My main section "ABOUT" contains: -My BIO -My Discography -- As a Leader -- As a Supporting Musician -My show schedule -Video Clips -Audio Clips -The list of musicians who plays for my shows (present/past)
I did this by creating custom content types to each of them. After many days of trial and error, they all shows up as desired using Views. However, as I moved onto other section, such as my jazz theory section, where I used Book, I realized if I should had done all the "ABOUT" section in Book. The main reasons are: - Book provides "previous" and "next" node hyperlink at the bottom - Book provides summarized front page For example, I couldn't figure out how to create a View just to list the titles of all the subsections, like Book provides.
If I want to convert all the "ABOUT" subsections to a Book, can it be done? I couldn't find it how. Searching at Drupal site but to no avail so far.

If you have the book module enabled, you should be able to integrate the pages into a book by simply going to the "Outline" tab of each node and placing it somewhere into the hierarchy.

Ouch! I totally missed it. This list is a life saver. I can't begin to imagine without it.
But I did read Handbook: http://drupal.org/node/120639 And there is no mention of Outline for Book content type :-(
I've heard again about Views. What are Views? Is that one specific contributed module? When would one use that? Thanks, Bruce

Views: http://drupal.org/project/views
Awesome module. It lets you custom-build a list of nodes according to a wide range of configurable parameters.
CCK: http://drupal.org/project/cck
Drupal 5+ includes the ability to create new "basic" node types through the admin. A basic node type has a title and a body (body is disableable.) CCK lets you add additional fields to any given node type. Those fields are provided by separate, dedicated modules. The CCK package includes several (textfield, number, nodereference, etc.), and there's a huge number of others available in contrib.
The usually best way to map out the site is to first decide what your node types look like, conceptually. Then figure out the fields they need. Then set those up using CCK. Then determine what lists of nodes you'll want, and build those using Views. At least that's the usual method I use. :-)

Views can create a list of nodes by almost any criteria. So you can create a list of all nodes, a list of nodes of type "poem", a list of nodes of type "poem" or type "page", a list of nodes of type "poem" that have the taxonomy term "haiku" associated with them, whatever.
Really, install Views and spend an hour or so just playing with it. It's one of the most powerful modules available to you once you understand how to leverage it.

Yes, or pretty much anything you can think of. Lists of Poems that are not published. List of poems that are of category X. Block containing new poems that a user (or you) haven't read.
You define sort order, filter criteria, who you want to be able to see the list, etc. Which fields to include, which fields to sort on etc.

Hello all, I want to change the fields that display when one selects Add Content>> Story or any Content type or node. How does one do that? I went into site/admin/content/types/page and site/admin/content/types/page/fields and added a few fields. Now I can't get those fields to show up. I tried creating a group but that group isn't showing up either as an available group. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I thought pages were not supposed to have a teaser and Read More link. I want a page for the front page and I don't want a Read More link on the page. How do I do that? thanks, Bruce

What, exactly, did you do? What were you expecting and what did you get? It worked fine for me when I do it.

Page types are not much different than story types, unless you configure them to be. You can change whether a node has a teaser or not and how long the teaser is at admin/content/node-settings. However, that affects all types, not just page. You can override that setting on a node by node basis by placing a "<!--break-->" (w/o the quotes) where you want the teaser to stop, at the end of the post for no teaser.
Hi, I think someone was asking a similar question about site planning. I need ways to post a profile of the staff and various contact information. I definitely want it to be easy to find a user (staff member) and to get an email to them. Note, this is a poetry magazine. I could just create a Page about each user and add it to the menu, under About Us. So, I'd have About Us/Contact Us and under that About Bruce, Administrator/Co-editor, and there have a page with a bio and an email link at the top. Then I could do the same for each Staff member. Would that be the best way to do things? I was looking at User Modules and see there is quite a bit of choices. I could just setup profiles with defined fields... some of which could be a bio field, links to their poems on the site. The problem is that the list will go on and on as the number of users grows, and there is no way to set-off the staff, as it were, of the site, Adminstrators, Editors, etc. I want to set-off the Staff, if you'll accept that term of mine, those users that run the magazine/site, with their profile/bio and contact information. Any suggestions, Thanks, Bruce
