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

Front_page module

Hello All,

I can seem to get the front_page module to work at all. I enable it in admin>>modules then I got to admin>>setting>>frontpage and no matter what I choose (themed,redirect,etc) I get nothing for logged in users or anonymous.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

WHY! HOW! Why is it not EASY to make base_url include "www." in domain?????

Could someone please help?

As a web developer, I expect there to be occasional issues to deal with when installing a new system like Drupal. However, this problem has me so me so angry at how much time it has wasted my time needlessly that I could spit. Please forgive me for being so upset, because I have had so much of my time wasted in this ridiculously unnecessary problem that still HAS to be solved.

All I want to do is have the base_url be a domain with the WWW. I want all links to include the "www." in the link. We do remember that, right? That's the four characters that goes between a "http://" and thew domain name. It's called "www." But in my very initial installation of Drupal with fantastic seems to have designed such a waste of time that even when I think I can easily mod it, the system purposely becomes unworkable afterward. It's just seems so NEEDLESS to be this way.

I tried editing in /includes/conf.inc

$base_url = "http://THEDOMAINHERE.com";

to instead be

$base_url = "http://www.THEDOMAINHERE.com";

But what happens? The site sends error headers messages.

So, edit it back and try editing /includes/common.inc to

function drupal_get_html_head() {

  global $base_url;
  $base_url = "http://www.THEDOMAINHERE.com";

(I add the last line so it has the actual domain with www.)

That works. But whenI try to change to different default themes (not even trying download stuff yet), the system refuses to let me change from the default Drupal.

One Global category applied to all other content types with their own category structure

It will have a global category to represent location

Then there will be several categories of services listing such as restaurants, pubs, etc.

In addition there will be contents such as blogs, news, forums, etc.
All these can have their own category. They will also be categorized by one location.

absurd feed requests

I've got an interesting situation. On my site I have many feeds. Well, one individual has taken it upon himself/herself to request one of these feeds between 10-13 times a minute, every minute. It's absurd. I'm using the troll.module and they're IP is banned and they can access nothing, but their requests to the server for the feeds are making a mess of my logs, particularly with troll.module log entries showing every attempt in the log and my 'who's online' is looking great, but all the extra hits are bogus.

define main page

hi

by default, drupal automatically creates the main page of a site, based in some configuration settings. It displays the digests of the most recent articles...

HOW can someone override this, and control exactly what is displayed in the main page?

Add 'My Blog' back to Menu

Somehow I have removed the 'My Blog' menu item in 4.6.3. I reset the menu but it didn't come back.

I can add a new menu item but does anyone know what I should set the 'Path:' to so it is custom for each user?

Thanks for any help.
