Post installation

How do I go about changing node types for various posts?

I'm in charge of re-doing a site that was not organized well at all.

Many items were posted as "pages" when they actually should have been "blogs" or "stories."

How can I easily go about changing these? I could go through and copy/paste into a new node, delete the old one, and use an URL alias on the new post that allows the old address to point to it. However, that's time consuming-- especially for more than a hundred posts.

Howdy All-

I'm working with a kayaking school have run into a challenge (for myself). We're trying to offer lists classes as events, so people can see what's coming up and/or select skill levels and types of classes. No problem. Now, we want them to be able to buy a class/signup online. So we can make a class a product. That works alright, for now. Now the crux:

I' m, for sure, totally nuts : I can't access in the administration to some themes.
I have 5 themes in the directory
- bluemarine
- box_grey
- chameleon
- ...

but I can access only one : chameleon

Did I miss something ?

When users post content on site (comment, private message), they clicks on submit button twice or more than they post multiple posts with same content.

Why does it happen? is it a hardware problem on my server?

And how can i fix this?

This is a lame question, I suspect.

I'd like to create an email list registration form that displays in the blocks section. Ideally, if a person signs up for the email list, it should add a "thanks-for-registering" type of display in the box, but not change the page context (i.e., a link to a custom form created in the survey module is not what I'm looking for).

I'm fairly new to drupal-style php, but I know enough to hack my own modules from pre-existing code.

Due to a problem with attachments in my flexinode event types, I am thinking of using taxonomy instead.

I have three event groups:

1.) Orgn. event
2.) Member event
3.) Other event

I have three modes of participation that could apply to every one of these groups:

1.) Private event
2.) Public event
3.) Paid event

I have nearly 20 event types such as annual day, rally, book release, grant release etc that could also potentially apply to both the event groups and the modes of participation.

How do I set up this vocabulary so that I can have the following type of urls for every event node:

1.) www.domain.com/events/orgn-events/node-title
2.) www.domain.com/events/orgn-events/paid/node-title
e.) www.domain.com/events/orgn-events/rally/node-title

Similar urls with the member events and other events.

I have been suggested to have the event types is in a separate vocab, but when I do this, I can't have urls like www.domain.com/events/rally because 'events' is already taken in the other vocab.

I can do something like this:

Vocab: Events section

-Events (Parent term)
--Orgn. Events (child term)
----Paid
----Public
----Private (sub terms)
--Member Events (child term)
----Paid
----Public
----Private (sub terms)
--Other Events (child term)
----Paid
----Public
----Private(sub terms)

With pathauto set to [catpath], I think this will give me urls like:
