How to theme the video module's custom fields?

I have just successfully installed the revised Video Module, which allows for six custom fields to be added to an uploaded video.

I would now like to theme the new video node and make one of the custom fields an image field so that one sees a static thumbnail jpeg before watching the video clip.

The module wraps the six custom textfields in a div with a class of "videofields" and each separate line is given a class of either "odd" or "even".

I'm a little confused about how to proceed: do I want to enter the path to the image in one of the text fields (and therefore write it into the database table) and then figure out a way to alter the underlying html elments to make what was formerly a line of text now a jpeg? (I presume this would be done by playing around with the module's PHP code and writing out something like img src="path to image.."

Or do I want to go down the path of creating a page called node-video.tpl.php as outlined here? Do I need to incorporate the image module somehow? It would be nice to have a way to upload still images through a browser, but I'd be happy enough just to be able to upload manually and hardwire in the pathnames.

I'm conceptually stuck, but in seeing that the contributor to the video module has done just this on his site I'm hoping there is a relatively straightforward way to do this.

Next and previous links in nodes

I want to add links on the bottom of nodes that will allow users to jump to previous and next nodes. I would like this functionality only within promoted nodes that can be different types including image or video. How can I achieve this? Is it possible to add these nodes to a book maybe? I don't need hierachy.

Taxonomy and Search

Hey I have installed drupal on my server using fantastico. I immediatly set it up where only registered users could have access. It works nicely except I when I search nothing is found. And I also set up two vocabulary words to use the taxonomy. But I cant figure out how to to post books under the vocabularies. Also I want blocks that show the items in the vocabularies. Oh yea one last thing how do i let drupal automatically syndicate the books and forums so that I can see the latest postings using the firefox rss reader.
Thanks

How do I allow users to upload a file in their profile?

Hi,
I want users to be able to upload a CV to thier user profile.´
In the handbook (http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/profile) it says that the following types of fields can be added to the user profile:
•single-line textfield
•multi-line textfield
•checkbox
•list selection
•freeform list
•URL
•date
I would also like to have the option to upload a file to the user profile (e.g. CV). Any ideas?

Thanks,
/Seth

Simple workflow with e-mail capabilities

I downloaded the actions and workflow modules to try to accomplish the following:

-User submits content
-Content remains unpublished
-Message on screen appears that says "content awaiting approval, you will receive and email when published"
-Administrator approves message
-Email sent to user

Is this even possible? I don't want to waste too much time trying to figure out something that can't be done.

How to translate flexinode field names when using i18n-module?

I'm building a multilingual site and I'm using flexinode for several nodetypes. The content of this nodes can be translated easily, but I havn't found out, how to translate the flexinode field names.

Is this a missing feature or am I too stupid to figure out how to do it?
