Post installation

Hi , we have just installed drupal 4.7 , and so far it looks good and meets our needs.
but as this drupal system will serve as a school portal i need to give teachers access as writers so they will have a free method to add and edit content to the portal with the correct group perrmissoins in mind.

I created my own content type using flexinode in which i added ability to upload an image file and another file (meant to be a video). I am trying to create videocasting site using drupal. I have run into two problems. One the flexinode fails to display the image (thumbnail). Second i dont know how to change the layout of the nodes content. I ead through the posts here and one of them had a recipe that required printing node->flexinode_n type of fields. How do i know what is the field number. Also how do i play the video file uploaded

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm interested in making a home page that has a vastly different look n' feel that the rest of the drupal site.

So far I'm onto the idea of using the theme mechanism to doing this. I had high hopes for the section module to facilitate this (establishing a 'section' just for this specific page) but have been having a hell of a time getting sections to work on my specific drupal deployments.

When the "drupal" module (the one that allows you to register your site with other Drupal sites) is enabled, whenever I edit some items under "settings" (for example, administer >> settings >> poormanscron, or even administer >> settings >> drupal to configure the "drupal" module itself), I get an error message when I save the configuration. The error message looks like this:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

I have a link within my block that provides a link to Drupal's contact form. I would like my visitors to report anything that they don't like about the site or found some material that should not be put online. Once that link is clicked, would it be possible to fillup the Subject or Message by some default values. I am thinking of filling up the Subject field with the refering URL but don't know how. Appreciate of advice. Thanks.

Hi

Drupal install is working fine except that any page that requires a 302 redirect (such as login, logout, search) results in a blank page being returned and an HTTP status of 200.

The install has been happily working on Dreamhost but since transferring to Go Daddy has had this problem.

Oh, I put two php scripts in the Drupal install dir and redirected one to the other. It worked fine, so the problem must be with Drupal, or Drupal's interaction with the new server environment.

Any ideas?
