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

is this possible to do?

i've created various vocabolaries...

and when a user for example, goes under "travel" and create a content, it will automatically fall under 'travel" category... and so on.
currently when I create a cotent, i have to choose between all the available categories.. it can be tedious once the vocab. becomes very large.

can someone show me how to do it? appreciated

custom flexinode index page

I wasn't too sure where to post this, so I have chosen here... Sorry, if it's wrong...

I am using the flexinode module in 4.6.3 to create a custom page type that I am very happy with and am deciding whether to leave it as a flexinode page, or create a custom page type based on the page/story/node content type... (as I feel the following question is going to be put into the too hard basket)

1) I want a particular type of flexinode page (one that we'll call 'recipes') to have a custom type of index page so that when all the pages are listed in the index (ie with all the teaser elements) then it is placed into a nice table, tabulated across the page without comments, author etc etc. At present, the flexinode title is in a h2 header, and a heap of information life teaser (which I want to keep but put on the same line as the title), comments, 'read more', read count, submitted by and date as well as category. All those last fields are still required or wanted, just not on this page.

So in essence, I am asking, like we can create custom node pages (node-story.php) or something similar, can we do something like this with the flexinode pages? (I am assuming not since the page types are dynamicly created and stored within a database - ie the template for them is stored, so to speak)

2) If I have to create my own page type based on my flexinode data template... how do I do it? I can create simple custom pages based on the page node type as per the instructions found on the drupal page, but adding custom checkboxes, text fields and the like.... it's a bit beyond me

Why "table doesn't exist"?

I installed Drupal 4.6 successfully and would like to install some modules but often got the similiar problem. Here is an example. I want to install event modules. After creating event database and use phpmyadmin to load the datatable, I activated the event module via admin->module. However I got the warning on top of my page as following:

user error: Table 'wuh_drpl2.event' doesn't exist
query: select MIN(e.event_start) AS event_start, MAX(e.event_end) AS event_end FROM event e in /home/wuh/public_html/home/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.
user error: Table 'wuh_drpl2.event' doesn't exist
query: select MIN(e.event_start) AS event_start, MAX(e.event_end) AS event_end FROM event e in /home/wuh/public_html/home/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.
user error: Table 'wuh_drpl2.event' doesn't exist
query: SELECT n.nid, e.event_start FROM event e INNER JOIN node n ON n.nid = e.nid WHERE n.status = 1 AND ((e.event_start > 1136095200 AND e.event_start < 1138773599) OR (e.event_end > 1136095200 AND e.event_end < 1138773599) OR (e.event_start < 1136095200 AND e.event_end > 1138773599)) ORDER BY event_start in /home/wuh/public_html/home/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

I have no idea how this happened given I did successfully create the event table and load the event.mysql.
Similar problems happened when I tried to install some other modules as well.

Anybody can help here, very much appreciated. Please assume I only have minimal database knowledge when you reply.

Forum Module Posting Problems - Can create Forums and Containers but can't post?

I've followed the instructions on http://drupal.org/node/24475 and http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/forum...

So I've checked that I have Taxonomy and Comments modules enabled. I've searched drupal... no solutions...

I can add containers and forums in the admin>>forum menu

But when I browse to url.com/forum click into the forum I created and click "Post new forum topic." I can create forum type nodes...

taxonomy_access and blocks

How would I set a block to only be seen by someone who doesn't have a role set? I'm using the taxonomy access module.

Basically I want a header block to tell people that they haven't uploaded a user profile image yet, if they haven't.

I've set up a role to assign to users when they upload a pic, but can't figure out how to display the block if they aren't flagged for that role.

Migrating Node Post Data Between Users

Dear All,

I have been logging into my account as userid 1 since I set it up, but changing the name and filling in the details. The thing is, I've since learnt that userid 1 has special priviledges, and so it's a bit of a security risk to use it except when necessary. I'm also not going to be administering the site forever, as someone else will be taking it over in July.
