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

Drupal and Gallery Pass Thru Authentication

Not sure if this is the right place or not to submit this issue.

I had my site up and working with the intergration between drupal and gallery working.
At least what I thought was working.

i18nmenu translatable user defined menu items - how to

I had trouble finding this (in fact a friend ended up finding some of it for me) so I thought that it was worth contributing to the forum...

The instructions on how to translate menu items using the internationalisation module you first have to install the post Dec 2nd version of i18n (internationalization).... then enable the i18n AND i18nmenu modules... then follow the instructions found in [your domain]/admin/help/i18nmenu which I have included here...

Problem - login block never appears first time I see the site - must reload to see it

Anyone seen this problem before? When I view the site, the login block does not exist. When I reload, it appears. This is, of course, terribly confusing for my users. I'm running 4.5.5. I checked the throttle and the site is very low load.

Anyone have any pointers?

Import content for polls?

Has anyone tried to import content to create polls? I need users to vote on hundreds of terms that will be used in a controlled vocabulary. The terms in question can be exported from another database, but I'd like to put them on my drupal site so that voting and results aggregation are all in one place. I'd really rather not create each poll manually.

Any thoughts would be be welcome.

Submission Queue is malfunctioning

In my Drupal 4.6.3 installation the Submission Queue is malfunctioning. When I try do a vote, then the same post appears one more time, allowing you to vote again, producing yet another one you can vote on...

Moreover:
How to allow anonymous access to the queue (after it is working properly) WITHOUT giving anonymous users the permissions to vote? I simply could not find that setting. Only one: "Access queue"..?

Custom 'home' pages for categories

(Drupal 4.6.4)

I'm pretty sure there's a way to do what I want to do, but I've been looking all over the site for information on how to do this, and finding *bits* of what I'm looking for, but I'm not managing to figure out how to put it all together. So sorry if this seems stupid.

Here's what I want to do:

Our community, which I'm currently migrating to Drupal, is organized on the metaphor of a town, with different neighbourhoods for different areas of interest, such as the Artists' Quarter, the Admin area, the Commercial District, etc. Within each area, there are conferences for more specific interests; the Artists' Quarter has a couple for writers, one for visual artists, one for photographers, etc.

So, I've created a hierarchical vocabulary that replicates these parts of the Town on our new Drupal site. Part of it looks like this:

Arts
--- Alternative Writer
--- Artists' Loft
--- Darkroom
--- Textile Studio
--- Writers' Circle
Downtown
--- Library
--- Repair Shack
--- The Square

You get the idea.

I've also used the taxonomy_menu module to create a menu in a block which lists the parts of Town so people can go directly to their favourite hang outs. Right now, by default, however, the page you will get to if you click the link is simply a list of the most recent posts added to that category.

That's fine, but what I'd like to have is a page that combines both some static content (introduction for newbies, basic information, map, and images) along with the dynamic content below it. I can find how to create such a page using php snippits, but what I can't find is how to change the taxonomy menu to link to the new page rather than the one that's being created automatically. Does anyone know?
