Post installation

I want to remove a few things but I don't know where to find them.

* Remove "___'s blog" after each post.
* Remove "submitted by [user] on [date]"

Also, I'm confused how to put categories on the menu
...

Thanks

Hi,

I have the following dilema:

- A story/page has been created, with a few attachments.
- One of said attachments is referenced in the story as '<a href="system/files?file=foo.bah">'
- Said attachment is also referenced elsewhere on our site.
- We have attachments configured as private (ie. the 'files' directory is outside the server root and attachments have to be referenced through 'system/files?file=...'
- I'd like to replace the attachment with a new revision (keeping the old one if possible for rollback/moderation) and keeping the URL reference intact.

Few questions spring to mind:

1. How does one replace foo.bah without changing the links or file order? Adding a new one, removing the old changes the name to foo_0.bah and moves it to the bottom of the attachment list.

2. I tried filemanager and alternate attachment modules that seemed to have no effect. Installed and enabled them. Tried disabling standard 'upload' module without joy. How are these supposed to work? Can you even use them after inserting initial content?

3. I also tried creating an alias with 'foo.bah->system/files?file=foo.bah', thinking that later this could be changed to 'foo.bah->system/files?file=foo_0.bah'. That doesn't work. Looking for foo.bah gives you a page not found error, the system log says 'system/files?file=foo.bah not found' even though that location does give something when entered directly.

Tried to install the Directory module from
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/directory/
but there doesn't seem to be any "INSTALL.txt" even though the "readme.txt" says "see the INSTALL.txt file in this directory."
Any trying to install Directory by just pasting it into the modules folder simply results in an error

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: node_get_types() in /home/therainy/public_html/modules/directory.module on line 52"

Is there a way to hide the "Forums" droplist when adding a new forum topic?

I want to create a link from the current forum for "Add new topic" in the style ...

url/?q=node/add/forum/forumid

...and keep the entry form as simple as possible.

Dear All,

Please could you tell me three things:

http://www.hughsrowing.com

a) why the colour of the top bar is not the same as the bottom, when I've specificied both the header and the footer to #000040 in the style.css file!? I want to make a logo with a background this colour, but when you display it in the top left, it isn't the same as the colour of the topbar!?

I have a php/mysql based chat application I would like to post to a node. However, it seems that it interferes with the php/mysql script that drupal is based off of.
I would really like to completely insulate the two code bases.
So, for example emacs/lisp has a function "save-excursion" which esentialy gives you a sandbox to make any mistake you want. At the end of the excursion all vars and state in the interpretor are reset.
Anyone have a way to do this or any suggestion?
