Post installation

I'm creating a payment form and am looking for a way to include the user's username as a hidden field that I can pass on when the form is submitted. I assume this would be done in php but have no idea how to make a code that both recognizes the user and places it into the form so it may pass on to the payment gateway. Thanks for any ideas or examples.

I have installed drupal from cpanel. I registered as member that made me the admin. Everything seems fine except that I can't find any admin link or menu link. All I can see are "My account" and "Logout" at the left panel. All the hyperlinks at the welcome message are showing "Page not found". e.g. http://www.nashvillebar.com/drupal/?q=admin

Is it something to do with httpd.conf? I have no idea what to change in the httpd.conf.

Can someone please help me?
Thank you in advance.

All I know here is that I am lost.

The css style works when browsing locally in Konqueror, IE, Mozilla, but when I put it on http://testing.donorge.org/ all work but Mozilla. I cannot figure this out.

I have checked the following:
The $base_url is set correctly, both locally and on the on-line version.
The path to the css file is correct.

Hi chaps!

Sorry but I am getting really confused about taxonomies.
I've got a list of cities, each one needs a general page, tourism information, accommodation pages, and a "perfect day" page.

So... what can be the best way to organize information?

doing:
city name
--tourist information
--short break ideas
--accommodation in cityname
city name2
--tourist information
--short break ideas
--accommodation in cityname2

greets!

on-campus organization is using Drupal - neat, though I'm not involved in it. a colleague of mine is in the organization and is finding he cannot get his registration confirmed. he enters name and email address but doesn't get the email confirmation, etc. I don't know if anyone else is having his problem; I did the registration and it was flawless.

How could I duplicate a node? I'd like to create another, very similar but not exact copy of the node and present both.
