Post installation

Sorry for the long post, I tried my best to explan!

The problem I have noticed is, say I want to user node/2, how do I go on about it?

Currently any pages I create starts from node/37 (This is probably because I have created 36 pages/stories before it). But I have deleted those 36 (nodes) pages/stores, but yet nodes still start from node/37.

So node/2 for example would be available in theory, but yet unavailable for me to use.

Say If I want to have node/2 as my “about” page, what do I do, because currently I’ve tried everything and drupal not seem to except a node to be "re-used" even if it’s deleted.

I keep getting “that path is already used” or something along that line, even thou I know for a fact that there is not a page/story or anything that is occupying that particular node (node/2).

Is this the case? That once a node has been used, even if deleted afterwards, drupal won't allow another page to occupy that particular node?

I’m not being stubborn with wanting that particular node, I just want to know if that’s how drupal works.

Ofcourse I would prefer to have my primary links set up as node/1, node/2, etc… for my sake so I can get my head round it.

I just want to know if drupal allows me to choose a deleted node or not, if so, how?

Thanks so much.

P.S: This is nothing to do with ‘Clean URL’, all thou turned on, I’d still like to have the nodes for their respective aliases organised in the ‘url aliases’ page.

Drupal theme bluemarine latest version according to Cpanel/Fantastico
- host: Hostgator.

When I create a page, there is always a "submitted by" on top of the page/content. Can this be removed to make it cleaner?

Secondly, how do I add pictures to the site? Should I use something like photobucket and link to my site?

Thanks again.

Hi,
I I just installed the location module based on its intsll.txt by manualing creating the tables.
But then when I enabled the module, i got an error from the install script complaining that the table was already created. So I am guessing the install.txt is a little out of date.

Anyway, I then went on and enabled the location modules and configured under settings->location.
I then went on to settings->content-types->incident-report which is a custom CCK node that I created.
I saw a new locations collapsible element at the top of the that page. I went it and enabled some of the elements.
Saved it.

I then went bake into it to turn on the country and state elements and when I saved it got the errors dumped below. I haven't been able to recover from it till now.
Any idea what the problem could be??

Anyway, I want to remove the location module and all tables associated with it and re-install the module. How do i do remove the location module and all its table/entries completely?

Thanks,
Sarvi

(i believe i'm using the very latest drupal because i just got an account on opensourcehost)

what should i use if i want to have multiple blogs on my site? each blog needs to be able to be posted to by my group of paid bloggers, but visitors can only read and comment.

the existing blog module seems to only allow me to create one blog as admin, when in fact i need to create 5, and give posting permission to a group of people. is there a better blog module or can it do what i want?

very new to this, loving it already though!

I'm helping an associate who wants to move his community from Yahoo! Groups over to a Drupal site (either 4.6 or 4.7). Most of the stuff is stock Drupal, but he wants to move the existing users and messages over to the new site as well.

Importing the users shouldn't be too hard, since the user_import.module works for 4.6 and 4.7. But how do I move the Yahoo! Groups messages over (complete with nested replies)? I don't know what export format Yahoo! Groups offers, nor do I know how Drupal's nodes/comments tables are crosslinked.

Sorry, this may seem like a straightforward procedure, and I have created them so it is.

But what I noticed there are numerous ways to create a ‘page’, so which way is the correct way?

I mean, do I create the ‘menu’ link for that page first first, or the ‘Url Aliases’ first or should I go to the create page it self then add menus, ‘Url Aliases’, etc…from there this leaves me confused.

Say I want to create a page “About”. What’s the right way to achieve this, what do you do first, second, etc..?

Thanks, and I’m sorry for the newbie question.
