The default setup for these links is to list the number of "pages" available, and to also give you "first," "previous," "next," and "last" links. These links work very well, but I have to admit that they feel counter-intuitive to me: they feel backwards. When you click on the "next" link, you're not actually viewing the next piece of content, you're viewing earlier content.

So, for example, when you're reading a book, going to the next page takes you to the next part in the story -- the future. But when you're reading through a Drupal site, clicking the next link takes you to a previous part of the "story" -- the past.

The Book content in Drupal doesn't do this, however -- it places its pages chronologically, so that the link on the left is the previous chapter, and the link on the right is the next chapter.

So what I'm wondering is, is there a way to make the way Book links work a universal format for Drupal?
