Mohsen, You're joking with this question, right? Just add content and promote it to the front page. Kobus >>> mohsen(a)pahlevanzadeh.org 1/19/2006 11:54 AM >>> Dear all, I need to add news to my site. How i do it? Yours,Mohsen -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

Sorry if this question has been asked alot, and maybe I'm just beating a dead horse here, but I've been looking for this problem for a bit now and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm not too familiar with all the drupal jargon, but I do know how to setup the taxonomy stuff with the vocabularies and terms and nodes and whatnot. Firstly, I'm using the drupal package that is in the Debian repository which currently is only 4.5.3. If I have to I could install a newer version. I am wondering, on the main drupal site (http://drupal.org) the top right area, the primary links, go to directories with the same name. So the support link goes to http://drupal.org/support and downloads goes to http://drupal.org/project and so forth... How is this set up? Does each sub directory have a different instance of Drupal running? Is this some module that they are using? Is this a feature of a newer version of Drupal? I want to set up a site similar to the way this is set up, so an "about" link would go to mysite.com/about instead of say mysite.com/?q=taxonomy/term/9 or even mysite.com/?q=about if I set up a url alias, but still have the said link (about) in the same drupal site for administration purposes. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with the default install, if it is even possible. Also, how can I get the taxonomy vocabularies to create/display as primary links dynamically. If I make a new Vocab (category?) and then it'll show up there? Right now I have to manually create them in the themes area. Lastly, is there a module so that if you clicked one of the primary links or even just go to one of the taxonomy's vocabulary to give a list of all the terms inside. For example, my "about" vocab has resume, contact, links for nodes (terms?) underneath. How can I get it so that when a user goes to the About section, there is a secondary list of links for "resume", "contact" and "links" but if they go to another section like Guides there are other secondary links for guides but not for About. I have a feeling that Drupal does not work in this way but I wanted to confirm this. TIA! Andrew

> Don't be sorry for the question, even if the response seemed kind of grumpy. I have to apologize for the preceived tone of my question. It was more incredulous than bad attitude, as it was obvious that the person who asked the question never even tried to do the first (and most basic) thing after creating the initial account. I really don't mind helping people if they at least tried something first. Kobus

Re: [support] Odd Login on my system.

Hi, As you already know, the drupal module allows for distributed authentication. You can read more about that here: http://www.yourdrupalsite.com/admin/help/system What happened in your case is that the person registered on your site, but then used the Drupal login to log in to your site. I have a few of those cases on my joke site. What I usually do if I don't want to allow distributed authentication is that I edit the welcome messages to NOT include that part of the message that they can log in with that information. If a user doesn't know about distributed authentication and you have disabled it, he can't log in that way. Regards, Kobus >>> avskip(a)gmail.com 1/18/2006 10:36:04 PM >>> I'm not sure of the terminology used for this, but I had a login similar to this on my system. someone(a)www.mydomain.com I understand that it's used to do a shared login from another site where 'someone' is registered and that's ok. But the person had *my* domain after the @ sign, not another domain! The name before the @ sign wasn't anywhere in my user list. Any idea what went on here? The logs aren't very helpful. I'm using Drupal 4.6.5 and have disabled the Drupal module for now. I think that's what controls this being available or not. -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

Re: [support] alignment

Mohsen, Open the file called "styles.css" which is in your theme's directory and set the alignment there. I can't tell you from the top of my head how you'd do this, because I don't know what theme you use, and I don't know what text you'd want to align right. Kobus >>> mohsen(a)pahlevanzadeh.org 1/19/2006 10:39 AM >>> Dear all, I need to set align to right.Typicaly menu,elemnts of forum & everything. My site is Persian language. Please tell me what do i change that i can set alignment to Right. Please guide me..... -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

RE: [support] Setting include_path without access to php.ini

Don't know if this will work, but you could try adding this line to your settings.php file: ini_set('include_path',ini_get('include_path').':yourownincludedir'); Worth a shot.
