Hi All, My name is Tony and I have just started down the Drupal path. I am finding it is quite a learning curve especially if there is no one here to help me out. Thank God for this mailing list. I have already gotten some good info in the week I have been listening in. I have 2 quick and hopefully easy to answer questions.... actually three: 1. I see 2 almost identical admin menus across the top when I am logged in as admin. Can I turn one of them off? 2. In views for D7 there are a few things on top of each other in the views configuration form. Why? 3. Trying to create a new view based on the Image Gallery template and it says (in incorrect English) "Shows all images which was uploaded on the "field_image" field". Can someone explain what that means? Do I have to define or create an field_image field? How to upload?
Thanks for any help or directions to good documentation/tutorials etc. Tony

Did you install the admin_menu module? If so you need to turn off the core "toolbar" module.
Perfect. Thanks!

Welcome to Drupal!
You have to be careful what modules you install and what themes you use for Drupal. With thousands of modules, not all of them have obviously been cross-tested. In my opinion, you don't need admin menu with D7, but there are some changes, which are nice, but if you don't need them, don't use them. My rule of thumb is usually to add all modules I KNOW I need, and then as a need arises, I add the module to my list. That way, if something doesn't jive, I can more easily figure out the culprit.
Themes are another issue. Themes are highly technical and can add a lot of visual changes to a site, both to the outward appearance and the administration area. Try changing to Garland and see if that fixes your problem with Views overlapping. Or, if you have been doing CSS changes, revert back to the original CSS. Also note, Views 3 is in beta still. If you feel like there's a bug or fix that needs to be made, feel free to post it on their issue queue. http://drupal.org/project/issues/views?categories=bug (Make sure you search for that bug first. No one likes multiple postings for the same issue).
Finally, I haven't used the image gallery, but from the sounds of it, you need to add an image field to your content type. Adding the image field allows users to upload pictures to your site. Then the View can create a gallery for you.
Hope that helps!
Joel

Hello.
Nancy, as always, your comments help a lot. Thanks.
For me, Drupal 7 was the first contact with Drupal, so I can not compare them. I feel that some users from Drupal 6 with the appropriate modules could be happier than the actual Drupal 7.
For all of you that came from previous versions. Do you think you can share tips on what modules to install that are not in the core of 7 and that you have used with succes in version 6?. Like the one mentioned by Nancy.
As an example, in my training I have not found how to make work the HTML filer so if I copy text from one of my web pages, with text color, fonts etc, that it looks the same. I guess, I read that in Drupal 6 there are module editors for doing that.
Thanks in advance.

Get the wysiwyg module [0] and follow the procedure to install any of the javascript editors [1]. Those will be able to handle most of the formatted text you'll throw at them.
I reccomend ckeditor [2].

CKEditor is good but I have still not figured out to add youtube and video with pasting into the source.

This page looks like it's going in the right direction, though the most of the modules mentioned are in dev status right now.

Google suggests these, but i haven't tried any of them:
http://www.fluidbyte.net/index.php?view=embed-youtube-vimeo-etc-into-ckedito... http://sourceforge.net/projects/youtubepluginfo/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/ckeditoryoutube/ http://code.google.com/p/lajox/ http://puszki.net/ckeditor-youtube-plugin/
There's even a video tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdDpJbbRZmQ
To solve the problem i remember using the embedded media field drupal module and the youtube plugin.

I don't think it sucks as much as I was disappointed that it is on by default. I also am disappointed by the fact that the blocks disappear when doing administrative work. I want to see the effects of the administrative work especially when that work involves ... blocks including the menu blocks.
The admin_menu toolbar is a bit more practical for developing but I still think that the Toolbar module is much more user friendly for content editors.
I do like the shortcut integration, though - I hope that admin_menu will support that in a future update.

The shortcut integration is a different module named appropriately and operates separately from the Toolbar module. It too comes enabled by default, I would rather have discovered it than having it thrown in my face. But at least I was able to go turn it off until I'm ready to use it.
When I turn toolbar off the shortcuts disappear. I would like to use admin menu with the shortcuts. Is this possible?
I really like the shortcuts. In the past I had to make shortcuts for my users anyway.

I see it as a + in a circle graphic beside the page title. When you mouse over the + it brings a text that says "Add to Default shortcut". The "Default" will change based on your user settings.

But where are they displayed?? I can add them but not see them, well that is until I enable the shortcut block.
My issue is that when I disable "toolbar" in modules the shortcuts bar disappears as well. Am I the only one this happens to. *

The Toolbar module enhances the appearance of the shortcuts but that doesn't make the shortcuts module dependent on the toolbar module. You just have to use the shortcuts differently.
