Post installation

First I would like to say that I love drupal. Once you learn a bit you quickly realize that anything is possible with drupal. One characteristic of Drupal (and probably many other CMS's) is that it is pretty MySql intense. At my site I am running 33 modules. I have stripped modules such as book, page, story, category and others so that my site is mainly running from voting, CCK, Contemplates, Views, Pathauto and Taxonomy Modules.

I have og, og_forum, views and category modules installed. I wish to replace the individual group home pages with Views (or, a view that will take the group node id as an argument).

The blub I found here http://drupal.org/node/59846 seems to indicate it's possible, but does not point to how it might be done.

Anyone done this? Have any ideas how to do it?

Thanks!

Is it possible to change the way that a view spits out data?

Currently it makes a table, 1 row per node, each cell in that row is a different piece of data.

What I want it a row that contains the images from the node and the next row under had the node titles.

So output would show a nodes image with the title under it and have 5 or so on one line.

I am having problems when I post a link to my blog without the href=" " html tag. I would like anything with http:// in front to be recognized as a clickable link without having to use the href tag. nHow can I do this?

Cant find the page(I seen it before were to add an extra function to the template.php file) that details changing the listing theme to get alternate rows on the li tag (zebra colors)- has any got the page at hand - cant find it with the search tool

I'm trying to figure out how to have a menu item be visible only when a user is logged in (much like the Drupal Navigation menu whch displays the login links until the user has logged in)?

Many thanks

Ole
