Post installation

I am using the ecommerce module and wanted to set the postage for the overall cart before sending to Paypal but I can't see where to do that and there is very little on here about that.

Thanks

For example, I have a flexinode node type called "recording," which I would like to have the url scheme recordings/artist/song_title. I tried recordings/[flexinode_1]/[flexinode_2] in pathauto but that didn't work. Is there any way to do this (have flexinode fields be visible to pathauto)?

I am trying to do a multisite drupal setup where 2 sites share all tables except the variable table, i have tried setting db_prefix to array('variable'=>'blah_'); and then making the table blah_variable but i get this error when I try to change the theme:

user warning: Table 'blah_variable' was not locked with LOCK TABLES query: DELETE FROM blah_variable WHERE name = 'theme_default' in C:\Inetpub\drupaldev\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 124.

and when I try to go to the settings page all I get is a blank page. Any ideas on where I went wrong?

Hi. I'm currently rebuilding a website that uses regular pages and unpleasant navigation solutions to a more friendly book page based site. It's much easier for the people maintaining it, because they add or remove pages directly into / from the site's structure. However, I want to remove the previous, up and next links from the layout. Now I've read some pages on this here, but it seems there's currently no real solution to that, or is there? I'm not so happy with just using CSS to hide that specific div. Any help would be great!

I would like to have node type specific

"submitted by" text variations -
(and even varied formatting optionally e.g.:
- two line versus one line
- different justifications
- varying link sets)

for example:

"written by" for page nodes

"posted by" for blog nodes

etcetera

Right now, the only way I could find to do that would be modifying the code in phptemplate.engine - which seems like a pretty severe hack.

Are there alternative - more elegant and appropriate ways to do this?
