Post installation

Installed Drupal for the first time and that is working fine. I created a menu with an appropriate number of options (and sub-options) that categorize information.

Say I have a first-level menu option (under "navigation") titled "Articles." I want to step outisde Drupal and extract the list of articles (title, author, etc) and, eventually each article itself by making an appropriate SQL call into the DB. The problem is that the nodes table doesn't have a direct reference to the menu options under which the "articles" are categorized (or am I missing something!!!???).

i logged out of my site today (drupal 4.7.2) and noticed that the root page had a pager at the bottom; which i thought was weird as there isn't enough content on the root page for this to occur. i hit the page 2 link at the bottom and noticed it was going to /node?page=1 which was the original "welcome to drupal" page! i logged in as a regular user and and the behavior continued. i also checked different themes (bluemarine, box_grey, marvin) but it appears it's not theme related.

I'm suddenly getting the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tla_ads() (previously declared in /home/.sites/13/site245/web/includes/common.inc(1158) : eval()'d code:7) in /home/.sites/13/site245/web/includes/common.inc(1158) : eval()'d code on line 45

And I can't login to my web site, or at the moment, even raise the front page *to* login. as admin or anyone else (http://www.whatdoesthatmean.com)

I am working through the zacker screencast of how to create a mashup and he is using node_import module. I noticed at the the download page there is only a 4.6 version available. I tried it and of course it errored on me. Is there a new way to upload CSV files in 4.7 that might be different then using the node_import module?

Here is the error that appears when I click on the node import link.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_file() in /home/safeandi/public_html/drupal/modules/node_import/node_import.module on line 58

What can I do to make WordPress use the Drupal user database?
