Post installation

My site went down, and this is what my hosting company came back with.

It's 4.6. something...

Info:
Drupal: 4.7
Cronjob ist working
Search: 100% done

Everything seems to be right, but not really. The content of my page is mostly stored in books. The search feature is something relly nice and helpful, but it is not working properly.

The problem is the index. Every normal page is indexed, but not the book pages. I looked into the mysql tables and there are just the normal pages indexed.
I don't know why drupal is doing that. Normaly every node should be indexed, but in this case it is not.

Hello all.

I have installed the Event and CCK modules. I have created a new content type with CCK: funding entry for my funding database. I want the due date for the funding to show up on the calendar.

I have managed to get it working, sort of, in that I have enabled the event side of things and it now has a place to enter Start and Finish times.

I really like the way Drupal works so far but I have one major complaint - the forum posts, stories, pages, etc all go into the nodes/ path.

I understand they are all nodes but this is inconvinient.

For example you might have:

www.site.com/forum

as the link to the root of your forum and then:

www.site.com/forum/1

as the link to your first forum category.

Logic would would tell us that topics within this should be:

BBcode module doesn't work on some threads...

Check this:

It obviously doesn't work in the comments of this thread.

But it does on this new thread:

http://www.planetjazz.org/node/624

How do I access my current path in order to create hyperlinks that are relative to the current drupal site?

For example, my drupal site is in a directory called "bluemts"
To link to node 1 I put the following html in my page:
href="?q=/bluemts/node/1"

Beautiful.

But what happnes when I upload my site to a test server?
What happens when I want to switch visitors to a readonly version of my site when I'm offline and doing maintenance (or heaven forbid my live site blows up)?
