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

Userpoints & e-commerce - please share your experience

Hi,

I'm working on a new project I think Drupal is just perfect for... although, I've run into a couple of issues I could use some help with.

I've got userpoints and e-commerce installed on the test site.
My goal is to let users cash in user points in exchange for file downloads, so this should work out great!

Here are my questions:

Since file downloads are not tangible products, how could I bypass collecting address data for the user making the 'purchase'?
I do not want to capture physical address data (since the user is not paying with real money). If it comes down to it, where (point me to a template please) could I edit the address book screen to include default fake data in the fields I don't want the user to input (for example, the words "SKIP THIS FIELD").

Also, in the userpoints configuration settings I seem to be misunderstanding the 'Points multiplier for buying' field. What I want is for (in USD) 1 cent to equal 1 point (therefore, 100 points = 1 dollar). I set the multiplier to 100, but for a $3.00 purchase it informs the user that 'this purchase will cost 3 points' (when what I really want is 300 points exchange). Oddly, I've tried setting that multiplier field to a couple of other values, but for some reason, transactions still say they will cost 3 points. Can anyone tell me what the multiplier should be?

Advice from any folks who have similar setups will be greatly appreciated!

Primary links and taxonomy

Hi,

1. How do I create the primary links based on the taxonomy? So 5 categories = 5 primary links [I don't expect more than 5 or 6 categories].

2. How do the vocabulary for the category becomes the secondary links [maybe 6 or 8 per category]?

Thanks

Extend aliases?

Hi, I'm using the path module to set some aliases, but there's something that I find weak in this module.
Suppose I have 2 categories: node/taxonomy/1 and node/taxonomy/1/10
Then I set this alias: node/taxonomy/1 -> node/category

I'd like that after doing this the second links showed as node/category/10 , but it still shows the original name!

Some way to fix this, or a better module to establish these rules?

Does Drupal offer easy page editing features for non-programmers?

I am new to Drupal, so please excuse me for this silly question.

How do I display blocks based on taxonomy?

I have a sidebar which contains a number of blocks that all relate to the section of the site that a user is in (i.e. the part of the taxonomy tree that they are in).

I am trying to find some way where I can control what blocks are shown based on taxonomy. Imagine the SideContent module but instead of the side content being linked to a node it is linked to all nodes belonging to a certain part of the taxonomy and all it's children.

The standard block mechanism goes some way to achieving what I want, but it only let's you filter blocks based on url, so that's no good.

Does DruPal Support Mod Rewrite WITH Using the Names of Posts in the URL?

I have the default mod_rewrite working on my site, using the node URLS... /node/324 etc

Is there a way to get it to use the Title of the Post as the URL like /Name_of_Post/

Thanks!
