Post installation

Okay, I'm having a...weird problem with the newest Drupal 4.4 release candidate, after I install.

It installs fine, everything works, and I have figured out quite a bit, but this one problem plagues me. I go in, post a story, promote it to the frontpage, and all that, but the welcome message, the one that says it will disappear when you post content, does not disappear, nor is it replaced by the frontpage. What do I need to do to make it disappear so I can get the frontpage to show?

I have 4.3.2 up and running, and I've seen the posts about the image.module, but when I go to config | modules, there is no image module to select. I've seen the posts about needing to enable the image filter, but under config | filters, there is no image filter, either.
Can anyone point me to step-by-step instructions on how to set this up? Also, if you can point me to a site that uses the image.module, it would be good to see how it works. Thanks.

Well, I'm beginning to get there. I have my site all nice and structured with all the basic things I want (books, taxonomy, forum etc etc). I'm using 4.3.0 because a lot of the modules I want to use aren't available in 4.4 yet. Everything up and running cheerfully on my PC...

hi

I just installed drupal 4.3.2 and it works really well but I cant activate the visitors counters.

I activated counter on configuration>>modules>>statistics and give permission to access statistics to all users, but I cant see the counter anyway.

¿any suggestion??

thanks in advance

The node_import module documentation discusses the need to contain a title and name (or uid) to integrate the imported information into Drupal so that it can be displayed. However, it doesn't provide other information that is important to taking maximum advantage of the capability.

I've looked through the forums and haven't found much help from other users of this module. One post described a set of other SQL fields that appear to be potentially usable by the import module (type, title, uid, status, comment, promote, users, revisions, created, changed, teaser, body), but it's not altogether clear whether all of those fields are accessible by node_import, or what their format should be for a succesful import. Additionally, there are other important, unanswered questions I have. A little advice from someone else on this forum that has experience with node import could probably save me from really messing up my own database. Could someone shine a little sunlight on the following questions:

1. How can I enter values for taxonomy vocabularies associated with the node? For example, say I have a vocabulary of Fruit:{apples:{red,green},oranges,pears}. How is the vocabulary itself identified (does it end up with a field name of 'Fruit', for example). Then, how are values from that vocabulary identified (is the text entered, or position in the hierarchy).
2. If the date-associated entries are not imported does the module default to today?

I have added in my site a new module to borrow books. I need adding dynamically in my page the date of the day the loan is made in. How can I do? Thanks! :)
