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

new modules - Newbie question

I installed the beta version of Drupal wanting to check out some of the new modules.

I installed the tinymce and simplenews modules and uploaded the extracts to the respected directories.

For some reason when I go to the admin panel to select the new modules. They are not there.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Cache On / Off not working

Hello,

For some reason even when I turn off cache in admin settings, I see that cache entries are being entered into the 'cache' mysql table. I am curious if there is a way to shut the caching system off manually.

Thanks,

How to Create Teaser View Layout

I have views, og, excerpt and category modules. I wish to change the layout of a teaser view I have created. I've looked at "Theming in Views" documentation, and don't see anything that shows me specifically what I want to do.

The closest I've come are these two comments: http://drupal.org/node/42597#comment-136896 and http://drupal.org/node/42597#comment-162971, but neither one shows exactly how to construct the view layout.

Essentially, I want a teaser view that displays like this:

Node Title (links to content)
Date Created | Group Title | # Comments

I see this code in the views.module, but it doesn't give me a clue as to how the effect the changes I need:

/**
 * Display the nodes of a view as teasers.
 */
function theme_views_view_teasers($view, $nodes, $type) {
  return views_theme('views_view_nodes', $view, $nodes, $type, true);
}

Could someone give me some guidance on creating my own teaser view layout?

Thanks!

Recipie request : FAQ

Hi all,
what is the best way of creating FAQs with Drupal ?
I had a look at the faq module, but it seems a bit outdated.
I've tried to use the forum module, but it doesn't really fit.

I tried to use cck and create a 'question' content type, but then I got stuck
trying to create a 'answer' content type that can be easily managed.

Ideally, I'd like to have a form to submit a question (maybe associated with
a free tag) and then an other form where all questions are listed and that users with
the appropriate access can answer.

High Resource Usage In Spite Of Cache

I am running a non-membership site. Drupal 4.7.4. I have the cache set to 9 hours and I have all non-essential modules and block (which is just about everything) set to throttle. I am still getting some huge PHP CPU spikes. Anyone have any ideas?

What more can I tell you about the situation, or is this typical even with cache and throttle on?

Thanks,
