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

Node and Subtabs

Could some provide me the information/code snippet/example of how to create the page like in the following URL
http://www.buyblue.org/node/721.
The URL has various subtabs 1)summary2)information 3)Financials 4)Ratings
and when click on "Summary" its displaying content base on the parent node in this case "Summary of Costco"
Do I need to hack Node module to achieve the functionality or need to create a new module?

What's the simplest/best way to solve my theming requirement?

Hi all,

I'm currently in the process of creating a site for a non-profit that I'm volunteering for. I've made some great progress with Drupal but I have a question that's been nagging me for a while.

Event Node Type / Separated News Items / Page Specific Access Control

Chaps & Chapesses,

I'm entirely new to Drupal and to CMS's in general, but I've managed to install it on our webserver in college, and am getting to grips with it. There are three things I've got particular problems with though, so I was hoping you could help me out.

The web address is: www.hughsrowing.com.

i) I've installed the 'event' module, and want to use it as a general calendar of events for the whole site, so that people can contribute races and training sessions etc to it. I'd really like to set up a separate 'event' node type, but have no idea how to do this - I don't want to just use 'page' or 'story' or something like that? I think this page is devoted to this problem: http://drupal.org/node/27053, but I couldn't get the module to work, as it just produced lots of colourful php code when i tried to load it up, which filled my browser window? Presumably there must be a simple way of adding a new node type!?

ii) I don't know how you can create multiple little boxes / pages on one page, like they do on the front of drupal.org. Basically I'd like the news page to be able to be added to, with the latest story in a separate box at the top etc. Is it possible to do that with the one page, or is there some kind of module I need, which links lots and lots of 'news' pages together in the one place?

iii) How on earth do you control access to who can write to pages? Sure you can give page write access to authenticated / anonymous users, but if you want anybody to be able to authenticate, and only want certain people to be able to edit certain pages / types of page, is there any way of doing that? Basically on my site, I'd like to be able to give specific people the ability to create new page / gallery / event content, but give everyone the rights to the 'wiki' page? Is this possible?

Has anyone combined the various user pages from modules into one page?

I'm a module nut. I've got so many installed I don't even know which does what anymore. As a result, I've ended up with a "My Stuff" block for users that looks like this:

My Stuff
Logged in as: Admin

    * My Account
    * My Workspace
    * My Subscriptions
    * My Private Messages
    * My Email Lists
    * Log Out

My Bookmarks:

        logs
        users

quick link | manage

It's handy but takes up a lot of screen real estate and I'm in the process of doing a custom theme where I don't want a lot of block space. So I'd like to combine all the "My" links so they can go to one page and each of those will be on its own tab.

Has anyone done anything similar? I tried searching but had no luck. I'd like to avoid re-inventing the wheel if this has been done, or even if I can get a jump start on with something similar.

Thanks,

Michelle

Block settings visibility

I created a block that has a list of links that I only want displayed on 'blog' releated pages. I adjusted the settings in the block settings such that it only shows on the pages blog/ and blog/*. The problem is that I'd like the _same_ block to be displayed on all of the blog nodes as well. I tried selecting the "restrict block to specific content" option of 'personal blog entry', but it seems that this overrides the appearance of the block on blog/ and blog/*. Any suggestions?

Ogone.com and e-commerce

Was wondering if anybody has used http://www.ogone.com for payment processing? I'm converting a non-profit-group's older site over to drupal. They've been using Ogone in the past for credit card transactions with their purchases (about a dozen items with a few purchases per week).
