Post installation

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for the help they've provided me on here, there's been a lot of quick responses and a lot that have helped me immensely in learning Drupal.

Based earlier on a person's suggestion here to install flexinode, I started looking at the contribution downloads corner. I have several I want to install:

-flexinode
-filestorage
-chatbox

Now, it says I need to create some sort of MySQL tables, etc. I do not have access via SSH, so i cannot enter the command line, but I do have access to PhpMyAdmin, would somebody be so kind as to guide me how to do this as an example for flexinode via PhpMyAdmin? Thanks

Also some other problems I had, for some reason my search for Drupal doesn't work??? I have a bunch of nodes submitted, and I tried keywords such as: domain, etc. on my homepage http://softwarefield.com, but I get no results :( would someone like to tell me why it isn't working.

Also, I'd like to ask whether it would be possible (as I've noticed on the drupal homepage), to make it so that when you hit back when searching it won't display an error. I.E. try searching for something on this site, and when you click one of the entires and hit back (to go back to the search results) it doesn't do it. I think this could be possibly due to the fact of using queries in Php that are created only during the search. There's a variable in Php

Hi,

How do I create more than one mass url alias? I have allready set admin to staff with this code:

function conf_url_rewrite($path, $mode = 'incoming') {
  if ($mode == 'incoming') { // URL coming from a client
    
	return preg_replace('!^staff!', 'admin', $path);
	
	
  }
  else { // URL going out to a client
    $aliased = preg_replace('!^admin!', 'staff', $path);
    if ($aliased != $path) { return $aliased; }
	
  }
}

But I wan't to change all 'node/view' bits to just 'view'
How would I do this?

Thanks

I know this is a common questin but I can't find an exact answer to my problem:
WHen I put the .htaccess file in the directory drupal is installed in the whole site does not work. It just throws up an error. my host sent me another file which had a name in front of the dot. This has stopped the site crashing. But I still can't use clean URLs he is running apache version 1.3.20 .
Any ideas as to how to solve this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

Just exploring Drupal. :-)

I defined a new block and I am trying to include (PHP) a HTML-file into this block. The code does work, but my included HTML-file is not displayed in the defined block. In fact the block is not displayed at all. It is included somehow at the top of the page, but not in a block. Just the HTM.

What am I doing wrong? I embedded the PHP code in the block I defined. This is the code:

$retval = include ('frequpd.htm');
print $retval;

greets!
probably something obvious: I want to show only 5 or 6 items on a newsfeed; is there a way to limit the number? right now, my International NYTimes feed is showing about 10 items, way too many.
