Post installation

I haven't seen this one mentioned before.

say we have several working sites with the following base urls

example.com/
example.com/red
example.com/green
example.com/yellow
example.com/blue

using custom settings.php files in the sites/ directory and distinct themes by placing themes in sites/sitename/themes, we have several customized sites.

PROBLEM:

we want to manage the example.com/red, example.com/green, example.com/yellow, example.com/blue *content* from the "master" site located at 'example.com/'.

we're sharing all tables, but we want to target node entries to specific sites. for example. we want an about page for each site. so from our master site we create 4 different about pages and for each of these pages, we specify one of the subsites. each subsite then displays the appropriate about page.

for any piece of content created, we want the ability to display it on none, some, or all of the subsites.

ideally we will completely turn off the admin interfaces for the subsites and manage them exclusively with the files in the sites/ dir (where we'll specify site details/settings) AND our master site (where we'll generate content for the subsites).

it seems to me that i might do this by adding a custom field to all content input forms using 'hook_?' and then applying a filter to all requests for content using hook_filter.

i can't believe i'm the first one to come upon this problem.

Is there any special consideration needed to get the Category Module functioning with Forums?

I am in a good position, starting with a fresh site..
I am using Drupal RC3, no taxonomy information defined.
I installed Category from CVS [17/11/06].
I manually installed the taxonomy wrapperi module.

All fine so far.

I go for Forums, 'no Forums Defined'. Fair enough.
I go to Administer- Forums. 'No existing Containers or Forums'

I got a weird IE bug that I seem can't solve...

At my site: www.muiota.net, if you view it in IE, the first line of first paragraph has been "tabbed" (moved 5 spaces to the right). But if you view the site in Mozilla Firefox, it is perfect aligned. I tried to use CSS to reset text-align, but nothing worked. I'm using Drupal 4.6. Any idea how to fix it (beside telling everybody to switch to Firefox)?

Oh, what do you recommend for a good horionztal drop-down menu in the header for Drupal 4.6?

Hi all, I would like new authenticated users who login to my site to be presented with a How To type of homepage that can gives them easy access to things like changing their timezone, while also giving them a general introduction to the site and how to navigate it.

So, can I create a page that all authenticated users see when the login?

And, can I make this page embed certain features that are already built in on other Drupal pages without have to reinvent the wheel?

I think the frontpage module may be similar to what I'm looking for, but I am on 4.7.0-rc3.

I deleted the "primary links" via Admin:Menu. Bad idea. Now the stuff that normally appears in the "left menu" blog (user menu, admin menu) is appearing in both the header and left menu. This is true regardless of theme.

In retrospect, I suppose having the primary links there isn't so bad. I'd appreciate any help on setting it right. The site in question (still very rough) is at http://8stars.org/h2/ ; this is using 4.7rc2.

Thanks in advance.

I have noticed this on drupal.org and my site too, that the block on the right side are moved down when viewing certain content.

On my site, when I put tables in content and for any link that shows teaser all the blocks on right are moved to the last column of table in the content area and the whole page is skewed and messed up.

Does anyone know if this is being worked upon. BTW I am using bluemarine theme.
