Post installation

I need to build a new theme for my website, but I just don't understand how to do it. The guide over here is not exaclty the most clear guide I ever seen (though, mybe it's just me). So, can anyone please recommand me of another guide? Mybe one that's more newbie oriented?

With thanks

Hi every body,

I have been trying to make drupal send mail via an external smtp mail server, after reading a lot of posts on this forum I found one talking about smtp.module, so I installed it, I created a new account and the registration mail was delivered successfully to the e-mail address. So smtp.module works.

Hello, I'm using Drupal 4.7 and have come across two snags while adding menu items.

1: In some cases, I'd like to add a menu item to point to an anchor on another page. e.g node/2#licensing. It seems drupal parses this and saves url encoded version (of the #), which obviously renders the menu item useless. I've seen some similar discussions on the list regarding anchors, and for now I am using absolute paths (http:// .....) This means that when I upload to my live server, I'll have to re-edit these paths to point to the right place. Some work :-( Any other solutions to this?

I used to have drupal site, and it was good. Then I decided to get myself XOOPS, which sucked a fat one. Drupal was removed from the new webhost when I decided to give it a try, but I still had a copy of the original drupal database I was using.

So I recently installed the latest drupal version and I am having problems: I cannot change the theme, drupal does not detect new themes, and I cannot change any of the settings of the themes, such as the primary links bar.

if (user_access('access content')) {
$result = db_query_range('SELECT uid, name, picture FROM {users} ORDER BY uid DESC', 0, 10);
while ($account = db_fetch_object($result)) {
$items[] = 'picture.'">'.format_name($account);
}
$output = theme('user_list',$items);
$block['subject'] = t('Who\'s new');

I have designed my very first php script that has a user form and displays results from my own table in my drupal db. It uses a while loop while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ ... to display the rows from the table etc...

BUT in my drupal admin logs, i am getting this error:

mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/****/public_html/includes/common.inc(1813) : eval()'d code on line 299.
