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

Theme editor themes don't show...

Hi!

Trying to wrap my head around this drupal thing. Coming from dreamweaver, so this is all pretty weird. Need to get my hands on that css!

So I installed and enabled theme editor. Made a customized theme. And another. Now what? They don't show up in the theme list, so I can't apply them. Am I missing something?

I also installed and enabled the css module, but I don't see any new items in my admin box. Other modules seem to be running fine...

TIA!

Import/export settings

I'm working on a Drupal site with other developers, and we'd like to export various Drupal settings to external files so we can store them in version control, and restore them later to the same DB or a new one. Is there a tool/module to do this?

Debian, Drupal 4.6 and LDAP

So....

I'm trying to get Drupal (specifically with the LDAP Integration module) to authenticate against Active directory.
The installation is Drupal 4.6.5 over Debian, with packaged versions of PHP4 and PHP4-ldap (as well as apache,
mysql and lib-apache-php4).

apt-cache policy shows the following:

php4:
Installed: 4:4.4.0-4
Candidate: 4:4.4.0-4
php4-ldap:
Installed: 4:4.4.0-4
Candidate: 4:4.4.0-4
Version table:

When I attempt to authenticate as an LDAP user I get the following error:

Everybody gets to edit everything?

Hi

One of my Drupal sites is behaving strange in more than one way. For instance, I have enabled 'edit own blog', and just discovered that any registered users is able to edit his/her blog, but also any OTHER blog. This is not happening in my other sites, so I would appreciate any suggestions about what to check.

Thank you!

Taxonomy edits? How?

Hi, I'm running several Drupal sites, but one of them is behaving quite strange. As far as I know, as soon as the Taxonomy module is enabled, all node edit forms should display the defined vocabularies/terms to choose from. However, in this particular site, the module is enabled but the taxonomies are not showing anywhere, not in new blog entries nor in old ones. Of course, the vocabularies ara defined and they can even be edited.

Can someone help?

Thank you!

different kinds of users, different kinds of comments...

Id like two sets of comments for each blog post our users create. Here's the scenario: there are two levels of users. The first level does not have their own blog on our site; lets say they are just a regular member, have some newsletter subscriptions, read a lot of the blogs, and occasionally posts comments on the blogs.

We have another set of users that are the actual blog writers. I would like each of these blog writers to be able to comment on other blog writers (within our site) stories. So from a visual perspective, I would like two columns of comments underneath each blog post.

Lets say Im using a 3 column layout....left column for navigation, right column for ads/recent posts, etc. Middle column for blog posts and underneath each blog post, the middle column will be split into two equal areas. The left side of the middle column will have other blog posters comments, and the right side of the middle column will have standard users (non blog owners) comments.

I'd like for our users to be able to quickly determine which comments were written by other bloggers, and which were written by standard blog readers (using a different color scheme/font/whatever).

Is there a way, when creating a user profile, that a variable is set to either A)blogger or B)reader. From then on, their comments will be placed into the correct location under each blog.

Are there certain modules I should be utilizing?
