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

Sorting Books by anything other than their weight, title.

I am slowly starting to (re)appreciate the robustness of the book.module for creating a structured and hierarchical site. However, at times it seems too robust. I am trying hard to figure out how to do the following: Sort books automatically by (cck) date.

Menu access control or making menus as nodes

I've got a new site running 4.7.5 and using taxonomy and taxonomy access control to manage permissions for the faculty to manage their own groups sites and create content. I had two concerns about them creating new content:

1. It would have a URL relevant to their subdomain (a mandatory taxonomy vocab based on organizational units coupled with pathauto did a beautiful job of this.)

2. They would be able to make new menu items to link to these new pages in their subdomain. I can't find a way to do this one..

Simple block/module/menu question

I've tried to figure this out...no really. I'm not understanding something basic about drupal.

I have a site using the multiflex 2 theme. I've created lots of menus, customized some of the css, etc. My secondary menus are in the left sidebar.

Left aligned table in content

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to insert a table into my main content using this code...

text here

The table is displaying correctly and it's aligned to the left but
it doesn't seem to want to wrap around the text... As in no
text will go into the space on the right between the edge of the
table and the right margin of the main column...

Anyone know how i can get the text wrapping around properly?

thanks alot,

Andrew

Display an image attachment using Views

I have a view setup which is based on the 'taxonomy/term' view. This provides a List view which is then themed to modify the list view.

The list view displays output from a variety of content types including image nodes and cck nodes.

If the node is an image node, the view shows:

  • thumbnail
  • title
  • type

If the node is a CCK node, I'd like the view to show:

  • thumbnail of an attached image file
  • title
  • type

My problem is I cannot see how to get the attached image file thumbnail to appear.

Is there a views module plugin that allows you to access attached files? If not, can someone advise on the template code that would allow me to display a thumbnail of an attached image file?

Below are the Views export and my template file.

thanks

$view = new stdClass();
$view->name = 'taxonomy_term';
$view->description = 'The taxonomy view with a depth of 0.';
$view->access = array (
);
$view->view_args_php = '';
$view->page = TRUE;
$view->page_title = 'taxonomy';
$view->page_header = '


print_r($node);

';
$view->page_header_format = '1';
$view->page_footer = '';
$view->page_footer_format = '3';
$view->page_empty = '';
$view->page_empty_format = '3';
$view->page_type = 'list';
$view->url = 'taxonomy/term';
$view->use_pager = TRUE;

Fixed teaser/article length front page

Hey everyone,

I'm currently using Panels and Views to generate my site's front page. (http://diminished7.evasource.net/)

However, I would like to define fixed lengths for the article teasers on the front page. I don't like how the site currently flows (for example, I want the Underground and Essentials categories to line up, like how Reviews and Features do). I want the layout to be more fixed so it is not determined by the article/teaser length.
