help with complicated category module site structure...

Hi there,

I' trying to set up the structure of my new site, and I'm having trouble how to setup category module's containers and categories correctly.

Here is what I want to do

Let's say it's a car site

for the sake of the example let's say I'm going to talk only about VW's cars...

Ok so the 4 node types are
These node types are also vocabs (containers) as well...

- user review (of a car)
- Car details (written by my or staff writters)
- Picture of the car (submitted by users.. like here is my car... )
- Finally, used car to sell (submitted by users)

And I have 4 categories
Golf
Jetta
Passat
and... hum... Polo

okay...

Now the thing is I want to have category index pages for each node type (easy). So I could in theory see all the cars in the car review page.

But what I want my categories to apply to all 4 node types, So for example in all 4 node types before submitting, the user would have to select the car model (category) he is talking about.

The problem I have is that if I create the same 4 car models categories under each container they won't actually communicate with one another.

So this means that for example I could set up to see all user reviews about jetta... But when cliking on Jetta I would like to see all the nodes that are referring tJetta ordered by node type...

This can't happen if I insert the same 4 categories in each container.

Image module: How to upload custom thumbnails

I need a feature in Image.module (4.6) for uploading custom (my own) thumbnails for every image. I've added code line to image_form function:

$output .= form_file(t('Thumbnail'), 'image_thumb', 50, t('Click "Browse..." to select an thumbnail to upload.'), TRUE);

But can't uderstand what to do next. Can you help me?

Site down...

Having a problem with my site doing down completely. Here's the error:

Fatal error: INSERT command denied to user 'user1079040'@'64.224.109.27' for table 'sessions' query: INSERT INTO sessions (sid, uid, hostname, timestamp) VALUES ('c43399c13f0cf680336454d356f39034', 0, '67.183.76.188', 1147540249) in /home/cust1/user1079040/html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66

Has anyone seen this before? I don't see any record of it in the forums yet. Any help would be much appreciated.

Universal Block Settings?

Right now, it looks like I have to create block layouts (weight, sidebar...etc) for each theme that I use. Is there any way to have universal block settings that are applied regardless of what theme is active?

Followed Flatforum instructions with no effect???

I installed Flatforum for Drupal 4.6 as in the read me instructions putting node-forum.tpl.php and template.php into the push button theme folder, cutting and pasting the flatforum CSS into the pushbutton style.css file, put the module in the modules folder and imported the mySQL file but it seems to have had no effect. Please could any one tell me what I am doing wrong, it looks the same as before - www.selfemployedforum.com

many thanks

creating a latest comments view with views...

Hey there,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but....

I can't make a good latest messages tracker with views...

What I want:

-latest comment title
-latest comment author
-node title where the comment as been posted
-how long ago comment was posted

is that possible with views? I can show latest messages but ot will only show the node title and not the comment title. Also, when I select the username for the comment author, it shows anonymous instead of showing the comment author name.

Any ideas?

Thanks
