How to base site menu on Taxonomy?

Hi,

So far the most confusing part of Drupal for me is taxonomy and site navigation.
I am not sure if this is the way to build the site navigation but that's what I have done so far.

1) defined taxonomy - vocabulary and terms.
2) created content and classified that content.
3) created menu using menu using admin menus.
4) pointed menu's main options (branches) to taxonomy terms.
5) pointed menu's leaves to nodes.

What is the difference between a story and a page?

http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/story does not point out anything different between stories and regular pages. I though stories might have extra workflow around editing but I have not found anything. I am about to use the E-Publish module in a site where the authors need the help of an editor. If the story node type is not the solution, is there another way to direct pages to an editor?

Flexinode and theme

I have created a flexinode and then have customized the theme with node-flexinode-1.tpl.php. Each time a flexinode of this type is created it is allocated a category.

When the page is called a listing of the flexinodes associated with this type are displayed correctly, but when the user clicks on one of the items to view it in more detail, I want to have a different layout for the full details, but it is picking up the brief display I have in the node-flexinode theme.

Removing "email this page" from comments only? How to modify code?

Hi all,

I'm trying to remove the "email this page" links from the comments (I'd like to have them on nodes only). I've looked at "emailpage.module" and here is a function that adds links. I am not profecient in PHP enugh to do it myself. Could someone modify this function so it doesn't output "email this page" on every comment link?

Thanks!!!

Mel

function emailpage_link($type, $node=0, $main=0) {
$links=array();

// This var is set in the settings section under the admin/modules/emailpage section
// It shows 'email this $nodetype' or 'email this page'
$e_l_t=variable_get('emailpage_link_type', 0);
if($e_l_t) {
if($type == "comment") {
$e_l_t = "comment";
$links[] = l(t("email this ".$e_l_t), "emailpage&nid=$node->nid&cid=$node->cid", array("title" => t("Email this page to a friend"), 'class' => 'email-page' ), NULL);
return $links;
}
$e_l_t=$node->type;
} else $e_l_t="page";

if($main) { // not on an index page
if(variable_get('emailpage_show_on_main', 0)) {
$links[] = l(t("email this ".$e_l_t), "emailpage&nid=$node->nid", array("title" => t("Email this page to a friend"), 'class' => 'email-page' ), NULL);
return $links;
}
} else {
// not on a main page
$links[] = l(t("email this ".$e_l_t), "emailpage&nid=$node->nid", array("title" => t("Email this page to a friend"), 'class' => 'email-page'), NULL);

Rotating sticky content on front page

I've noticed that lots of sites have rotating feature content. MSN does this with javascript that rotates through the features automatically or lets you change the front like a slide show. Other sites change the feature on page reloads. I'd like to know if either or both of these options are available in Drupal.

Different Templates for Different Terms/Taxonomies

I found some info on how to style posts for different page types:

I've setup several different templates, but I'd like to use them for different categories instead. Anyone know how to do that?
