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

List of all nodes belonging to a term «A», categorized by term «B», sorted by term «C», contained in one node

Confused by the title? I will try to explain :-)

I would like to do the following:

On my page there is a flexinode called «citation» containing bibliographic references.
These references are attached to different vocabularies: Author, Year, Topic, ...
I want to build some nodes containing bibliographic lists categorized by one term, filtered by another term.

Let's give an example.

The three Vocabs look like this:

Author
- Amanda Ann
- Bruno Boss
- ....

Topic
- Love (weight: 5)
- Food (weight: 0)
- Health (weight: 0)

Year
- 1999
- 2000
- 2001
- ....

I need a node containing all references
- written by Bruno Boss
- categorized by topic
- topics sorted by term weight
- references sorted descending by year.

The content of this node should look like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Author: Bruno Boss

Food

- Boss Bruno: (2001): Cooking in a Nutshell
- Boss Bruno: (2000): How to Cook 2, an advanced Guide
- Boss Bruno: (1999): How to Cook, a Guide for Beginners

Health

- Boss Bruno: (2001): Health for a Man
- Boss Bruno: (2001): Health for a Woman

Love

- Boss Bruno: (1999): Love is a good thing

-----------------------------------------------------------

By the way:

A reference node looks like this:
Title: Ann: A good Book
Citation: Ann Amanda (2001): A good Book

The field citation is a custom flexinode-field. I dont want to see the titles in the list, insted I want to see the citation-field. I think I can achive this by a) directly pulling the citation-field from Database b) showing the teaser and surpressing the title by CSS or flexinode-theme.

I understand I have to use a PHP-Snippet to achieve this, but I don't know how to code it by myself.

Drupal version is 4.6.3, database is MySQL.

Can anyone help?

Do you know alternative Methods of building such a citation database in drupal?

Thanks in advance!

I put the following as the url to my gallery
../paris_gallery/gallery2/gallery2/

Unable to initialize embedded Gallery

Is this because there some error with redirecting in that case what is the correct syntax

Multilingual menus

How do I
make the multilingual nav menu.

I want to have the nav menu compiled by myself. Sitemenu module is not working fine with me because I need to have the categories as well as the nodes in the nav menu in a mixed way.

So I have to build up the menu myself.
But the menu has to be multilingual.

The name of the menu block is not fetched by gettext, so locale translation is not the key.

I have tried to create 2 blocks for each of the languages, but I cannot set visibility for the blocks. Visibility settings like en/* are not working properly.

Flexinode question

Hey all

Just about all the information I find when I search for "flexinode" is regarding themeing - which is not what I want to do!!! I can usually sort most of my own problems and queries out, but this has absolutely got me stumped! Please help!!!

Here's what I've got:

Flexinode module + taxonomy_defaults module + a nice php snippet

Now that all works fine - when a user submits a flexinode, it automatically assigns it a category term and the php snippet dynamically displays a sorted list of all those flexinode in that particular term. It works nicely! :o) But... Of course, it sorts them by the date they were created and the flexinodes themselves are 'date related' they have a compulsory field for the date in them and this is where the problem is... What I want to do is to sort them by this date and not the 'created by' date... I thought it'd be pretty easy at first, but I just can't work out how to do it!!! If it's not possible to do it this way, could someone perhaps help me out with altering the 'created by' date automatically? Obviously that'd give the same end result!

At the moment, my users are just looking at /flexinode/table/5 which is just a plain search and does allow sorting by the nodes date field, but it doesn't look nice and I want to be able to mess around with it!

Any help is very much appreciated, thank you.

Prevent node display on page 2 of comments?

I'm running a forum. When more than 30 comments are made on a single subject, a second page is created. This is all wonderful and great, except for the fact that the original post shows up on the second page.

I understand that this is due to the nature of the node/comment hierarchy, but it bothers me to no end.

Is there a way to prevent the node from being displayed on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. page of comments?

How do I prevent the "submitted by" information from beeing displayed?

If I want to create a page with general content and not want the "submitted by" information to appear, what kind of content should I create? Page, story...?

It's sounds like a stupid question, as I can see pages like that in several Drupal sites, but I dont seem to get it.
