Drupal 4.7.x

OK, I'm a newbie. I have been trying to figure this whole thing out and am at a very puzzled juncture.

I want to do something really simple, but cannot figure it out. Thought a simple application would be a great place to start with Drupal!

My web hosting provider installs Drupal, so that went OK :)

I will have 3 'types' of pages:
1. Static text
2. Job postings
3. Resumes

And, two types of users: job posters and resume posters. I will give them user names and passwords after they purchase a spot on the site - in other words - they cannot create user accounts themselves. I think I have all that configured OK. I have configured only page and story modules....

I can set up the template, the users, and do all sorts of fun stuff, but I cannot figure out:

1. How to make a static page that does NOT show 'submitted by' and how many reads the page has had. I just want it to look like a 'normal' html page.

2. CANNOT FIGURE OUT MY LINKS!
. How do determine the nodes' url (clean or otherwise)
. How to assign one page type to the postings, one to resumes (did that with categories - see below).

Believe it or not, I have spent hours on this, and got the book about making online communties, searched through many forum entries, etc.

Could someone point me (PUSH me) in the right direction? http://www.underspace.com/drupal

I'd like to find a mod that will automatically make the URL of a new story similar to it's title, for example:

If your new story is titled: Cat stuck in tree, more news at 11!

I'd like to see the URL to this news story as: www.domain.com/date/cat_stuck_in_tree_more_news_at_11

Sure I could do it manaully via the "URL path settings" in each story, but auto is best and having the 'date' will stop overlap. I'm pretty sure I saw a module for this before, but can't seem to find it.

I have three drupal sites running on one drupal installation. I want to take all of the users & nodes and consolidate them into one site. Any thoughts about how this can be done? I don't want to loose any postings.

Thanks

Drupal has comments, which let users comment on a node.
Drupal has several voting modules, which let users vote on a node.
Does Drupal have a module which lets users BOTH vote AND comment? This kind of functionality is widespread, e.g. at amazon.com or cnet.com.

Ideally the module would use votingapi and support segregating voting results by different node types.

If it doesn't exist I guess I'll build it.

I have over a hundred recipes that I would like to import to my Drupal site but I have no clue where to start.

Any advice would be nice. I would like to pay anyone for advice or any coding.

Thanks

Q

It would be very useful if the custom fields options in the user profile module could include an image upload field (Simular to the one in Flexinode)

Using this multiple images could be added to a users profile. This would be very useful for community applications dating and art websites e,t,c.

Unfourtunately I have no idea how to go about porgramming this, anyone got any ideas?
