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

Teasers not pretty

I updated my Drupal site to 4.7.3 and I noticed that now Drupal is making teasers by breaking the text in the middle of words. It wasn't so in 4.7.2. The text was broken in paragraphs or sentences and it was a lot better. At least wait until the word ends! Is this a bug or a feature?

Album Module for Drupal

When I installed and activated the ablum module for Drupal I tried to configure its settings. Whenever I access its settings page I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_checkbox() in /home/.detour/sjp775/rockyourart.com/Drupal/modules/album/album.module on line 186

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Add a user registration from within another page

Anyone know how to add a user registration form inside a standard page. I have tried changing the input type to php and then using the user_register() function. This brings up the form, but does not seem to invoke the profile module settings.

Any help much appreciated.

Every admin page visited shows as "Access denied" in the logs?

The problem started after I upgraded my site from Drupal 4.6.2 to 4.7.3.

Every admin page I visit is reported in logs page as "Access denied to admin/[...]", although I do visit them normally. These logs are attributed to Anonymous user, although the visits are done by the admin (myself).

Although this is not generating any noticeable problem, I wonder if this is a symptom of something more serious going on. Should I worry about these erratic logs?

Thanks

Customising $links - I'm stuck!

Must this be so bloody hard? I know I'm not the only one stumbling on this modification (that should be trivial).

I've checked "Read More" Placement, Option to not allow the add comment option if read more., Customising how links ($links) are displayed in your pages and Stanch Theme for Drupal (that also includes a discussion about this) but failed to come up with a solution that works for me and for Drupal 4.7.3

What I want to achieve;

1) On the blog teaser page I only want a "read more" link, preferably inline with the text, and also - and separately - to be able to show the number of comments each ppost have received. So, no "Comments" link, no "e-mail this page" link nor a "print this page" link.

2) On the blog page, I want all links in a pretty block but also be able to break out the "comment" link and put it at the bottom of the text (so it is displayed twice).

With the instructions for the Stanch Theme, I was able to break apart the "read more" link from the rest. However, when I made an argument to make the rest of the links only should be shown on the full node page, the page turned up blank.

Like so:

<?php if ($page == 0): ?>
 (snippet)
<?php endif; ?>

This was the most successful attempt though.

Problem synching local site & server using 'site/mysite.com/...'

I've got all my site files under 'site/mysite.com/...' to keep everything nice and tidy. How can I keep my local site identical to the server though? For instance if the local site is called mysite then the directory will need to be called mysite.com when it is uploaded to the server to work properly.
