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

"files/.htaccess" always necessary?

Hi,

I am currently installing drupal on yahoo hosting. I've created and uploaded all necessary files to the server root (as far as I remember, drupal is not working under sub-directory if .htaccess is not allowed like Yahoo hosting). I tried same setting with Startlogic server and it works fine. But with Yahoo server, IE displays HTTP 403 (Forbidden) message. File permissions for php and other sub directorys are exactly same but under "files/.htaccess" as Yahoo is not allowing.

Posts to forums don't actually appear in forums

In a new Drupal installation (4.7.3) we've gone about creating a few forums, and are trying to post new posts to some of them. We use "Post New Forum Topic" when viewing the list of posts in a forum for doing this, incidentally. Every post we add appears in "Recent Posts" just fine, but while viewing index.php?q=forum shows the list of forums we've created, they all show 0 posts, 0 new, and viewing the individual forum we tried to post to shows no entries.

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks!

Problem with Category Module

Total noob to Drupal and Category. I have resisted using Drupal in the past because I cannot create heirarchies of content and control access to the individual sections. I was recently told I can do it if I use the Category module, so I am trying, please help.

I am trying to create a simple hierarchial with user based access control.

Basically I wanted to first layout the heirarchy

How to display full nodes in search results?

iBasically I want to display full nodes when doing a search. no highlighting of keywords, or anything. just list the full nodes as if it were a view. I looked at the code on how to show teasers in search results

Which is this:

function foundation_search_item($item, $type)
{
    if (module_hook($type, 'search_item'))
    {
        $output = module_invoke($type, 'search_item', $item);
    }
    else
    {
        $info = array();
        if ($item['type']) $info[] = $item['type'];
        if ($item['user']) $info[] = $item['user'];
        if ($item['date']) $info[] = format_date($item['date'], 'small');
        if (is_array($item['extra'])) $info = array_merge($info, $item['extra']);

        $output  = '<div class="search-result">';
        $output .= '<dt class="title">';
        $output .= '<a href="/'.check_url($item['link']).'">';
        $output .= check_plain($item['title']).'</a>';
        $output .= '</dt><dd>';
        $output .= '<p class="search-info">'.implode(' - ', $info).'</p>';
        $output .= '<p>'.$item['snippet'].'</p>';
        $output .= '</dd>';
        $output .= '</div>';
    }
    return $output;
}

I can almost see how this is laid out in my search results, but am not sure of where to go to get the full node to show up. I also don't know how this would affect the fact that I used templates for a number of content types.

CiviCRM disappeared from admin/module list and site (stays in system database table)

My CiviCRM suddenly disappeared after I enabled the CiviNode module (but I'm not sure that this caused it - I was also playing around with user permissions but that was mostly to get CiviCRM to work at all). The module isn't listen on the admin/modules page, the CiviCRM menu item is gone as are all associated blocks. And going directly to the /civicrm link results in page not found. All the files are still on the server (as before).
