How to Replace Drupal's Logo Inside Domain Field with Other Logo

Hello,

As cool as it is, I'd like to remove the Drupal logo located at the left side of the url field on my blog. I'd like to then switch it with my own logo. Does anyone have a knowledge of how to do this?

Keep in mind, I'm pretty unsophisticated with programming so a clear step-by-step process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How to check what 'type' a node is?

I want to display information in a node differently depending no what type of node they are (eg, story, audio, page, etc).

I've modified the node.tpl.php in my current theme, but I can't work out the fields I need...

changing "user login" to "admin login"

Hi guys,

Simple question!

I want to change the title of the login box from "User Login" to "Admin Login" (since users won't need to sign in for my site). I've searched through all the files for the text user login, but can't find where it's created from!

Any pointers appreciated.

Content types, containers, categories, grey hairs

Newbie to Drupal (4.7) and I am afraid I can no longer see the forest through the trees. So I'm going to post the issue at hand to see if it can even be done at all. What I am trying to do is something along the following lines. I would like the following menu structure (some sample items have been used here):

Books
-- Reviews
-- Recommendations
Movies
-- Reviews
-- Recommendations
Theater Plays
-- Reviews
-- Recommendations

Submit contents
-- Reviews
-- Recommendations

Now, what I'd like to do is allow the users to submit contents to the site, through either a reviews content type or a recommendations content type. In the content type (reviews, recommendations) should preferably be a dropdown list where the user can indicate at which section it should be posted (books, movies, theater plays). The content types would be equal for all sections. Once submitted it needs to be checked by an editor/publisher before publication.

For the last couple of days, I've been pulling my hair out on how to do this. I have created categories (with the module of that name) and containers in all shapes and sizes by now, but I can't seem to create a working solution. I've read dozens of forums posts by now, but as I said, I can't see the forest through the trees anymore.

I'm really at a loss here, and any leads that might set me on the right tr

When users register (and require approval) the admin never recieves email.

I'm currently set up under the user registration option "Visitors can create accounts but administrator approval is required." When a user registers, they get an email that says they have to wait for administrative approval. However, the administrator never recieves an email to notify them that a user is waiting for approval.

The code in user.module seems to indicate a email will be sent. Any ideas what's going on?

MySQL upgrade disables Drupal test site

I have been runnning a Drupal 4.7.4 test site on a Red Hat server with Apache 1.3, MySQL 3.23, and PHP 4.3.

In order to upgrade several other sites to the latest PostNuke software, I needed to upgrade MySQL. Now I have Apache 2.0, MySQL 4.1, and PHP 5.1 on the new server config.

All of the PostNuke sites survived the upgrade well -- the newest versions with no issues at all -- but the MySQL upgrade seems to have disabled my Drupal test site.

When I tried to access the Drupal site after the upgrade, I received 2 different series of error messages:

1) Warning: Illegal mix of collations (utf8_general_ci, COERCIBLE) and (latin1_swedish_ci, IMPLICIT) for operation like . . .

2) Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent . . .

I then took a copy of the database and ran upgrade.php from the 4.7.4 code. This got rid of the error messages, but I still can not get to anything other than the home page. Trying to go aywhere else just gives me the error message: "The requested URL /drupal/node/3 was not found on this server."

I next did a clean install of the 4.7.4 code, which runs fine on the new server config, but which will not access the old database, either.

My question is this: What must I do, in order to get Drupal to recognize my MySQL 3.23 data in the new 4.1 database?

Are there settings changes needed? New parameter to adjust somewhere?
