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

Contact Settings

There is a tick-box in My Account | edit that enables members to choose whether or not other members can contact them using the Personal Contact Form. This function appears to be off (no tick) by default. How can I change it to be on by default?

I have tried to locate the entry in the DB for this choice, but it is not in the users table. Can anyone tell me where it is?

A Fix for the Broken Breadcrumb in Node Displays

There's been considerable discussion about the "broken breadcrumb" problem in Drupal. This occurs when you are displaying a node that isn't in your site's menu (usually of the type "story") and linking it from a taxonomy-based listing page.

For example, the path "taxonomy/term/4" will produce a list of nodes with the category term "4" and, if that taxonomy list is in the menu, the correct Breadcrumb. In short, it works.

BUT when you click on the title or "read more" for any of these nodes and the site then displays this node alone, Drupal's Breadcrumb "breaks".

In fact, it's not really "broken" and there's very good logic behind this behavior. Drupal draws the Breadcrumb from its menus and when a node isn't specifically placed in the menu, Drupal treats it as an orphaned node and displays it as a sub of Home. This is actually at the crux of Drupal's flexibility so that nodes can be categorized in many ways and displayed in different lists and screens site-wide.

Logical, but it doesn't help you very much. :-)

This is a solution to that problem that my colleague from May First/People Link Jamie McClelland and I worked up for some sites we're working on. It avoids hacking core or any modules -- which can be very problematic -- and is based on customizing the node template using a combination of Drupal's functions and some php code.

This solution has been tested with Drupal 4.7 (although it should work with 4.6) and uses examples from the box-grey theme although it will work with any theme I've seen.

I need help with the following, pls help!

I'm on 4.7.3. I need help with the following two points please, I can’t figure them out.

1) My Primary Links are vertical, so If I want the menu to start from left such as PAGE1 then PAGE2 then PAGE3, I should easily achieve this by using the weights, right? But currently I have PAGE 2 - PAGE 1 - PAGE 3 and they are basically not responding to the weights, are the weights only change positions by going up and down, when Primary Links are set up horizontal?

Online Status for Drupal, not Instant Messengers

Hello all,
Just wondering if there was any code or anyone knew how to put an online status indicator (for drupal, not for and instant messenging service) on a user profile page? Hope someone can help. Thanks :)

Host can't do multisite?

Hello
Multisites with a single drupal install are reducing admin for my sites based on subdomains, but when I asked my host to set up a virtual host setting for a different domain name, this is the response:

You cannot do a single installation for multiple sites, each install will require it's own paths etc.. due to the chroot environment, you cannot have multiple sites within a single file structure.

Any suggestions?

Image_attach and Contemplate

Hello,

I made a new content type but now I want to create a template for it to change the way it looks. I tried to use contemplate to do that. I also needed the medium vote and image_upload modules with that content type. Unfortunately when I try to use contemplate it removes the mediumvote and image_attach results.

Can someone please tell me what code I need to put inside the contemplate templates to get the mediumvote and image_attach results back into the content type?

Thank you very much.
