Post installation

Hi All,

I have just installed Drupal and it is great but I need to create some site informational pages that don't look like forum posts! I want to be able to create and manage these pages from within the Drupal Admin Suite but it seems impossible.

I'm in real trouble. All of my drupal sites started to error out. But that's not the biggest problem, the major issue is that now i can't login into any of them due to these errors. As i understant some system/MySQL encoding has changed and now my login is not accepted. Can someone please help with this?

I upgraded to 4.7 with no problems, but now when I go to admin/settings the text there is not linked--therefore I can't drop down the form area and change settings. It was working when I first upgraded. I have no clue why it's not working now. I've tested different themes and everything and I've looked all over the forum, but can't seem to find an answer.

A first for me after several previous installs: Firefox 1.5.0.3 does not display changes made via button submissions (eg, edit, settings, etc) until the page is manually reloaded (refreshed). It works on another Drupal site installed with a similar Drupal configuration. Internet Explorer has no problems on either site.

Hi,

It's probably a simple question but I can't find the answer. On my forum the submit date does not appear near the post. How do I make it appear. There's probably something simple like print $theDate .

Can someone help me?

Thank you

Nicholas

I feel like a complete ass asking about this, but I've been through handbooks and how to's and keep coming back to this issue.

What I installed Drupal for was a simple way of presenting dozens of news articles for visitors to read. Easy, right? I mean, the search feature alone is a life saver.

But I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong in managing my content. First of all, I do understand that I add content as a "story" which is all well and good. No problem.

I submit three stories, but unless I want them all on my main page, which I do not, I have no way of finding them, do I?

How do I get a page that just LISTS the titles of the three stories for visitors to click on? There's no... indexing or table of contents type thing I'm missing? I don't grasp how it's content management when even I can't find my own content.

What I'd like, ideally, is for my main navigation block to read "Articles" then people click on that and see perhaps a two column list of article titles they can browse through. That'd be GREAT, since right now I can't even figure out how to set "Articles" to point to, well... anything!

The closest I've seen in surfing through Drupal documentation is something like Modules & Features page where there's a list of links. But... surely that's not hand coded? Each time you add a node/story!?
