Post installation

On my new Drupal 4.7 site, I have several pages that I am protecting from viewing by anonymous users using the Simple Access module. I have the access on these pages set to authenticated users only.

I am only allowing user accounts to be created by the adminstrator (me). I have two user accounts for my site editors, and then I have created a single shared user account that I am going to allow anyone in a small group of trusted users to use.

I have searched the forums, and have tried a few things but nothing seems to work.

How do I return a field in CCK? I created a custom field and need to use it in two areas, not just one. But I can't figure it out. I hope someone here knows :)

I am having a bit of trouble piecing these two parts of theming and autocomplete together.

I am implementing the theming of the actuall CCK for (part that user fills out - not the node output) by following the conversation in http://drupal.org/node/61481 which seems to work very well.

i am trying to integrate this feature with the built in autocomplete function in Drupal (following http://drupal.org/node/42552 )

I am trying to have auto complete work on a textfield 'field_school' and call the vocabulary from taxonomy 10. I am a bit confused as to how to mesh these two things together (i am trying this as a proof of concept really, i don't know php much at all)

so my question is where does the 'autocomplete' call go in the form field?

this is the code given in the cck autocomplete section,

<?php
        $form['taxonomy']['tags'][$vocabulary->vid] = array('#type' => 'textfield', '#default_value' => $typed_string, '#maxlength' => 100, '#autocomplete_path' => 'taxonomy/autocomplete/'. $vocabulary->vid, '#required' => $vocabulary->required, '#title' => $vocabulary->name, '#description' => t('A comma-separated list of terms describing this content (Example: funny, bungie jumping, "Company, Inc.").'));
?>

where do i fit that into my field call in the forms theme file?

<?php
 print_r(form_render($form['field_school']));
?>

Servus, folks.

I want a floating block showing a random quote. I can't figure how to get a random selection from these CCK records called 'quotes' using the view.module... I found some notes that the former "random node" option was dropped in spring because of some new feature, but I couldn't find any further hint. The online help and some docs still say chosing "random node" should do the trick, but that's gone now.
So how do I select a random record from CCK using view?

TIA,

Norbert

Servus, folks.

No matter what I'm reading and trying for 14 days now, I can't understand how to get the following to work:

a.) I have a CCK structure holding several text fields plus a link to an Image node. The linked image and a short sentence related to the 'presentation' from the CCK structure should appear in the left column of my layout, while the rest of the article runs down the right column in this two column layout.

hi can anyone tell me how to go about setting up the search button for my site to work. I am playing around with categories but Havent really understood if that is where i should be.

Secondly, Where do i put in the meta tags for the search engines to fine my site......

Clueless about these in drupal. Any help is greatly appreciated
