I understand the basics of Taxonomy, but I need help decided how best to implement what I want. I have a vocabulary term, political affiliation, on my site with many different terms under it: Democratic, Republican, Conservative leaning, Liberal leaning, etc... I'd like to further categorize them as National, International, Local, State-wide. (this is a US specific site). I'm want to make a quick reference page, like the article module - but for I need multiple pages for multiple vocab terms, that will list the nodes by category, and sub-category. Something like:

Political Affiliation Quick Reference Page
-Democratic (expanded)
+ National (colapsed)
+ State-wide (colapsed)
...
-Next Party...

My delema, how would I best go about accomplishing this? I can see that I could add a subterm to each term, ie: democratic (national, state-wide...), Republican (national, statewide...), etc. If I added the regional terms just as terms and not subterms under the vocabulary item and multi-selected, then it seems my quick reference page would be difficult to manage... which makes me wonder about the use/functionality of the heirarchy, which I haven't figured out single v. multiple. (like everyone else, I haven't found what I think is good information on Taxonomy). My next thought would be to make a separate vocab term for regionality, but... that also seems to have its difficulties. I only want regionality selected in relation to certain vocab for now, but I may also want to add it to other vocab in the future. Suggestions? Am I making any sense?

when I click "save" to add a url. I've check permissions and I have permission to add feeds. This is the first time I'm using it and I tried with a feed from my own drupal site just to make sure the feed was the right type. Any ideas?

Hi, I was needing a new role to allow someone to post news stories to the front page of my drupal-4.5.5 site. I have most content going thru the moderation queue now and want to keep it that way. If I make a user that has permissions to post to front page it also gives him permissions to access the admin/content page, cuz the only way I can find to get that "box" on create content/story page is allowing access to content. Theoretically he could delete everything on the site. Is it possible to make a role as described?

thanks.

I'm working on a site for a school, and they want one account each for staff, parents, and alumni. They decided to only have one account each because they don't want to have to manage accounts for all the staff, parents, and alumni ... these users just need to access a few pages not available to the general public and that's it.

Problem is that people keep logging in, clicking edit, and changing the account information. How can I keep these users or any users but the admin from editing their own account information?

Am I quick-reading the TinyMCE Drupal docs right? Do I need to modify the code in each and every module that uses text-input in order to use TinyMCE?

One of my problems with Mambo was that to get things to look and work to our satisfaction, we had to modify code in many, many places. That has its own problems/rewards, but upgrade would be a killer, I expect.

I'd like to keep our site as upgrade-friendly as possible if I migrate to Drupal, and I think that would mean keeping hacked modules to a minimum, wouldn't it?

Ok... I have a flash header in my theme and I am going to have a frontpage that allows you to choose whether you want flash or not on the page... it will be like this...

Frontpage-------> site.com(with flash) OR noflash.site.com(without flash)

So I figured I could do this with multisite...
But... After having read all the multisite posts I could find I still have problems...
