Post installation

After a long battle I've set up a photo gallery that looks and behaves almost as I'd like. However, because I'm new to Drupal, I'm not sure whether I've built it properly in terms of coding style, scalability and extensibility. That's why I'd be happy if someone more experienced reviewed my solution.

Here are the building blocks:

• Individual photos (e.g. this one) are images posted through the Image module. The page layout is a result of the node-image.tpl.php with a special code for links to related photos.
• Clasification is done through the Taxonomy module. I've set up two vocabularies -- Places and Subjects -- both of them as free tagging.
• Main gallery page is built as view through the Views module. The list of tags (Places and Subjects) is created by a short PHP code in the view's header.
• Term listing (for instance Trees) is done through another view cloned from the default taxonomy_term view.
• Path and Path_auto modules handle URLs of both individual nodes and term listings.

What I don't like on the solution:

• I'd prefer the list of tags (Places and Subjects) was on the first page only, not on the second one and others. I don't know how to do it via view's header though.

I'm troubleshooting a module, and I need to disable the menu caching. What do I use in the place of $may_cache, so that the menu isn't cached? It's not in the API documentation, as near as I can tell.

I've installed the article module. It really fits my needs. I am using it to create a business directory.

By pairing it with CCK this worked well. Haven't figured how to stylize it yet.

I'd like to create a few other directories such as a church directory and maybe a directory of organic groups that I have on the site

I'm wondering, is there any reason I can't just rename the module and install that renamed module for the other directories. Can you coders give me some advice on this.

Thanks

Is there a module that will let me bulk add users from a spreadsheet or csv file? I've got 200 to add, with profile information for each (custom fields). I've had a good look through the forum, found a 2004 thread, but it wasn't finished at the time.

Hi,
I am new in Drupal and CMS, but I managed to get it installed and running without much hipcups. And I also installed the theme I liked without problem. So, not sure why people said that Drupal is hard to install or get it running.

But this maybe a stupid question. I am trying to create a top horizential menu with one of the items as "Home" which points to the homepage of my website. I think it's a good idea to use node instead of putting an url. But what's the node # of the homepage? There is no node # in the url when I go to my homepage.

Thanks.

Hi,

I apologize for posting this, because it is almost certainly very simple, but I've searched high and low and could find now answers.

I'm using Contemplate in conjuction with CCK to post articles, creating a teaser field that shows up on the main page. I want to create a read more link at the bottom of each teaser.
