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

Positioning the help text above the field in a node entry form

Is there any way to place the help text above its related field in a node entry form without resorting to editing Drupal's core code? I'd love for there to be a Views type module thing that allowed me to customise the appearance of node entry forms, but can't seem to find anything that would do this (I've checked out Views, and it only seems to be able to control the appearance of listing and viewing node entries).

Any help greatly appreciated.

How do I change FilesMatch to exclude a directory?

Regular expressions allow dozens of indecipherable ways to do things that should be simple. Drupal contains a.htaccess file containing the following regular expression. How can I safely change it to let people download files of type .module and .php from directory /xyz and /xyz subdirectories without removing the normal protection for Drupal files?

Bug in Category module, or in me?

Hi

I am fairly new to Drupal, and admit I'm struggling (who doesn't?) to work it out.

I've installed the Category module, but I'm having this problem:

1. I create a menu
2. I assign that menu in a block to the left hand side
3. I create content (container). As the parent I leave as . In "menu settings" I give it a title and I set parent item to my newly created menu.

Automatic node creation

I am currently making a node type that will require the creation of several other nodes whenever a page of this type is added. Is there a function that creates a new node automatically?
I couldn't find one in the API, but it seemed like such an obvious feature that I thought I must have missed it...

hard times with db_rewrite_sql

I'm using in a page template this kind of lines:

$result2 = pager_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT title, path, mid FROM {menu} WHERE pid = '30' ORDER BY weight ASC"));

In order to do some tricky stuff with the menu that I need to do. Everything was working until I loaded the i18n module. Now I get the error:

safari authentication blindspot?

Hi folks,
I administer a drupal based website. I recently had a report from a user that he was able to get back onto the site as an authenticated user, bypassing the login page, by simply clicking on a link in his history folder.

This was after he had closed the browser and - if he did it properly - cleared the cache.

How is this possible? Does Safari have some weird 'autosave privacy details' aspect he doesn't know about? Does he just not know how his browser's working and this is a non-issue?
