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

theme problem - no screenshot for all themes although get new update

I got the weird problem with theme. I can't install new theme except the default themes that comes with drupal package.
If i unpack themes into themes directory (the way i usually did), reach to http://www.abc.com/?q=admin/themes, i got the message "no screenshot", and if i chose this theme as default display, nothing appear, all page layout is lost.
I have updated the fresh new version drupal4.7.3, but it is still exist.

Why do i get this problem? :(
Could you please help me to fixed it?

Editing categories when editing a node

I use taxonomy module a lot on my site but when I edit a node, the Categories section doesn't appear in the edition form so I cannot add or remove categories to an existing post. This is weird because it appears right in the node creation form.

Any idea?

Directory

I have created a new vocab called Directory and hierarchy is set to 'Single'.

Then I have the main categories like Sports, Entertainment, Business and Home Services. Under Sports, I have these subcategories: Golf, Soccer, F1 so on and so forth. What I would like to achieve is to list down all categories and their subcategories, together with the number of records that they carry (in parenthesis):


Directory Listing (21)

Event node type with extra fields

In 4.6 I had a custom flexinode type called "event" that had a couple extra fields, a contact name, contact email, and contact phone number, all text fields. Now in 4.7 I want to use the CCK module. I can't seem to add an event data type to a CCK node type yet, nor can I add other fields easily to the basicevent node type.

What is the long term plan here? Wait for CCK to support an start-time and end-time data type so I can make my own event type from scratch?

Any other suggestions?

directory structure questions

I don't have access to the Apache conf file, but would like to play with Drupal's multisite one code base capability. I do have the ability to park domains and create subdomains. I would have no problems if I wanted to dump Drupal in the document root at /public_html/, however, I wanted to run Wordpress as well, so set up the directory structure like so:
/public_html/wp/Site1/
/public_html/wp/Site2/
/public_html/wp/Site3/
etc.
And
/public_html/drpl/
/public_html/drpl/Site2/
/public_html/drpl/site3/
etc.

So I asked my hosting company to point my main domain to the /public_html/drpl/ document root so I could then use the sites directory to add other domains and use everydns.net to point registered domain names to that same doc root. The hosting company said "It is not advisible to point your main domain to a sub-directory other than public_html" but that they would do it.

My question is two fold; first, am I thinking straight on this?? This is a way to get multisite functionality working correct?? And second; could I simply dump all the Drupal files into the /public_html/ directory and then place my Wordpress directory in their as well?? Would having a 'foreign' directory mixed amongst the Drupal file system mess anything up?? I do remember doing something like this on a test server I had at home and noticed that the Wordpress sites all gained the Drupal droplet icon in the address bar, which isn't too big of a deal regarding functionality, but would their be any other application toes stepped on??
