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

How important is it to Upgrade to Drupal 5.x?

've just started with Drupal. My hosting co provided a free install of Drupal 4.7. I got it up in a day and and have added two modules added a little content and started configuring the menus for the past several days. So it's working.

I'm looking at adding more modules and see that some only have version 5, others both. Do the wisest drupal gurus suggest upgrading to 5.x now or sticking with 4.7 until I know what I'm doing? Will it save me any work in the long run?

There's probably a few people out there wondering the same thing? Please advise. Thanks so much,

wanting no authoring info for specific content types

Maybe this is standard, but I did not find how to do it.

I want to have certain specific content types for which when displayed no authoring info is displayed (i.e. no "posted in XX/XX/XX by XXXX" just under the title). I guess Content Templates should be the module in which to do it, but I can't seem to find out how. I still want other content types to be displayed as usual.

Anyone can help?

printing the filename of a cck uploaded image

is it possible to print the filename of a cck uploaded image? If someone uploaded "image-334.jpg" I want to be able to print the filename (or its path would be much better) "image-334.jpg".

Jscalendar - Am I missing something?

Hate to be a bore but don't you just hate those statements that say something like. "Simply do such-and-such a thing and bob's your uncle, it's done..."

Case in point;
"Richly featured popup calendar library using the Jscalendar library. To use, simply add a 'jscalendar' class to a textfield.

I have installed the Javascript tools module in Drupal 5 and enabled jscalendar.

Nowhere can I see a js calendar class to add to a text field - looked everywhere!

Am I missing something like installing some other module?

Multiple Comments Within a Story

What is the easiest way to have multiple comment -sections- within a story? I'm working on a travel site. What I'm trying to do is have a list of hotels or restaurants and build a list of comments for --each-- entry- say 10-20 on a page.

Do I need to do a thumbnails page of all the listings, with no comments there, and vistor has to go to a seperate page for each entry where the comments are? Or can multiple comment links be imbedded after each listing all on the same page?

Thanks,
Doug

Displaying $links in cck pages

Hi, I've installed the simple vote and subscription modules but can't get the voting widget or the "subscribe to this category" links to appear on my CCK-created content types. I assume its got something to do with the fact that the $links variable seems to be empty when I try and print it on a cck-created node, although the rating stars do appear on my story nodes.

Anyone got any ideas?
