Post installation

I want to put links to the drupal system specific pages, like forum, and other main type pages. How can I do this? If I have to do it manually, how do I know what the URLs will be? It seems it should be at least somewhat automatic for the system specific pages like the forum main page.

Errr... Well the question is in the title really - but if there is a limit, why?

I'm using notify module to announce our users about new contributions on the site. I set it to notify hourly. The problem is that users receive several times the same information. I mean, it seems that notify module doesn't know about which nodes was announced or not.

Is this correct? If not, how can I fix it?

The version of notify module is 2.49 2004/04/09.

I was having trouble with the BBCode module. Everything looked fine, but the tags weren't being parsed. I saw others with the same problem (though months ago), so I thought I'd post what happened & how I fixed it.

On a lark, I changed the site theme. Poof! Now all the tags are being interpreted.

Well, almost all, anyway. The SIZE commands (for using big fonts) aren't working under any of the themes. It's not a huge disaster if not, but does anyone know why?

OK. Setting this up was ridiculously easy. And the learning curve doesn't seem too steep.

However. I have two web-site functions I want to simply carry over. One is a link to our chat (RealChat) and the other is a link to our web-mail (Squirrel). I want them to appear alongside the other major nodes provided by drupal, like the forums and news.

Howto?

Thanks!

I'm working on setting up my first Drupal site and I have a couple of questions about the last couple of details. First, let me summarize my setup and rationale, then you can tell me all about what I did wrong. I tried all sorts schemes for navigation but I finally settled on using the Menus module (http://drupal.org/project/menus). So I set up a vocabulary called "Navigation" and added terms for my site sections. The terms are weighted so they show in the proper order and I edited all of the links in the "Menus" administration panel. Then I created vocabularies with a single term each for each of the content types I'm going to allow on the site; event, forum topic, image, page, and story. The permissions are set up such that users can only add events and forum posts. Also, I created a role for site moderators with limited administration rights who can add/edit images and stories and administer comments (the comment admin may change, we'll see, you get the idea).

I may get rid of the "Menus" module and just hardcode the links in the $custom_links array, I'm not sure yet.

The last thing I'd like to do is eliminate the taxonomy selections from the "node/add" pages and have Drupal fill in the appropriate taxonomy term. I don't want people using the "Navigation" vocabulary for content. For example, I have a menu item called "Post new forum topic" that takes the user straight to the new post form. It doesn't make sense to have content associated to this term. My site is simple enough that one term for each content type is sufficient. When a user posts a new forum topic, I'd like to automatically associate the node to the only forum term I've got in the taxonomy. Same goes for events and stories. (Images are a different animal because I think the only way to create "galleries" is by creating new terms).
