Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

Site Map Module - getting it to work

I'm not sure if I'm hopelessly naive or something isn't working.
I have the "site map" module installed but when I run it all i get is a page with the site name and the words "site map" come up.
I was expecting the module to auto generate the map.

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

An attempt to link webform for registration and ecommerce for collecting registration fees

This is my first attempt at doing any kind of coding since 1991 (before I went into the social science), but I really wanted to figure out how to set up a registration form (for a music festival) that would send people them directly from the registration form to a cart where they could pay the registration fees. So here it is.

The registration form asks how many adults, children under 6, and children over six plan to attend. After filling out the form, the users are sent to a page telling them how much the registration fee will be and inviting them to pay for it using paypal. When they go to their cart the number of adults and children is automatically entered into the user's cart and he or she will merely have to check out.

The code below works for me (after only a little testing), but I know it is still poor. I'm submitting this to help others who might be trying to do this, but I'm also interested in whether or not I've made any horrible mistakes.

Date display in Profiles and elsewhere

I have users that have each created a profile. In this profile they note their date of birth. These are all showing everywhere as:

1970-05-10 H:i

Obviously we don't care about the hours and seconds. In the configuration I see a short date format that includes hours and seconds, but none are availiable that don't have this. Which db table is this format stored in so I can axe the H:i or is there an easier way to accomplish this?

album.module upload and create content 'image' problem - newbie

Hi guys,

This is my first post here - and I'm only new to Drupal - so forgive me if I've posted in the wrong spot, or something.

I've got album.module working nicely on Drupal 4.6 - and it provides the functionality I'm after perfectly.
However, I have found that you need to allow permissions for to 'create images' in the 'image.module' access control settings for users to be able to add a new user album.

The problem with this is that it also adds the ability for users to upload an individual image (through 'create content' menu) that is not part of an album.

Redirecting 301 from old pages

I am converting a site to Drupal.

I want to redirect the old URLs to the new ones, for example:

/index.php?p=abcd-efgh

to

/abcd-efgh

I tried this in the .htacess but it didn't work:

Redirect 301 /index.php?p=abcd-efgh http:/ /www. my_site .com/abcd-efgh

(spaces added in the above example to prevent linking)

Same domain for both old and new URLs.

How to get search to work?

For some reason I cannot search content on any of my Drupal installations. Is there something else you have to do to enable the search box. It always says no results returned. Is cron something that you have to enable on the server, or in Drupal?
