Porting from Static Menu to Taxonomy Question
by Tod Thomas 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I have just spent a week or so evaluating Drupal and find it to be a very mature, very comprehensive CMS. I want to port a static html web site over to Drupal and I'd like to do it in such a way that moving forward I can take advantage of the features that Drupal provides. One of the things I have been struggling with is what to with its current static navigation menu. I started by recreating that menu (list of single hyperlinks) using the core Drupal menu module. That works but I think as the site matures and I attract more viewers, and thereby over time more content, I'd probably want to go with the menu derived from a taxonomy. I tried replicating the menu with the taxonomy_menu module. I defined each category with one of the list menu items from above, defining no terms for now. I did this because over time I expect the taxonomy to fill out and as this happens I could add the appropriate terms as necessary. When I was all done I had my menu re-created but I had no way no associate a particular node with each item. Now I'm stuck. Should I expect this to work, or is the only purpose of a category to provide a link to select that will expand and display its associated, selectable term item? Thanks - Tod

Banner Module
by Brett Elsmore 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Sorry to ask repeat question, though I have searched the mailing lists, but I have installed Drupal 4.6.5 with Banner module 4.6.0. I have followed all steps that I can in the INSTALL file. Some steps were in the UI, e.g. administer -> users -> configure -> permissions I did not have in 4.6.5. There seems to be an issue with approving the ad after it get submitted. An e-mail is sent to the administrator account that has a link that wont resolve, http://mydomain.com/banners/view/all/pending which is not valid. And, I cannot see in the administration how to "approve" it. I did not see as part of the instructions in the INSTALL file to set any url locations. Should I check out what is in cvs ? Thanks for any insight, Brett

This is the response from my private mail with screenshot - brought back on list.

Perhaps that is what you need to tweak. The four permissions I have related to Banner (4.6.x version) are: administer banners manage banners show banners upload banners Show banners you probably want for everyone on the site. I'm not clear on the distinction between administer and manage. Upload you want for people who can submit banners (in my case, that's just me). Regards, Greg
