Post installation

Hello,

I have a test drupal site with blumarine theme. Each node have creation time and is displayed in a small gray style under the title of the node, just like "hakeem - June 9, 2006 - 14:57" . However, for forum nodes this is not the case. Why?

I mistakenly locked myself out of my drupal site using [b]access control[/b] and now all host are denied. Is there anyway to recover from this?

PLEASE HELP!

I have a training scenario where I need to oversee a student learning how to administrate a Drupal site from the ground up. I know I could log in as the admin and assign myself a specific user role that includes the admin functions, but this would still require that my student admin remember to grant me access control permissions every time she adds a new module -- onerous to remind her and impossible for me to doublecheck as the user.

Can 2+ members be co-administrators? I'm suspecting not, since it looks like it's linked to the uid=1 field in the database. Or is it?

Quite simple this one, I hope.

My profile.module freeform lists aren't linking.

It should be linking as 'interests' here on drupal.org -

http://drupal.org/user/XX/edit/Personal%20information

I do have two users with the duplicate values -- although I suspect that is not required. All I get is a plaintext list, no links. (?)

This should be simple to do, but I haven't gotten response to earlier request(http://drupal.org/node/63522
). Rant further down the page, but first my immediate request.

I want to have the specific user's blog page, eg "Jim's Blogs" list all of their blog posts to date, in date order (recent to earliest), on one page-- or at least with X number of posts per page and then a pagination set of links. Default currently lists only one post at a time with a series of pagination links, making it awkward to see a whole series of blog posts by a single user over time on a page.

It seems to me that the easiest thing would be to hack to blog.module code to do this, since I think this is where the display for single user is drawn from, but I don't know which lines of code control this. I have searched and searched the Handbook, forums, etc., and can't find where this is referenced.

Drupal Rant
Rants against Drupal seem to get noticed more than questions about usage, but this isn't just a ploy to get noticed, I'm really frustrated about this aspect of Drupal.

This is one of the most frustrating things about Drupal for me. I'm not a coder, but I'm savvy enough to mod things and willing to experiment on my own. But unless a module is already created for something (and doesn't involve changing twenty other things to implement), or you are part of the arcane, advanced coder fraternity, you can't get answers! When I get no answer it's hard to know exactly what this means. I don't know if the thing just passed people by, or I asked a stupid question, or the experienced people go "He should already know this or don't use Drupal...", or nobody knows, or what.

I've got Drupal 4.7.2 and nice_menus. Now I need to setup the site to another language (german/english). I' ve installed the latest version of the Internationalization Module and I am able to create nodes in both languages. Now I need to switch the menu to one of the language.

All I need is an exact copy of the existing site. Every page/node should exist in both languages (the admin area don't need to). I read the documentation but it seems to be not very detailed.
