How to link to a node

I've just installed Drupal, and started creating my first nodes (pages).
I've installed the tinymce modul to make writing easier.
The problem is, that if I create a link to another page node, that link is not working.
Is there any special way to create these links, or something's wrong with my installation/setup?
I've tried the following:
http://ipaddress/drupal/?q=node/25
http://ipaddress/drupal/node/25
drupal/node/25

Taxonomy question

I'm setting up a website with 4 newspages, each dedictaed to a movie maker. I have therefore set up 'story' pages in the taxonomy module for each of the pages.

On each of these pages I need additional page links to:

1) a detailed filmography (with links to each film - nodes?)
2) a discussion forum for each director

Do I set these sub pages up using Taxonomy? Are these sub-pages vocabularies or terms? And how do I add these links to the menus?

db_query and LIKE...

I am trying to include a WHERE %s LIKE in my db_query, but i end up with:


WHERE %s LIKE /"%%s%/" ...

How do you have a LIKE in a db_query...i'm presuming there must be a different way of doing it? TIA

Open 'full article' in new window for aggregator2 items...

Does anyone know how to make a new window open when a user clicks the "full article" link within an aggregator2 new feed item?

Does this require hacking the aggregator2 module?

Thanks,

admin panel - node id's - inserting code block into a page

Hi,
I'm a n00b where drupal is concerned, "but not to CMS Systems."

My Problem.

I have two seperate web domains, one has drupal 4.6.6 installed, I have a 3rd party supplied code block that has to be installed in a page with php activated. The code block below is to give my family and surfers to our sites a once only login to Drupal and TNG (The Next Generation ... Which is a Web Site Building Server Based Genealogy Software Program which is OnLine - a Live Site )

Below are the "complete install instructions":

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

1. Install TNG and Drupal (see their respective installation
documents).

2. Copy the script index_dr.php into your TNG installation.

3. Create a new page, remember the Node ID

4. Set the content to php.

5. The content of this page should be :

Global $user;
$url="http://www.casnuy.com/TNG/index_dr.php?parm=" ;
$url .= $user->name ;
$url .="|" ;
$url .= $user->mail ;
echo "<iframe src='$url' align='center' width='100%' height='800px' space=0 vspace=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=auto name='pnCPG' onload='parent.scrollTo(0,0);' ></iframe>";

Make sure you include the start and closing PHP tags.
Clearly adjust the URL variable to point to your local TNG installation.

6. You can access the page with "node/node-id from within a Drupal menu.

Flexinode Documentation and Support

I'm still a newbie using drupal but I really like the product. Learning to use and style flexinode on the other hand is a challenge. I'm am not a programmer but I am very technical and can manuver my way through code.

I'm having issues displaying flexinode content the way I need. I can tell it has powerful features but I'm unable to tap into them. Can someone assist me in just the basics for now as to how to set up a felxinode page. All I want is the basics on how to sytle the page.
