Teaser List for every Menu Item

Hi

I'd like to have a list of teasers for all submenu items of a menu.

Let's say I've the following menu structure:

  • AAA
    • aaa
    • bbb
    • ccc

If the user clicks on AAA he should get the title and teasers of aaa, bbb, ccc.

Any ideas? I tried already with the views module. This works if I add a taxonomy term to aaa, bbb, ccc which isn't really nice.
Is it possible to have a view filter which filters up on the menu entry? Any other solution is of course welcome as well.

Best Regards
Ernst

any performance benchmarks when using CCK and/or Views Module Queries?

I'm wondering if anybody has measured server loads when using CCK with i don't know, say 5-10 unique fields and the Views query with a common number of queries, like taxonomy, node type, date for example.

I'm not an expert on these things, and i know my question isn't very precise, but just in general - does using CCK instead of regular drupal nodes for example, and doing most rendering with Views, have any negligible effect on server performance ?

Thanks!

How to install Fancy template?

I´m trying to install the theme Fancy but I can´t figure it out. I´ve downloaded the folder into the theme directory on my site and with all other themes I´ve tried that was enough. But it does not show on the list of themes in the administrator panel. The readme.txt says I should download sifr from http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/ but where should I put it? And what has it to do with making colourful blocks and such when sifr seems to be used to create flash enhanced node titles? Can anyone help?

Autopost node content into phpbb forum topic

I don't know how much of this information will be use full for my question but:

I have a drupal 4.7 installation, and am using flexinode for different content types.

I am using PHPBB for my forums, and currently it is a separate install, not integrated with Drupal.

I would like to automagically create a new forum topic in PHPBB every time a new node is submitted, not when a node is edited. I want to use the node title as the PHPBB topic title, and insert text and a link to the node in the body of the topic.

Role assign problem with nodequeue module

I have included nodequeue module for my Drupal 4.7, the module was working fine with admin account(created during installtion process).

I have assigned "administer nodequeue & manipulate queues" access to specific role, still user of this role could able to include nodes to nodequeue's.

A new tab is appearing on eligible nodes for eligible users, but when I click on that link it is showing message “No node queue defined for this node type”

Please advise me..

Regards,
Raj.

Weight order in custom types

I have created a new content type that consists of mostly text area fields. I have about 15 fields that I would like to use, and have associated a weight against them. In both flexinote and CCK, the weight does not entirely function the way I would expect. If I use between -4 and 3, then the topics stay in the right order. However, if I use -6 as a weight for one of my fields, then the TITLE field (which I don't set!) appears BELOW my (-6) custom field.
