Post installation

Hi,

I have installed drupal and want to change the theme. I have loaded the theme and changed it to the default theme. The layout changes however nothing else does (i.e font, colour, logo etc). The same theme worked fine in my test installation in a subdomain.

I want to access the database using the functions provided by Drupal. But it's totally kicking my butt. I'm able to access the database using PHP and MySQL statements, but I run into problems when trying to use (db_query, db_fetch_object, etc.). I don't understand these functions and I'm unsure if I have the syntax correct for the SQL select statement.

hi. i am wondering how one would go about styling nodes with a certain taxonomy term. all i need is to insert a "class="tax_1"" into the node div, but i can figure out how to do that with Xtemplate.

perhaps it is similar to how the {sticky} tag works?

any ideas?

hi. i am wondering if it is possible to sort flexinode nodes by a certain type. i have created a field "date" for an event content type and would like to sort by date so that the events are displayed in chronological order. can i go into flexinode.module and add something somewhere to do this?

Something very confusing just happened on my drupal based blog.

For no apparent reason, the body of every single node and comment has become the single word: "process"

All of the data is still there in the database (and I've dumped it for safe keeping) but the site doesn't display that, only "process."

Anyone have any ideas?

I have just installed the images module and gotten it all working. However I ahve uploaded a test picture and I can't see it. It uploaded okay, but I just get the red 'x' that says the picture isn't there. I have pictures enabled on my browser. Is there anything else that needs to be set. I also have this problem with my phpBB install, I can't see the icons. I have been onto another phpBB install and I can see them there, so I was wondering if there is some server setting that might be missing.

Can anyone help?
