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

Uploads/Downloads: Need Advice

Hi, all:

I'm building a Drupal instance to be used as a knowledgebase/documentation server. I am using the upload module, along with a module called fileshare.

What is the best way to be able to link in the navagation system to a repository of all uploaded files? Is this done by node type "fileshare" (i.e. make a menu item that calls all nodes of that type to be displayed)? Is this done by taxonomy? Is there some easier, obvious way that I am just not grasping right now?

events handling

Hi all, i'm new to drupal and i'm trying to use it. I must say it's not so easy, i haven't yet figured out how it really works, so i'm having some trouble in my work. I tell you what i have to do, hoping in some useful suggestion.

I have to build up a site where storing information about matches (don't know what kind, but some sort of sport). Every match should be an event in a calendar, should have a description of the event, and after it has been played it should contain a review, a pdf file attached with results, fotos, videos and so on.

Adding a new page - do I use the create content > add page for a page with modules?

Hello,
I have a newbie question that I've looked through the forum and documentation, but am not exactly sure how to go about doing this.

Drupal forums on my site have no "reply" function ?

I have a wierd situation on the site I am working on (www.popularparanoia.com).

The standard drupal built in forums are active, containers and forums have been created, there are even a couple of posts there.

The problem is, there is NO reply button or command for the forums!

One can post a new post but it is impossible to respond to an existing post!

I am running drupal 4.7.2.

Has anyone heard of this error before ?

It goes to slow

Hi there!

I wonder what it is that makes my site so damn slow. It is a site that has a lot of menus (4) on the first page, and each menu contains 7 links. Under these links there could be one or two more steps of links. I can understand if this make the site slower but not as slow as up to 4 minutes to load a page. I have almost no pictures so it's mostly text.

source formatting (line breaks) in TinyMCE-generated HTML

I'm testing TinyMCE as an option for those of my users who are intimidated by HTML. So far it's working well, except for one thing: the HTML generated by TinyMCE is all on one line. Now, this has no effect on what the site looks like, but it does have an effect on the site admin (me) who might want to edit the HTML after the user has submitted it. E.g., TinyMCE makes this:

<h3>My favorite foods</h3><ul><li>tomatoes</li><li>chocolate</li><li>strawberries</li></ul>

I want it to make this:

<h3>My favorite foods</h3>
<ul>
<li>tomatoes</li>
<li>chocolate</li>
<li>strawberries</li>
</ul>

I tried the HTML Tidy module; however this doesn't quite do what I'm looking for--while it provides a *filter* that is applied when the node content is served, it doesn't actually do anything to the user's original input. What I'm looking for is something I can use to automatically make the source of the node legible for advanced users.

(Note: this is not a Filtered HTML issue as I've seen in many other posts. I don't want or care about <p> tags being inserted, I just want the \n character added in the appropriate places to the actual submission. HTML Tidy does this when the node is accessed (along with indentation), but does not do anything for the actual source I'm editing).

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I could accomplish this?
