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

how to display a list of pages based on taxonomy data?

Hi,

I am a new drupal user and I am using drupal to create a prototype product support site. I am comfortable with html but my scripting and php skills are limited. I've searched the forums a bit for help with this but haven't found all the answers I need.

My idea is to have support and engineering create content pages and classify them using the following vocabularies: product, info (faq, bulletin, etc.), and download (patch, tool, etc.). Then customers can select and view relevant pages by using a form that selects desired terms from the vocabularies.

So far I have done the following:

- created vocabularies.

- Stole an PHP snippet to display pages based on particular taxo_ids. This works fine.

- created a form and a php action script to select a particular term and display the term. This works, but the term is displayed as a plain html page with no theme or template. Here's the form:

NOTE: In order to get my post submitted without getting a "suspicious data" error (wow ... annoying!), in my code examples I have replaced most open and close angle brackets with *...+. Sorry if this makes the code hard to read.


*html+*body+
<h4>Term select form test</h4>
*form action="files/termformtest.php" method="post"+
*select name="product"+
*option+term 1*/option+
*option+term 2*/option+
*/select+
*input type="submit" /+
*/form+
*/body+*/html+

Here's the script:


*html>*body>
*?php
$product = $_POST['product'];
echo "Product = " . $product .".*br />";
?> 
*/body>*/html>

- modified the script by pasting in the php snippet mentioned above. With some help, this would display the pages in the db associated with the selected term. Right now I get: query_db() undefined. Here's the new script:

*html+*body+
<?php
$product = $_POST['product'];
echo "Product = " . $product .".

Modifying taxonomy_context module

Of all the taxonomy helper modules, taxonomy_context gives the best option for a navigation menu for a vocabulary, IMHO.

However, it has the habit of displaying the nodes titles added to a term within the block. This becomes quickly messy. Any pointers about which part of the code I would need to remove or comment out to prevent this from happening?

I tried removing the following code (lines 232-300 of v 1.36.2.1 2005/06/16 02:48:42), but it didn't seem to help. I have just added the opening and closing php tags here to make it display nicely on this page.

Photo Gallery

Which module do I need in order to install a photo gallery? I have installed "album", "folksonomy" and "image" modules and it still doesn't work. *sigh*

I'm using 4.6.3

Bizarre URL issue

I am working on my site and I've discovered a very interesting issue that I'm not quite sure how to resolve. I have a number of categories that are accessible from the front page, and each category page has a number of subpages that are accessible from another nav bar. I can go to the first sub page without a problem, but when I click on another link, it repeats the category.

Example:

mysite.com => mysite.com/arts => mysite.com/arts/drama => mysite.com/arts/arts/dance => mysite.com/arts/arts/arts/singing etc.

Re: setting up an integrated mailing list forum

So I've figured out what commands that the mailhandler should automatically add to an email so that the listhandler will automatically post an incoming email to a forum. But I still am working on how to transfer forum postings to a mailing list.

How does Image.module sort order?

I'm wondering how image.modules sorts the pictures (by date, by name...)?
Is it possible to sort in different manners?

Any ideas are appreciated greatly:-)
