Post installation

I'm trying to enable non-registered users to post comments to my blog, but they can only post as anonymous. Is there a way to allow them to enter a name, and it be converted to anon-ENTERED NAME or similar? Possibly with a URL to there site like wordpress does?

How can I access the moderation queue for comments on my site that is drupal 4.7 based?

phptemplate engine & Smarty theme engine

I am interested in a template box_cleanslate,

It states:
Box_cleanslate requires the phptemplate engine be installed in your drupal themes/engines folder (for Drupal-4.6 and earlier).

I have 4.7, so what do I do?

Also, there is another choice for Box_cleanslate,

It states:
This theme requires the Smarty theme engine be installed in your drupal themes/engines folder.

What is the difference between phptemplate engine and Smarty theme engine?

Hi,

I'm a first time Drupal user and have a site I'm just setting up. This is for a parent/kids club (cub scouts), so it has sub-groups and lots of events. I'm expecting to hand a lot of content creation over to the leaders, so I'd like to build templates for consistency.

1) If the only node type that I want a template for is Events, do I need to install CCK to use ConTemplate?

Hey all,

I am hoping there is someone out there who knows what direction I should take with this section of our Drupal site.

Here is a summary of what I am trying to do: We have a directory of pro-bono advocates and what services they provide, and I am trying to make it searchable/organized. There are two volcabularies we have created, called "Find an Advocate: Location" and "Find an Advocate: Type of Advocacy". Every entry for Find an Advocate belongs to at least one term from of each of these vocabularies, and now I am trying to cross reference everything without hand writing the thousands of possible combinations.

I have tried all the taxonomy modules, but none of them seem to do what I want, so I have been trying to use views/exposed filters, but I can't get that working either! I am hoping someone will tell me I don't need to handcode all these links, or create a separate view for each one.

I want it to work like this:

1. Choose your province or Territory. (These links can be hardcoded since it won't change hardly ever. This would take users to the next step....)

2. Choose your region or city. (This would ideally display a list of all the terms which are children of the term which identifies the selected province or territory. So for example, choosing British Columbia in step one would list all the regions and cities, which are children terms of BC.)

One of my users' persistent complaints is that items in my commentrss comments feed don't identify the node that the comments go with. Commentrss items have titles like "I'm leaving a comment" when it would be more useful to have titles like "New Comment on 'Node:' 'I'm leaving a comment.'" Has anyone accomplished this? Anyone have any leads? Thanks.
