Drupal 4.7.x

I'm trying to create php snippet to be available list recent added flexinodes...the problem is i want to list latest 10 flexinodes with: picture, title and date added, by all goes wrong cant understand those node_load and $output mechanisms ((( Somebody help, please!

How do I create a single page, denominated in the sidebar Navigation as "Blog" which contains all story entries?
I'm using Drupal 4.7
I believe it has something to do with Taxonomy, but I'm not sure how to achieve this.

ok... I am close to committing my self to the nut house after spending days on this very bizarre problem... too hard to really describe well; but will give it a shot.

- Drupal 4.7

- I started hacking up the box_grey template and css to make a completely tableless CSS layout

- was pretty close .. then WHAM!!! something happened

- I have stripped almost everything out of my page.tpl.php so that all I am left with is a few DIVs holding a few IMGs.. and NOTHING else - no borders, no content - nothing.

- so, if I am not mistaken... if I go to any page (by typing in url on address because I have no content on my page to select links from) - I should see my simple page.tpl.php - RIGHT????

and sure enough at mysite/admin I get the following screenshot:

www.allanalog.com/admin.jpg

all seems cool!!

however; if I go to a NODE (mysite/node/19) ... I get the browser taking very long to draw out a completely corrupted page with all images missing:

www.allanalog.com/node.jpg

NOW.. if this wasn't odd enough... if I do a view source on the corrupted page.. it looks fine... AND... if I save this source to an html file and load that.. it looks fine...

and one more thing to add to the insanity... I think this may have all started when in installed the categories module... and I think that if I return to a database which has not had the categories.mysql addition done.. then this all works fine....

The only solution i found for this is for Drupal 4.6
http://drupal.org/node/27870

The node.module change enough for the drupal 4.7 beta, i dunno how to patch this again.

can anyone help me out on how to get drupal to stop trying to use empty strings as integer in sql queries?

Summary: Basically doing a site for a Miami club promoter.

Her job function/profession:
Put people on a guestlist for a night club... each person she puts on her guestlist she gets, for example, $20 that mentions their name on her guestlist when they enter the club.

What the site does so far:
We're using the "Events" and "SignUps" module together...
It's all good and all, except the SignUps module makes you specify your name each time (this info should be taken from the "Profiles" part of drupal 4.7 or somewhere else, so contact info doesn't need to be input each time) ... plus... the signups module doesn't let you add your friends to the event (guestlist)

One PLUS, is the email "reminder" feature of Signups module (which notifies a user who is signed up for a specific event (e.g. Sat night at Mansion)... this is a nice feature--as it notifies the person (emails) who signed up for the event to be reminded, for example, 1 day before the event, so he/she doesn't forget.... that's a cool feature

anyhow...

What she wants the site to do:
1. She wants users to be able to place themselves on her guestlist, along with their friends.
1a. registered user should NOT have to input his/her name again (but rather, info should be taken out of a custom "Profile" field, e.g., "Full Name" and "Phone"
2. Remind the user who signed up for a specific guestlist (event) a day before, via email.

I like the idea of the simplified Blogger-style "About Me" block on blogs (http://drupal.org/node/45164), but I'd like to make the block show up on all blog pages, front and node.

Currently the snippet uses if(arg(0)=='blog' & is_numeric(arg(1))) { -- is there a way to adapt this?

if($node->type='blog' doesn't seem to do it...

TIA!
