Post installation

I am setting up an online school. I have used flexinode to create node types Instructor and Lesson. I have created a phptemplate (node-flexinode-n.tpl.php) for my Instructor pages which works fine, but now on each Instructor page I want to list all the Lessons that instructor has authored. It seems that tagnode was created for exactly this, so I must not be configuring it properly. Here is what I've done (following the tagnode README):

1. "Instructor" is the tagnode and "Lesson" is the taggee.

2. I went to admin>categories>add vocab and created a vocabulary called "Instructor". Under Types, I checked "Lesson". For now, I left "Required" blank because it is not clear if that means it is required for all Lesson nodes or all nodes of any type (the former is what I'd want).

3. I went to admin>content>configure (tab)>content types and clicked the configure link next to Instructor. At the bottom of the page in the Tagnode section I selected "Instructor" and pressed Save Configuration.

Finally I try to create or edit a Lesson. An Instructor drop-down appears along with my other taxonomy options but the drop-list only has "" on it (I have two nodes of type Instructor).

Now comes the discovery that led to the subject of this post. As I was repeating the instructions for step 3, I noticed that the Tagnode setting for Instructor was "none". I set it again to Instructor, pressed Save Changes, and clicked the configure link again... only to find that the Tagnode setting was still "none". If I set Instructor'sTagnode setting to one of my other vocabularies the setting sticks; only setting it to Instructor does not.

Hi everyone,

I have a problem and hopefully someone can help me out with this. I want to create thumbnails at 175x100. is there a way to do that easily? If the image was 200x200 I would be ok if it created itself in a 175x100 div tag with the overflow:hidden attribute. Does this make sense? Basically I don't want to stretch the size in any case.

Thanks so much in advance.

Cheers,
Wes

How would one implement user comments a la myspace, where another user could leave a comment on a users profile, but not necessarily on to a node? This would be a comment that all users could see. Anything like this exist?

$seqid isn't set anymore in my phptemplate (Testing with 4.7 Beta3). Is there a replacement, do I need to make a hack, or does this need to switch to a bug report?

Is there any way to include the taxonomy term in the title of a post? For instance, a simple taxonomy system where a story can be news or off-topic. Then you'd post something entitled "Palestinians go to polls" and put it in News. On the front page, it says News: Palestinians go to polls, but when you click it, it shows the real title with the News: part removed.

I can't think of any way to do this with a deafult install. I guess I could modify my theme to include it... Are there any modules that can do it? Taxonomy_context looked good, but it's for 4.7 only, and I'm running 4.6.

Using Drupal 4.7 with the story module. On the main page, the post (submitted by) info and the categories does not show up on the front page for users that are not logged in. This is the only node that behaves like this, and the information is missing ONLY on the front page. If an anonymous user views the individual node, all the information is there.

The story node-type behaves as normal for registered users.

Any ideas where I can find that setting?
