Post installation

Hello,

New Drupal user here -- trying to get all the terminology and features of Drupal wrapped around my head (or is it: my head wrapped around Drupal?). Sorry if this doesn't make sense, working it out myself; anyhow, wanted to see if I could find some help ...

My question is about categorizing different content and then searching through it. My site will have events, blogs entries, and bios (for groups/artists). For the bios, I want users to include "location" and "artist type" so that someone can search by category (I assume a "bio" would have to be a "page"). However, I also want the events to have categories and the blog items to have categories but I don't want them all intertwined when doing a search.

I see how I can define taxamony for a "blog" entry separate from an "event" and separate from a "page" ... but "page" seems too broad a category for what I am trying to accomplish. I just want my "artist bios" to have the "location"/"artist type" category field and not all pages.

Furthermore, I am using the taxamony_browser feature ... is there a way to create links so a person can automatically just search in the "Artists category" ? Instead of having to hit "scope" and then select "page" (which is confusing since someone searching would know it was a page anyway.

So, I don't know if this is making sense ... but it seems that drupal has everything a boy/girl could want ...

I'm trying to copy a site from subdomain1.site.com to subdomain2.site.com, but aside from the index page I get a Not Found error on the new site. I'm using Drupal 4.7.

I assume there's something really basic I'm missing. Here's what I did:

1) exported the DB with phpmyadmin and imported it into the new DB.

2) Copied the files to the new location.

3) Changed sites/default/settings.php to point to the new DB.

Now I get the site's index page fine, but everything else comes up Not Found.

I have the characters
} } ?>

at the top of most of my pages. Suddenly showed up. Upgraded from 4.7.3 to 4.7.4 and no change.

Tried disabling all but core modules. No change.

Where to start looking?

I'm creating a blog that links a video per node/story

for this to work, I need to be able to somehow catch the node/story ID in my page.tpl.php, since I will use this node ID in that page using an SQL query

something like "select movie from tblmovies where node_id = ".........and then the number of the node

It seems like I cannot find this node ID anywhere in page.tpl.php... can somebody help me out here?

Hello -

Am very new to Drupal; learning my way around and am trying to install the "Event" module; I have followed all the steps until the last one.

It is saying I need to go to: "admin/node/configure/types" and select a node type from the list. However: I don't see "Admin --> Node". I am logged in with my admin account; all my other admin topics are there ... just no "Node". Anyone know where it is?

Thanks,
Damon

I know I missed something really simple but I can't figure it out why the heck I can't get some modules to work. I installed acidfree, Og and several others and I alway get the same errors. The [module_name].module tries to require a php file in the [module_name] home directory but cannot find the file. I hard coded the absolute file path in OG and it worked.

This is the error message I get in the administration log:
