Post installation

Im having trouble with using Categories to sort content for a web-magazine.

Basically I have sections for content, which wouldn't make sense for a menu system to go below the top level (The navigation should be things like "Feature story, advice, editorial" and go down from there, not have containers or categories that create sub-levels of menus between the nav system and the content.)

Ive created one container for each content type, with category named the same thing and it doesnt want to sort anything during creation.

I'm using the Category Module package to create a a single container with 6 categories. Each category has 1-8 pages associated with it. What I'm trying to do is, when you're on a category page (or just a page within a category) I want to have a list of the pages within that category appear on a side navigation area. Each item in the list will link to that page. Has anyone tackled this before? The answer may be easy for some, but I've searched and come up with nothing thus far. Am I going about this the wrong way?

Ok... The documents suck. I think we all agree. Well, now. They don't actually suck, but there's a missing overview/general introduction. I'm going to try, and explain, as a Drupal newb (Linux since Slackware .89, or some such), but LAMP expert.

First, you need to know that Drupal does way more to help you than you think in making multiple sites work off a single installation. That's part of the problem with the docs. It's assumed you know this stuff. The key bit is that Drupal looks for sub-site subdirectories based on the inbound host/domain name, and uses the appropriate one, if found. You don't have to do anything other than set these things up so they work.

Second, you only need to set up the Apache virtual hosts to point at the Drupal installation we're talking about. Read the Apache docs on the VirtualHost, and ServerAlias directives. You may have to read up on DNS configurations to get your domain names to point at the proper IP. 99.9999999% of the time, when you register the domain name, you can take care of these both. In any case, it's probably going to be your service provider in a commercial environment, and your systems administrator in other environments. If you're administering your own box, or test box, like me, you may have some reading to do.

Let's assume you have Drupal working properly on an Apache site with a domain name of example.com. You'd better get this far before trying to get the multi-site thing going.

Hi,
I have setup Drupal 4.7 for the first time. I sent my first story but encountered an problem. In add a story screen you can input non-english chars. Even in preview screen they look fine. But when it's published those non-english characters are replaced by ? (question mark). How can I solve this problem?

p.s: I haven't changed any setting and all charsets are set to UTF-8.

Hi,

I provided many products in Drupal4.7.3 and ecommerceCVS (last version).

The products characteristics are represented vertical in the product view.

Pro
title link
Image
description
price
add to card (button)

I would like that the products characteristics are represented honrizontal in the product view.

title link - Image - description - price - add to card (button)

I can realize it in Drupal e-Commerce modules.

I thank you in advance for all ideas

One of my members just submitted a rather long article to the forums and we ended up with lots of mysql errors of the form :-
