Category (taxonomy) problems

Again, forgive me for being such a noob at this.

I created a taxonomy for stories, so that when a story is created, I can publish it to a page. I also added two locations for the stories to be published to. I added a description to one of the locations, thinking that text would be displayed on the page, but it is not. Go to www.aklp.org and click on Current Campaigns.

janode and directory: newbie needs help

Trying to create a web links directory with drupal 5Rc1. Looks only janode is ported to 5. Was able to install janode fine. But can't figure out to how to setup navigation/breadcrumb etc with views (since taxonomy browser is still not supported on 5 Rc1)

I know the answer is taxonmy. But it does not show if there is a term with no janode added yet.
what I want is e.g
page 1
Catagory term 1

sub cat 1 (10) subcat 2 (5)
subcat 3 (4)

usernode + nodeprofile: using "profile" data stored in nodes

I hope this is the place for this. It may be more suited to module development, but it's about use, I think, not development.

Anyhow, I'm probably missing something really easy, but I've done an extensive trawl of what documentation I can find and can't get any clues.

I have implemented usernode + nodeprofile (and registerprofile). On sign-up a user is presented with the user form asking for a username and email and under that the one content type I have designated as a nodeprofile. Now, this all works pretty well at the moment, but there's a lot of work for me to do theming various pages, so before I go too far down that route I want to just check - can I now reference these nodeprofile fields as if they were user fields?

For example, I want my users (an alumni assoicaiton) to be able to add little snippets of news (a CCK type) both about themselves, the default, or about another alumnus who is not registered on the site, say. And I want the titles of these news snippets to be consistent - with forename, surname, house and cohort. So I want to compute a field to create a default title, consisting of these fields from the nodeprofile content type for the user that's logged in and creating the news snippet.

Also I'd like the AuthorInfo module to pick up a computed field on the nodeprofile content type. Is that possible? If so I suspect I'm getting the "Real Name" field wrong.

Get book to inherit parent taxonomy

Is there a way for a book page to automatically inherit the taxonomy settings of the parent node when it is created from the add child menu, or during submission?

Publish a story to a static page?

Hello:

I am new to Drupal and have been learning as I go....which is tough since I am used to the "old-school" way of building a webpage. My question is this: I have created a static page. How do I go about publishing stories to that static page? Basically the static page is a current events page, and I want everything I publish to that page, to look like a separate event. So I figured there has to be some way to publish a new story to that static page.

Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Zach
