Drupal 4.7.x

I have been using drupal for almost a year and have like many others had big upand big downs with this wonderful package.

I am about to build a new drupal dedicated server an I am wondering what Linux Dist/MYSQL/PHP/APACHE versions people are using successfully or recommend. In particular for Drupal 4.6.4

Ok, i understand what primary and secondary links are... but where on earth are they? when i go to configure my theme (which is box_grey) there is no mention of it anywhere... right at the top on the left hand side of the page there is "EDIT PRIMARY LINKS" (this is there permanantly- no matter which menu i am on. logged in or logged out)... that takes me to the menu administration screen. I have tried creating a test menu item.. and then logging out... nothing appears. merely a log in form, and the "EDIT PRIMARY LINKS" at the top. hmmm... what am i missing? i feel a bit thick.

Hello,

I'm using the 'forum' module, but when I post a message it says "This Topic has been Moved" for every single message when I click back into the forum. The link destination is always http://www.covcf.org.uk/heartlands/index.php?q=forum/0 and when clicked returns the user to the forum first page.

I'm fairly new to Drupal - and am playing with 4.7 now. I think it will allow me to handle menus the way I want......

menu_primary_links() is basically it. I can put the top level of a given menu in one area - then the secondary level - of the same menu - somewhere else. (I realize that print theme('links', $primary_links); and print theme('links', $secondary_links); in the theme - plus the admin>settings>menu settings do the same thing... but read on...)

I'm writing a module to add permission codes to the user registration page. So far I've been able to inject my textfield, and reject the registration if the code is invalid, but if the code is OK I get a SQL error.

The problem is that drupal is trying to insert to a field in the user table named '0'. This brings to light two issues:

1) I can't get my textfield to have the right name. It should be called 'pcode', and I can access $edit['pcode] as well as $user['pcode'] in the validate portion of hook_user, but it shows up as edit[0] in the HTML. Here's the code I'm using:
