Post installation

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:

Hello!

Im the owner of a very popular skateboard site, and we have decided to give Drupal (intergrated with Vbulletin) a try.

I really like how it works, especially compared to the childish slow workings of Mambo/Joomla. Very much in our style.

But Im trying to get a few nodes setup for content and its hard to start because therse a lot of things that need to get done.

I did every little thing the forums suggested up to and including changing file permissions. For some reason, the blog-it pictures (blog.png) just say "blog it" and do not show the pictures/images. I looked it up by doing view-source when I was logged in and the paths are correct and going to the misc/blog.png file, but for some reason, the little pics won't display! I have been scouring the internet to find out what the problem is. I am able to display png's on my server (which is not mine, it is at my webhost) and also I am able to display other png images at other websites in all of my browsers. I need someone to see if they can see the little png's or not so I created a test login because you cannot see them unless you log in. The png's are all on top of the news aggregator stories. Here is where to login: http://www.kneewall.com/news/ and the username is "test" and the password is "testpng" .

Let me know if you see the little png's because I cannot figure out for the life of me what the problem is! I tried changing my file upload permissions to private, use clean url's etc., but nothing seems to work! Has this happened to anybody else? I do not run a server on my home computer, I just have a webhost and they offer Drupal to use for cms, so I am just trying it out.

Let me know if you see the png's and also how to fix it please.

I wish this forum had a more advanced search feature. I could not find what I was looking for at all, but I am sure I am not the only one with this problem.

I have had a site running for a few days now and have found Drupal to be a great CMS but difficult to get started. Could someone give me a few pointers by way of modules to try or tell me something can't be done? I am spending quite a bit of time searching for posts that may or may not help out.

Here is what I am trying to do:
1. I would like to set up a family page, and a page for each family member.
2. Each family member would have thier own static page referenced by a primary link. My kids want a blog and a forum and I would like those to be referenced from thier page. If someone goes to my daughters page, they should have a link to her blog, her forum, or any pages she has posted. New posts to her blog should show up on her page, not the front page which will be for the family entries. This is true of every page on the site. Each family member should have thier own space
3. I would like to set up a static downloads page that is also referenced in a block.

The problem I have is that the module definitions tell me what they do, but being a new drupal user, they don't give me enough detail to know when to use them. I end up downloading every module and then getting lost trying to figure out how they all work before moving forward. Is this possible using one web site and the correct modules, or do I need to create several sites, all linking to the others via primary links? I am not sure how many sites I can host on my provider, but I doubt my fees cover 6 free sites.

Hello all,

I'm working configuring my Drupal install. I gather from previous posts in the support forums that Drupal automatically generates an RSS feed for the front page here

http://www.mydrupalsite.com/node/feed

My question is, what else does Drupal automatically generate feeds for, and how do I access them?

Cheers!
