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

Block visibility and using php code

I have the latest version of drupal and I am slowly going round the twist trying to configure the login block so it only shows to people appearing from a certain ip address.

I have tried every single combination of php you can imagine and either the login block always shows or never shows. The strange thing is if you evaluate the same condition in a normal php script it always behaves correctly.

My latest incarnation of the test code is this:

Sensible "Latest posts" block

The supplied blocks with Drupal are okay, but they don't really do what I want. For instance, although the Tracker module will always tell you where there are "new" posts or comments you haven't seen, none of the blocks do - why is that? It seems such an obvious at-a-glance feature.

I've tried the "Live Discussions" block, but again it doesn't mention when anything's new, and it doesn't include anything that may have been published off the front page (such as blog, poll, or forum topic) but not yet commented on.

My ideal block would do this -

Tweaking my blog

I've just started to implement a blog on my site to be used for news updates as can be seen at http://westburygp.co.uk/blog but I've still got a couple of tweaks I want to make.

Drupal themes

Hi,

I've recently installed drupal on my own webserver, and I am writing a module of my own. However I have some problems with the drupal themes. None of them are showing. I can select de default themes in the Administer->themes page. But my pages keep beeing plain white with blue links and black text (plain ugly).

I've tried setting the basedir (to http://127.0.0.1/drupal NO TRAILING SLASH). But no effect. There is nothing in the logs about any of this, so no clues there either.

Any suggestions ?

Thx !

How to write <title> in others way...

My installation home page has this title:

Widgets, Super Cars, Roulotte, Table - www.mysite.com

When I create new category it becomes:

[category] | Widgets, Super Cars, Roulotte, Table - www.mysite.com

This is not so cool because if this category is absolutely NOT related to "Widgets, Super Cars, Roulotte, Table"....it appears bad title.

How can I do to modify title per content?

Any help appreciated.

Best regards.

Adding an external feed.

This is simple newbie question.

I am creating a newtork of drupal sites that will be feed by RSS coming from a central drupal site. The the most important thing is to be able to create a feed from the central site.

I go to create content and then aggregator2 , I begin filling out the information, but they ask for a URL.
Since the is feed was coming from outside I have a URL which I add and fill out the rest of the info. When I hit preview it shows the that everything is ok.

However, when I hit submit (I get the below).
