Customize forum icons

Hi,

is there a way to customize forum icons per drupal theme? For now I changed them in the forum folder, but each time I update drupal I have to copy my files again.

Thanks

Menu properties - parent item

Why can't we change the 'parent item' for all menus ?

Why only a simplified form is available for some menus (can't even change de description) ?

Using 4.7beta5 if that matters.

Help with taxonomy

Hello,

I am trying to port Free Software Magazine to Drupal.
I am slowly getting there. I've already created my own content type, and am working on the output system.

However...

I am very confused about taxonomy. Our web site is pretty simple. It has:

* Static pages (for example "write for us", "Help FSM", and so on)
* Blogs
* Issues

Under "issues", there is for example "issue 1", "issue 2", "issue 3", and so on.
Under "issue 1" (for example) there are several articles.

When I am in a static page, I'd like the "path" to be "HOME / {$page_name}". For example: "HOME / Write for us", "HOME / help FSM!".

When i click on "Free issues", the path should be "HOME / Free issues". The URL shiuld be something like "http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/free_issues/". The page should have a list of issues (which would be the list of nodes marked as "issues", I assume...?)

When i click on "Issue 1", the path should be "HOME / Free issues / Issue 1". The URL should be something like "http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/free_issues/issue_01". The page should have a list of articles for that particular issue (which would be the list of nodes marked as "issue_01", assume...?)

When you click on an article, I am happy to just have an url like http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/node/32312, to avoid insanity.

I am not too fussed about the blog entries.

Now... what's the right "philosophy" to do this? Shall I create a one term for each issue?

Migrate mySQL dBAse and it's character set

Shock block by category? (image galleries)

If I have several different vocabularies within image gallery, is it possible to restrict a block to show on a couple of those categories only?

I have one block that because there were so many pages connected to it, I restricted it to only show on image types of content. Well, now it's showing up on the new galleries I'm creating and I need it to not do that. Any help/ideas would be great. Thanks!

XML "showtimes" listings, how to process in Drupal?

I am working with a non-profit movie theater in an attempt to streamline the publication of their screenings and showtimes.
