Post installation

Hi everyone,

I want to design a layout that has two columns of teasers. I foun dthis page

http://drupal.org/node/27441

which gives a snippet on how to do it. Unfortantly when I follow the instructions I get a page which displays only my teaser and nothing else.

When invesitgating it seems to be the method call I add in node.tpl.php casuing this, however I cannot figure out what it wrong with the method.

I am a beginner at Drupal so any advice would be appreciate it.

Many Thanks

Hi guys!

I've been searching Drupal.org up and down, and I can't find how to create a php code that returns the url (or at least the path alias) for the current user profile page (i.e. the path alias for site.com/user/x).

I have this code in a form for a shoutbox:

<input type="hidden" name="mail_or_url" value="http://www.site.com/{$user->name}" />

I've been wanting to convert my personal site over to a CMS for some while, since it's gotten increasingly hard to manage as it's grown, but I needed something with more structural flexibility than most of them have. Drupal seems to be the clear winner on that front, so I've got it installed on a test subdomain and am trying to get it configured the way I want.

I've been reading up on the taxonomy system, and it's starting to make sense, but I'm still a bit muddled about certain aspects of it, so I'm hoping someone can help me out.

What I want to do is this: have six major topic areas, and within each one certain features such as articles, book reviews, web site reviews, etc. So far so good -- I can set up one vocabulary for topic and another for content type, and each new story will get tagged with one of each, right? But here are the two things I'm not sure about:

Within each of the six main topic areas, there are a number of subtopics, at least for the areas with the most content (articles and web reviews, mostly). The number of subtopics varies from one area to the next, from around 8-10 at the low end to 25-30 at the high end. So I suppose the obvious solution would be to make topic a hierarchal vocabulary, where all the subtopics would be subcategories of the main six. But the thing is, I want to treat the main six a bit differently than the subtopics. I'd like for them each to have their own intro page, with a description/introduction, and then links to the various types of content (articles, book reviews, forums, etc.) within each one, and maybe the option of varying the theme slightly for each (different header image, for example). But I don't want to have to do that for each subcategory. Is this possible?

Greetings!

First off, I am impressed with drupal. Always have been actually. I just put together a site to showcase some of my wifes writing in just a few hours at profaith. Most of this time was spent finding graphics that my wife liked, and that I could buy. The rest of the time was spent installing various modules, picking the theme I wanted to start with and "countrifying" it with the approved graphics.
