Post installation

When I create an event, it displays an unnecessary (for me:-)) bit of information about the even't time zone. Is there any way I can avoid displaying this?

It seems to be hard coded into the module.

How do I use java script in drupal pages? I want to do a simple roll over for an image in a posting. Generally, the script piece needs to go in the head, but I don't think I have access to that as a user. Does this mean editing templates is necessary?

I keep on getting errors that say PNG can't resize or something like that. Also, I am not able to add new skins into the library or add a theme engine. The files are there, but Drupal doesn't detect them. What is wrong?

I would like to be able to make a site where users can review/discuss products, very similar in operation to phonescoop.com. I will add the products and their descriptions (later, I'd prefer this to be a wiki) and then the users can post discussions in the forum that is attached to the product. The tricky part comes in that I would like products organized by type as well as manufacturer (maybe more later). This is to facilitate easier discussion on many different products, I would like for the user to be able to view these "forums" as the aggregation of all products of a certain type, or by a certain manufacturer.

For example, a site for discussion of home electronics might have types like TVs, Speakers, DVD Players and it would have manufacturers like Sony, Hitachi and Samsung. As you're viewing the product description for a specific Hitachi TV, you only get discussions concerning that particular unit. But if you'd like to see what is making waves in the DVD Player world, you need only look at that forum, not a seperate forum for each product. The DVD Player forum would be an aggregate of all the forums attached to DVD Players, allowing you to see every discussion made on all DVD Players. There also needs to be some way to post directly to a forum and not a specific product. Ideally this would also work the same way for Manufacturers as it did for product Types.

I am recovering from a complete crash and have put back backup copies of the site and the db. But the backup seems not to contain the .htaccess. I am using version 4.6 in directory /dr. I found the following htaccess code on this forum and changed RewriteBase to "RewriteBase /dr" Now only my homepage shows up and page-not-found elshwere.

could someone please tell me what else I need to change? I've been reading htaccess posts all afternoon with no resolution. I read about a .conf file but can't find it anywhere on remote.

This is what my htaccess looks like right now:

#
# Apache/PHP/Drupal settings:
#
# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.

Order deny,allow
Deny from all

# Set some options.
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
# Customized error messages.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php
# Override PHP settings. More exist in sites/default/settings.php, but
# the following cannot be changed at runtime. The first IfModule is
# for Apache 1.3, the second for Apache 2.




# Reduce the time dynamically generated pages are cache-able.

ExpiresByType text/html A1

# Various rewrite rules.

I made vocabulary for stories, added some nested terms and now i like to add they into block as html list.

I searched for that problem and even found some php snippets but they have some limitations.. for example :
