How do I make 'Comment viewing options' like they have here: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/19678#comment

Reminds me of slashdot. would be cool to know how to incorporate this feature... I have seen it on other drupal driven sites but none come to mind right now

is there an easy way to change the number of nodes that are displayed on different pages? for example - i only want one node to be displayed on the front page, but when the user would browse through other taxonomy terms, it would show 5 or 10 nodes.

maybe there's already a module out there of some type, but i haven't found one yet. let me know if you have any ideas. thanks.

I created some custom blocks with just plain HTML in them, and now I can't find a way to edit their content. administer->block only allows "configure" or add new block. Blocks don't show up under content.

Also I can't seem to delete these blocks once they are created. Not good.

(And yes have done extensive search on drupal.org website, no relavent hits on editing content, just how to create custom blocks, which I know how to do.)

I get stuck at the patching of taxonomy.module. I've read several posts talking about difficulties but most deal with non-devs unfamiliar with patch. I'm at least familiar with it but it just doesn't apply cleanly. I'm not a programmer and I can't figure out how to make it work. I've tried it from linux and windows, doesn't seem to be a linefeed type issue but I really am not sure.

Here's the error:

Hi.
I created a module which adds a custom userpage to the user profile. In /user/*/edit I've got two tabs:
"userpage" "account...".
How do set "userpage" as default (like "type" => "MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK")?
Is there any hidden feature for *_categories()?

My function:

I have eight domains I want to feed through one drupal codebase and one database (shared data). I have two of them working right now as a test, but here's where I'm stuck:

I want site1 to have 'node' as the default front page BUT forums and comments disabled.

I want site2 to have 'forum' as the default front page.

I can't find the variable name to override the default front page for site 2 and I can't get the forums working in site2 without also allowing them in site 1.
