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

Ignore theming certain pages

Hi all,

I am developing a personal website and am having this issue with a gallery2 integration.

If you visit this website
http://www.chiragmehta.co.uk/gallery?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=19

and click on any image. I have set it so the image opens in a new window.

I would like this popup page not to be themed.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Many thanks in advance

newbie q: regarding categories, forum crumbs, comment edits and others

Hi, I have been looking at the handbooks and forums and been unable to find solutions to the the following issues below. There are probably quite obvious but I am very new to Drupal and NOT a programmer and although have found a lot of help in the handbooks and forums, it has been quite difficult to find the leads... quite possibly because I'm not asking the right questions.

1. CATEGORIES
I have set up the following categories as such

continent
- subcontinent1
- - country1
- - country2
- - country3
- subcontinent2
- - country4
- - country5
- subcontinent3
- - country6

How do I set up "continent", as a button in the menu at the top, so that the page will open displaying the subsections along with other content?

2. COMMENT EDITs
The Drupal handbook says that

An administrator can give comment permissions to user groups, and users can (optionally) edit their last comment, assuming no others have been posted since.

I have turned Read/Write on for comments.
This is what I get: user1 posts a comment. Then user2 posts the next comment. User1 logs in again and finds the EDIT option is still available!

How do I get it to function like how it should according to the handbook?

3. FORUM CRUMBS
a) When I go to forums, the crumb only shows Home

b) But when I click on a term, the crumb shows, correctly,

Running a news section

Hi all,

What is the best way to run a news section on my site using drupal, to go with the story or blog content. The problem I think with the blog option is that only a particular user will be able to access their own particular blog.

Please could I get your suggestions.

Thanks

When adding a user: "Illegal mix of collations" sql error accessing table profile_fields

When using CivicSpace 0.8.2 (Drupal 4.6.3), when I manually added a user, I got the error:

user error: Illegal mix of collations 
(latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE)  
for operation '='
query: SELECT * FROM profile_fields 
WHERE LOWER(category) = LOWER('account') 
ORDER BY weight 
in /<homedir>/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

But the account did get created successfully. Is anybody else seeing this?

email... and a lack of it...

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way for me to disable usage of email from drupal... I don't have an email server available to me... full stop... don't suggest to me the use of a third party server... I don't have access to one, end of story >_>

Is there a way to change drupal such that a user creates a password during registration and they are not emailed? If not then I recommend it as a feature for a future release... not everyone has access to mail servers...

any help welcomed :D
