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

Image Module: questions about Menu and album summary

2 questions about image module (version 4.5)

1. The "Image Galleries" block only displays the highest level image taxonomy terms, even when you are viewing a node in a child term. Can I get it to display child terms when I click on a parent?

Can I create a user-maintained, static web site with Drupal?

I just installed Drupal 4.5.0 on a $5.00-a-month linux web hosting service and the whole setup process was remarkably smooth. Now I'm going through the Drupal docs and forums trying to figure out how to create a site with the following objectives:

- The pages are mostly static but I'd like to assign certain pages to individual content maintainers.

- I'd like the login block to be discretely tucked away at the bottom of the page (in the footer?) as it's only going to be used infrequently by the page maintainers and myself.

- When a page maintainer does log in, I'd like the view/edit tabbed-menu to also be discretely in the footer so the maintainer can see the page revisions without the menu pushing the contents down the page. (I've tinkered with a copy of the bluemarine xtemplate and it seems to insist on the tabs section being in the header -- I get an error from xtemplate if I try and put the tabs section in the footer.)

- I'd like to have a home page that is not a frontpage summary of the other pages, but is a content page like the others.

- I'd like to use html templates for most pages, but some pages may need a bit of php.

Form the docs and forums I get the impression that this can be done, but I'm not sure of the "best" approach. I welcome any advice.

Thanks for Drupal. I'm really looking forward to the possibilities.

Getting htmlarea-4.5.0 Working

This module obviously works for many websites. And, this is definitely a very nice product for the sites on which it works. However, I have seen that there's lacking documentation on the module, if not missing files. Since it works on some sites, I assume someone found a way to make it work. I have tried to install the module fresh from the htmlarea-4.5.0 version on Drupal's site. Please help me hammer out the problems people are having with installations, and I'll write documentation and contribute it back to the community.

Confirmation request: search index doesn't include content titles, right?

Just played around with the search module, and it looks to me that only page/story/blog content is indexed, right? I.e. it doesn't find words in titles. Also, searches on text content of image uploads doesn't produce results. Can you confirm this?

Thanks, Bruno.

No forums defined / theme problem

OK. I am confused. I installed Drupal 4.5, it's working smoothly but I am running into some issues I cannot explain.

1. I enabled "forums" in the list of modules, created a vocabulary, assigned this vocabulary to the "forum topic" node and created various terms as well. When I look at this vocabulary in admin, it all looks fine and the terms are lined up correctly as well. I created a node, assigned this note to a term in my forum vocabulary and that works fine.

Means to interface email to forums

I have a request from a user to integrate online forums with email so he can read and reply to posts via email because he travels a lot and would have more time to read and respond offline via email. Is there a canned module or any suggestions on how to do this in Drupal 4.5?

Thank you,

--George
