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

where did the tempate headers go?

Upgraded from 4.5 to 4.7 and lost the header section from all templates. I have a Plesk installation. Tried several things, including putting drupal in root directory and subdirectory. recent version, with bluemarin, is here:

New user posting, "read more" & blog content

I have 3 questions.

1) When new user registers on my Drupal web site he/she doesn't have an option to creat content, only to add comments!? How to change that? I want that every person who registers have Create content link.

2) When I write new post I have only a Body box where I enter article. However, I don't see another box, that is usual with other app if I want that I make teaser articles with Read more link. How should I do that?

List of all a site's feeds & combining feeds

Hi,

Using Drupal 4.7, what is the best way to make an automatically updating list of all the feeds for a given vocabulary on its own page?

Also is there a user-friendly way to combine feeds? e.g. a user can tick boxes next to two feeds and output the url for a combined feed? This kind of functionality would certainly be useful for sites which use tagging instead of fixed categories...

Cheers,

Alex

I would like to import 700 club chapters into our new webpage. Is there a way to so using drupal?

I have a spread sheet with just under 700 chapters profiled, with 12 contact fields for each one. Is there a module which would allow me to import this information as a csv and auto-generate 700 different page nodes, ie. one for each record that displays the chapter information.

I was hoping that the import/export module might be the so called 'magic bullet", but while it does generate the page nodes.. these pages contain no information from the record and are not titled. Rendering it somewhat useless. Am I doing something wrong?

When I attempt to generate these pages using the "import/export" module, I drop the data in the text box, ripping it from notepad, which in turn is used to open a csv file generated by Microsoft excel from a spreadsheet. I select "Insert non existing records" as my Action.

The module can be found here:

http://drupal.org/node/14858

Judging from this post: http://drupal.org/node/35658
This is the module I want. However, I feel it is my ignorance that is preventing me fusing it. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Another module that I encountered was the "Node Import" module.
http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/node_import,
but my efforts to install it proved fruitless.

I assumed that one merely had to copy the module file given into the module directory of the drupal installation. However, when I do, and then journey to administer/access control to make it visible, it simply isn't there.

How to use bbcode formatting bar?

Form populated by database

I'm wondering if someone could explain or point me to an appropriate post. I'd like to figure out how to get multiple selects populated by the profiles in the database. The idea is that a user could find other users by going to the form, choosing a city from one select form, hobby from another form and then be given a list of all users from that city/hobby combo. E.g. User chooses Winnipeg and hockey, click submit and are directed to a page of all users from Winnipeg who like hockey (virtually everyone in that city I imagine).
