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

How do I get a summary of postings generated by a taxonomy menu?

Hi,

I've managed to successfully link my taxonomy terms to menu items, but trouble is I want to include a summary listing of the postings before the postings themselves.. have tried node list module with tracker/&type=taxonomy/term/id but it brings up an empty posting list.. any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated!

Auto image resizing in nodes

Hi,

How to hide a block if the node type is image?

Hallo!

How do I have to configure a block to hide if the node type is image?
I use a fixed width theme, if the user clicks on a picture to view it in original size, I want to hide the blocks.

Thanks!

Order total and PayPal

I have set a shipping price for my products and when I add a product to the cart the order summary displays the subtotal, shipping cost and total.

When I click on 'place your order' the price in PayPal is just the subtotal. Shipping cost and tax are not included.

Does anyone know why this is?

How do I choose Blocks visibility by taxonomy?

I need some pages to have certain blocks, and some pages to have diffrent ones. How do I do it?
I think maybe using Taxonomy_theme, but that still require me to write my themes.

So I guess my questions are:

1 - Is there a better, faster way to do it?
2 - If not, then where can I read on how to write me themes (or more to the point, how to set blocks visibility in themes)?

Many thanks

Print time of ping in ping_server

I'm sure this is simple but right now my brain has ceased to operate.

I'm using the very useful ping_server module to alert me on the status of cron runs. I'm using it to notify me of when cron has run sucessfully on about 20 or so Drupal 4.6 sites that I'm having to admin. There really isn't a very usefull way to gather that very simple piece of information across many sites but its obviously simple if you only have to deal with one. I've tried to find a non-invasive and low overhead way to retrieve this information without sucess. There is some useful stuff in this link http://drupal.org/node/42498 in which the patch submitter notes

"I realized that Drupal doesn't keep track of the last cron run, which is strange, since it adds a watchdog() after every run but nothing keeps track of the time of the last run. So this patch fixes that and as a result, cleans up a few core modules to make use of this new variable."

I've added the pinging code to the ping module on one of the sites and it is working perfectly. The only problem is that is doesnt' give me the time of the ping .

The lines print like this:

Recently updated sites

    site1.com - site1slogan
    site2.com - site2slogan
    site3.com - site3slogan
    site4.com - site4slogan

As you can see the missing piece of information is the ping time which would also be the cron run completion time for the site. So site3.com could have in fact not run cron for two weeks but there would be no way to know. Just simply adding the time of the ping would make this aveyr usuful.
