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

Problem with the website

I am working on a website based on Drupal for the last 3 months. Every thing went nicely until 3 days back.
I use the images module and the articles module.
Three days back all the thumbnail images were deleted automatically and frontpage had full sized images and I had to redo all the images.
Articles module shows garbled data. I uninstalled and installed articles module again and it did not help the cause. Can anyone help me what should I do and why is it happenning?

"Scripts" folder - What are they for?

What exactly do the scripts in the scripts forlder do?

I know that cron-lynx.sh AND cron-curl.sh are for cron.

But what are: code-clean.sh ANd code-style.pl for?

I am guessing that these are some sort of Tidy to clean up scripts... correct?

Also, how do I use them because I am wanting to clean up some of my modules?

Version number

I know this will sound lame, but I inherited a Drupal site that I am customizing and have no idea what version it is or how to check. Little help?

URL/Path alias not working correctly

Hi,

We've identified a problem on our Drupal sites (4.6.3, Box Grey/phptemplate) where some of the URL/path aliases are not working. Nodes *are* being given aliases when created but the browser is not picking them up.

This doesn't seem to be a problem with Drupal for the following reasons:
- Clean URLs are working;
- URL/Path aliases typed manually into the browser work. The site recognises them.

- URL/Path aliases *are* working on articles published *before* we upgraded from 4.5 to 4.6
- This issue affects *all* types of nodes. There was an issue with book nodes and path aliases but this seems to have been fixed in 2004.

At the time we upgraded we began to use a common codebase where all subdomains are redirected to a common root directory public_html/460 using an apache virtualhost directive (as described here: http://drupal.org/node/20663#comment-36880 ). These are created by our host as we don't have access to the apache config files.

So, I think the issue is to do with the Apache side of things. I've looked at the .htaccess file and there is this section...
-------------------------------------------
# Various rewrite rules.

RewriteEngine on

# Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory and
# the rewrite rules are not working properly.
#RewriteBase /drupal
.
.
.
# Rewrite current-style URLs of the form 'index.php?q=x'.

Dropdowns boxes in top of page....

Im trying to place two drop down boxes in the top portion of my site, throughout every page, right around where my primary Nav links would be.

Would it be possible to add a small block to this area or do I need to edit the theme template?

Im running Drupal 4.6.3, Linux, Apache, modified FriendsElectric theme.

Thanks,

Put some spacing between my block...

Im using a modified FriendsElectric theme. I've changed the look of certain images (block top, block background) but my blocks sit right on top of each other. I've tried messing around with the margins/padding but it just seems to adjust the text elements.

Can someone point me in the right direction for this? Im looking at the Drupal.org site, and basically i just want my blocks to have some space between them.

Thanks,
-=Vince
