Post installation

I've searched the forums to no avail.

How do I detect if the current logged in user is an Admin OR (probably better) has power to moderate (delete) the content I'm creating/editing/viewing?

I'm thinking of using Drupal for a "personal notebook" (haven't actually done anything yet) but when I started to think about how to do it I came across one thing I don't know how to handle: $base_url

My problem is that I plan to run this on a laptop, which will have different addresses depending on where I am. That wouldn't be a problem except that I would like to be able to use this "notebook" from other machines also. So, at some time during the day the machines address would be xxx.yyy.zzz, later it would be aaa.bbb.ccc and for some machines it would be 192.168.0.2.

I want to add a link to the site header 'Create account or login', like you see on most wiki sites. The page.tpl.php template doesn't seem to have any info on the user.

Is there anybody who can tell me how to do this?

Just installed AcidFree for video use on my site. For thumbnail creation it says to use MPlayer as on of the options.

Do I need to download this? Also the predefined path in drupal for MPlayer is /usr/bin/mplayer

I'm new to this, but I can't even seem to find the /usr/ directory.

Can someone give me a few pointers to get me going?

Thanks!

Hi guys

I'd like to know if and how is possible to set up a multilanguage site.

eg. nodes can be entered in more than one language, and the appropriate language will appear in the appropriate localisation

I found this topic http://drupal.org/node/5126 , but it's dated 2004, so I hope that some module came up now.

If possible, I'd like to avoid to touch the php code...

Tnks in advance

please e-mail me the goofy.theme file and whatever other files were altered.
i'd REALLY appreciate it.
thanks!
