Post installation

Hi

Can someone give me a quick rundown of what the difference is between a blog and a story and when each would be most useful?

It seems as though they're identical except that blogs are separate by each user (and possibly grouped together via taxonomy/pushing to the front page). Is that right?

So, if I want a single-blog site, Stories is probably the way to go? No?

What if I have multiple contributors to that one blog? Will story still list each article as by a separate contributor?

I'm wondering, if there's any way to modify the appearance and presentation of the default drupal forums, the way you can do with nodes and so forth.

I was hoping to not only change the way it looks, but also how it works, and while i'm not a programmer, a friend of mine who looked at it, said it'll be a lot of custom coding to make modifications. I know i'm being rather vague here, but from my searches i haven't seen anybody make mods to the forum, so i wanted to get some general info.

Thanks

In a previous post I asked how to display a list of articles (as in Story pages) that I was creating. I got great feedback. However, the module help is a bit lacking once I downloaded and played around.

I've got it installed, however after that I don't know what exactly to DO with it, as I further clarified in my replies to the help in the last posting I made.

I don't really understand how to link the story entries I've created to this Article module, whatever it might do. I have the stories allegedly under the "Articles" taxonomy I created (I do, actually, because right now I'm using a direct link from my menu to my Articles vocabulary). But what next? What exactly am I supposed to magically do with Articles Module? What brilliant line of code do I belch out to get my menu to link to my articles via Article module? Other modules have little help notes and sub sections you can browse, but I'm coming up with nothing on Article.

All I'd like is list of my story entries, by date entered, title only. No excerpts, nothing else. If I could break it down into the three assigned Terms under the Vocabulary, then by date, that'd be super but at this point I just want to know what I have to kick, type or set fire to for the Articles module? Please?

I know everyone here seems to be about 22 levels more advanced than this, and it's possible that I'm just asking too simple of a question to get answered.

When a user with Administer Nodes permissions tries to preview a node before submitting it, it goes to a page such as:

http://www.sitename.com/node/30

And displays the message:

"Your was created."

And a blank node is created.

When I disable Administer Nodes on their role the problem goes away.

I cannot say for sure when this behavior started. I recently upgraded from the 4.7 beta to the 4.7.0 release, so that could very well be when it began.

Hi all.

I am using the userreview module to allow people to vote on nodes. What I'm trying to do is create a new view (a block view) that will show the top 10 rated nodes. It will display the title of the node and the current average rating.

As a test, I create two nodes, MyNode1 and MyNode2. I then voted twice on MyNode1, the first time giving it a rating of 3 and then a rating of 2. The average rating of MyNode1 is now 2.5. I then voted twice on MyNode2, the first rating was a 10, the second was a 9, giving it a average rating of 9.5.

I want my view to display:
MyNode2 9.5
MyNode1 2.5

In my view, I've selected to display two fields, "Node: Title" and "VotingAPI: Voting Results". But, I can't find the correct combination of filters to display what I want. The closest I can get is:
MyNode2 10
MyNode2 9.5
MyNode1 3
MyNode1 2.5

What it's showing is the average after the first vote, then the average after the second vote for each node.

I found this (http://drupal.org/node/53342) in the votingapi bug/feature request tracker, which suggests that 1) it is technically possible and 2) support for the cache values was greatly enhanced in CVS.

I did update my votingapi and views modules to the CVS, but to no avail. (In fact, I didn't see any changes in the views UI with respect to the votingapi cache values).

Any help would be appreciated.
