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

Comment Viewing Options

I'm having a problem disabling the comment viewing options for the forums I found a post that said to set a variable called comment_controls, which doesn't seem to exist in the drupal 4.4 database. I also saw posts saying this would be possible in drupal 4.4 (which I'm using). Is there anyway to turn the controls off for everyone but the admin?

Thanks!

Taxonomy not showing up on my new Drupal installation

I've installed Drupal and it seems to be working fine except that I am not getting a taxonomy menu when I create content. I've created four vocabulary items and attached them to blogs, stories, and forums, but nothing is showing up when I create new content.

Internationalization of posts/wiki-like links

Hi
I had a struggle with how my submitted content, written with accented characters (in Hungarian), gets inserted into my mysql database. I noticed something was wrong when I first did a search and nothing was found. Then I looked at the page source, then the mysql tables themselves, and it turned out that all my words got replaced with an unintelligeble mass produced by the utf encoding, and got inserted into the mysql database this way.

book.module capabilities?

I would like to be able to use the book.module to create a structure similar to a "multiple heirarchy" with "multiple select" capability.

Basically, I'd like to be able to create a book page, and have it show up in different sections of the same book.

Does anyone know how to do this with the current book.module? I'm using the latest 4.4.0 CVS version.

TIA.

Eureka! HtmlArea problem located!

I figured this needed its own thread. The htmlArea script is crapping out because of the other JS script on the page. I removed the othe one and now everything workd. Wuzzup?

Taxonomy and breadcrumb

Hi,
i'm planning on migrating my website to drupal and i have installed drupal cvs on my local apache server to get to know how drupal works and experiment with it. at first i thought i understood the concept of taxonomy, but not any more. my problems are:

1. can i create a hierarchical vocabulary and use its first degree terms as only placeholders for their respective child terms into which i will submit stories? in this scenario, when i click on a link such as taxonomy/page/or/1 all the nodes "filed" under that particular child term get listed, but when on this page i click on the link taxonomy/view/or/3 (the "empty" parent term above the node title) the resulting page does not list the nodes belonging to the empty term's child term(s). am i supposed to associate a node with not only the immediate term that i want it to belong to but also its parent terms? or am i missing something?

2. i'm using xtempate, and when in a node page (e.g. node/view/2, which belongs to a child term under an "empty" parent term), no breadcrumbs show, only "home." am i doing something wrong?

3. with basic installation, that is, current cvs, can i make (some of) my vocabularies show up on the navigation menu? is this process supposed to be automatic if i set up my taxonomies the "right way"?

i did searches on this, but i couldn't find answers. if my questions are unclear, that shows just how much i don't get it.:)
