Post installation

I would like to make a form that will allow people to choose what categories to view using drop down menus.

Basically, I want a base url of "taxonomy/term/"

Then I want 2 or more pull down menus that will add to the base url.

example:

[pulldown menu] (options 1,2,3,4,5)
[pulldown menu] {options 6,7,8,9,10)

If someone chooses term 2 from the first menu and 9 from the second menu, I want the form to create a link like:

"taxonomy/term/2,9"

I'm considering setting up Drupal for use by a school. I wanted the teachers to be able to post information to keep the parents "on board" with what is going on in the classroom (assignments, events, etc). I thought that the blog feature of Drupal would be particularly useful for this purpose. I'm not that familiar with the permission scheme in Drupal, so I'm going to borrow some terminology from Linux. (PS I have several years experience in LAMP web applications, so go ahead and get technical).

I need to have all content be moderated by a school-level admin. Generally, this person would not be involved unless there was a need to get him her involved (inappropriate content, for example). They would have the power to set up a page for each classroom and/or special project and assign permissions as described in the next paragraph.

I would like to have each classroom as a "group" with one classroom_admin responsible for administering their classroom's content (creating the content on the main page for the classroom, etc.), and several possible "users" (classroom_contributors?) who would be allowed to post content to the pages that classroom "owns" only. A possible variation of this idea would be that the classroom_admin would preview all posts before making them public.

I need to have each blog protected from other classroom_admins/contributors.

This could be scaled out to host all of the schools in our town, eventually, so I'd like to set out with that in mind. I'm thinking that I would need just a couple roles defined, one for the school_admin to oversee all posts for that school, a classroom_admin as described above, and classroom_contributors.

Hi All.

I have installed ePublish and have created some terms under a new vocabulary, "Issue." I then created an Edition and placed several pages and blogs underneath it. My pages have one of the taxonomy terms attached to them, so I would think that when I view my current issue, or go to it directly, I would see all of the "articles" already in view like a newspaper.

Instead I get just a list of headlines. :(

I have tried it with and without adding headlines in that section of the admin page. Without headlines, I get a blank page.

I inherited a drupal site that has articles, books, news, etc...with all kinds of spelling/grammar errors throughout, is there any way I can search and replace across all the data in the DBs?

TIA!

I want to display the weather on my page. Right now I have a block that contains the HTML link to weather.com. What I'd like to do though is gather the XML data from NOAA and take what I want from the file and display it on my page. Is there a module in Drupal that will parse the XML from an RSS feed and display it how I'd like? I'm using Drupal 4.6.5

On my site there is a place where I don't want that the nodes have Author/date/taxonomy/link... Only title and Body. I modified the theme, but in this will affect the news menu too(where is a need for uthor/date/taxonomy/link... )

How would you solve this?
