Post installation

Hi all!

I installed Tablemanager en created a few records in a new table. I bumped into a problem: I'd like to copy a tekst into a cell that is longer than 255 characters. The Tablemanagers cuts off any text longer than 255 characters, so I am looking for a way to change this.

I have searched around the site an forums and did not come up with an answer. Hopefully this is an easy question for someone that is not as much of a newb as I.

A quick description of what I am trying to do:

I am building a system for some people doing training. I want to have a syllabus (for lack of a better word) node they can follow, that has links to the blurbs of content sort of like a prompter.....

I have some .js files that let me define a class on an anchor tag (see below). When the user clicks on the anchor it overlays an Iframe on top of the page. Clicking the link again closes the Iframe an returns the page to normal.

Now with the above code the whole iframe thing works great but I get all the nav and header stuff, basically as you would see it in the browser. This of course is expected given the URL I used.

I would like to be able to pass a nodeid to a special node with some PHP in it that pulls the nodeid off the URL and returns only the "body" of the specified node.

I found some code on drupal.org and have played around with it so that it looks like the below but I need to know how to
read a var off the URL.

NB: The SQl works when I run it in mysql

I am scheduling stories with the scheduler module. I'd like to set up a public 'archive' page where anonymous visitors can see all the unpublished stories. How do I do this?

Thanks! Carlo

I am trying to put a news ticker on my front page of the new content that has been created. I have tried using a php snippet within marquee tags to display the recent content and have set the limit to 10. I wanted it to scroll left like a news ticker. I removed the ul and li tags because I wanted them to scroll individually to the left. But, when I do that there is no break in between listings. I couldn't think of a way to break up the output.. so if that can be done, that's all I need.

I have the category module installed and for blogs I have used freetagging.

When I 'create' a category by adding freetags to blog posts, those freetags are promoted to the homepage, which apprear as links to the new category node created by the category module.

This is because when the category is created it's given the Publishing Option 'Promote to Homepage' automatically.

I dont want this. The node creation is fine, and probably useful but not promoted to the homepage by default.

I created a custom content type, everthing works and I can create nodes.

How can I get a overview of the teasers of this content type without giving it a vocabulary in the taxonomy system.
