Hello, I'm a new user. I'm really excited about drupal, but I have some questions.

How do I change the front page so that it points to a static/PHP page?

For example, under settings, the default home page is: node
How do I change it so I can point it to : main.php (a file in the drupal root?)

Thanks soo much!

Okay firstly; how does flexinode organise its custom fields, can anyone tell me?

Starting at the beginning; I have flexinode set up so that it record the author, isbn & publisher of a book read, a body for the main text, and the title of the node is the title of the book. I have a similar set up for graphic novels, with an additional field for issue number and artists. You can see it in action here. Just click on the 'All Books' or 'Latest Graphic Novels' to see the way the flexinode tabular view organises the data.

Now, is it possible to use a php module to produce a block that does the following

find out what is the current node type (i.e. graphic novel or book)
if book, then GET 'isbn number'-id
if graphic novel, then get 'isbn number-id
PLACE isbn in preconfigured place in URLs.

E.g., I configure it for amazon and abebooks.

http://bookplace.com/codye/myassodiatecode/isbn/ISBNNUMBERGOESHERE
http://abebebebe.com/myassociatecode/blahblah/blah/isbn?=ISBNNUMBERGOESHERE

Links would be simple "Buy this book at amazon US" type links, with no names/distinguishers. So I'd have a list of links that link directly to ISBN searches, using an affiliate code.

Is that possible with flexinode, or is it stored in such a way that isn't retrievable?

Oh, and I want to turn off the 'labels' that are shown in the flexinode display, is there a way to show this, or should I just request it as a new feature for the next version?

Is it possible to show in a page the list of all node (without teaser if possible) associated to one term of a category? I think via php, but can anyone help me to write the code?
TIA, Aress

Example:

Title of the page
mytext mytext mytext
*link to first node
*link to second node
*link to third node
*...
mytext mytext mytext

Hiya guys,

Anyone else noticed that when you have the search box switched off for the Bluemarine template Search doesn't work?

Just wondering if any1 else has experienced this problem and found a workaround.

How can i make a node which just shows the content of a html file(with pictures and stuff like that), or the html file itself.
I use "taxonomy_menu" and would like to have it working like:

1 ->Static Page with "what it´s all about"
-1.1 -> Static head with "ok, you are here and can do..." + posts
2 ->Static Page with "what it´s all about"
-2.1 -> Static head with "ok, you are here and can do..." + posts
.

Hello,

I was looking though the Drupal Terminology page and saw a node type called "Site Page."

How do I create a Site Page?
Can I make the Site Page my Home Page?
Can use PHP (to make it dynamic?)

I'm really interested in customizing my home page (and possibly other pages).

I've searched the site and the forums but I couldn't find any info (specifically for Drupal 4.5).

Thanks for all your help!
I have lots of questions!
Anthony
