Post installation

Hello,

I'm trying to setup an ecommerce site for my Mom. I stumbled upon Drupal, while trying to figure out the options to setup a site (without spending too much for the monthly cart/cms/transactions/hosting fees). I believe Drupal could be the solution to help my Mom launch her site with minimal costs.

In the last couple of days I have setup a website (www.carunya.com) using Drupal and Ecommerce 4.7 module. Would like to get some help with the following -

1. from administer > create content > product, I am able to create an apparel or shippable product. However I'm unable to add any images as part of the product details.

2. I also created some 'product variations' via administer > store > settings. Later during the product creation I am unable to select just the necessary product variation for use. i.e. If colors, size, & features are the available product variations, The subproducts created uses all the variations even if some of them are not applicable for the current product.

3. I created two separate products (silk throw & embroidered pillow). Next created a menu item 'All Products' to link to these products.

4. How do I populate the products, so that there is some hierarchy for the products? i.e. Ideally I would like to have a left sidebar navigation section where I can clearly display products by category and/or vendor.

I guess some of my difficulties are related to the fact I'm not sure of the correct way to build Drupal sites. Greatly appreciate your help as I progress with my site development.

I use the event module and the calendar to browse the events often does not show the actual date. If i add a new event the calendar adjusts and the actual date is displayed. But if i do not add a new event the calendar displays a passed day!?
I thougth the problem might have been the cache, but I turned the cache off for the page and it did not help?
Any suggestions?

Here is the General Idea of what I want to try to do.

I setup two different taxonomy vocabularies. I want pages/stories/disknodes to be allowed to be in either of the two taxonomies, but only one of the two. A node can not be in both. So when I create the page (or story/disknode), I choose which of the two taxonomies it belongs to, and I can only choose one or the other. However, the next page (story/disknode) may go into the other one.

Does it make sense? Basically, allow all content to be a member of one and only one vocabulary.

Thanks

Just thinking

I was testing the new CCK release And released that I don’t need the current title that you would find in the story and page module

What I’m wondering is can this title in the CCK be suppressed also can the title be dynamically created from other fields created from CCK module, but it still appears as if title was created in the usual fashion.

Really what I am wondering is how the timings in rendering the title with the view module work and can I fake how the title is created in the views module.

I am trying to follow the great video tutorial on creating a mashup with Google Maps but I can't get past the part about adding fields using CCK.

No field modules are enabled. You need to enable one, such as text.module, before you can add new fields.

I have all of the field type modules enabled and so I'm not sure why the error above appears.

I have 4.7.2 installed and running fine. As admin I am, however, unable to create either new menus or new blocks. What I mean is that the option to do either is not available on either the menu or the block pages under administer. I've had Drupal 4.7 running for several weeks but only now discovered this. I have access control properly configured (I am admin so I know that this is not the issue). I know that I should be able to do this.... Any help would be much appreciated. (I searched but could find nothing in the archives.) Thank you.
