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

event module - disable start time?

Using 4.6.3 and the event module for 4.6.

I'm making pretty good progress setting up a calendar using events.

One thing I'd like to do for "all day" events such as holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, days of recognition etc. is

  • disable display of the start & stop time for certain event types
    or
  • be able to select none for start times
    or
  • some other workaround.

The best I can do now, for example, Valentines Day

has this in the calendar feb 14 square.

File based nodes

I have a group of directories, in these directories are information on a book I am working on turning into an electronic version. There are others helping with this, and many people check out these files for various reasons. There are sometimes hundreds of pages images in these folders. I want to make Drupal allow users to see these files, but also allow me (and some other users) to change the information related to the files. I also want to have a blog or discussion about each project. It looks like this currently:

  • scans
    • Christmas (uber project name folder. Not all projects have an uber project)
      • ChristmasCarol (project folder name. Some projects are in volumes or issues, so they may be 1, or more folders deeper)
        • !status.txt (this file contains information on each project which will be replaced by the Drupal system)
        • images (this contains nice clean scans of the illustrations)
        • pngs (This contains black and white scans of every page)
        • raw (this folder may or may not be there. Contains the raw full colour scans)
        • text (this contains the plain text OCR output for each page)

These files will change depending on the point the project is in the process, but this gives an idea of the complexity I am talking about

So I don't want to have to create a new node for each of these projects (one of my uber projects has about 90 projects attached to it) so my problem is 2 fold. How do I "import" this structure into Drupal? and How do I allow my users to see the associated file directory, and all its contents?

Enable/Disable Tinymce

Installed Tinymce okay. Have set it to be disabled by default. When I test it logged in as the admin, the 'Enable/Disable Rich Text' link works fine.

But when I log in with a regular 'test' user, the link is not showing up. I have a profile called 'Member' which is linked to authenticated users.

Any ideas why the Enable/Disable Rich Text link is not showing for regular users?

How do I set up the following items?

I have drupal installed and running but I can't seem to figure out how to do these things:

1. Automatic global navigation at the top of a page (like drupal.org).

2. Indexes of each category/term so that if a user clicked on the main nav departments he would see a list of departments and within each a list of teachers (like how drupal.org does the index pages for community and handbooks).

3. Subsites for each Teacher.

I am new to Drupal so please explain!

Missing Blog Date

How do I get the date to show up for a blog entry?

image issue

i'm pulling my hair out here. over two weeks and i can't figure out a way to do this...

I used flexinode to create a new content type, and everything is fine. i added a few image upload fields, and everything is fine. when i upload the images along with the news post... no thumbnails. everything is original size. i have checked with my service provider and the path i'm using for imagemagick is correct.
