I've installed drupal and are well on my way, but I was wondering about something (see screenshot or here: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/noisy1/screenun.gif). How do I place different categories where the red circle is so I can publish content directly to them? For example: I got "Forum" there, but this I have just linked to another site, but I want for example "DS" and publish daily content about DS. How do I set up this? Hope someone can help me a little - I'm sure I've missed something
I can't really see your image clearly because it's small even when I click on it. But from what I can see I'm guessing you need to add a menu item to the "Primary Links"? You can create a content type "DS" and then add that content type to the Primary Links in the Admin - Site Building - Menus area. This is what I did in http://bestcreditshop.com, the last item on the top menu "Articles" is it's own content type. You could also get a little more sophisticated and use CCK and Views and then ensure your new content type has a menu option which you then add up there. If you then give the DS content type a page option, when someone clicks on DS they can see all your DS content in chronological order (or however you want to sort it). I can show you some examples if you want Hope this helps and that I understood your question.
Thanks for answering Yes, you understood it right. But how did you create the content type and "attached" it to your primary link? I just can't get it to work correctly. Or maybe a more accurate question: How did you make the primary link and still got the website header with everything shown on it?
Go to "Blocks" and set Primary Links to show in your header bar. This option is there in most themes. If you pm me your url I'll take a look and can give you a more detailed answer. I'm just rushing out now to run errands but when I get back I'll write more on how to create the content type (if someone hasn't beat me to it)
Yeah, I see it. That's one way to do it and works great. Hey, you should install pathauto module and enable it and the path module, so you have SEO friendly urls. So instead of your link having ..../taxonomy/term/1, or something like that, it would me ..../DS/name-of-post Good job! I love Drupal!
Thanks for the tip, I'll do that tomorrow Will I have to change anything in taxonomy when I apply the module? Thanks for the help again
Not that I can think of. I haven't used taxonomy much, I tend to prefer CCK and setting up my own content types. You may need to go into the Pathauto settings under Site Configurations and change how you want the urls to appear. The other thing to make sure you do is go under Content Management and update all the aliases for the content you already have so the urls are correct. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask here and I'll help as much as I can. The Drupal website also has lots of instructions and tutorials.
I'm using a theme that utilizes Son of Suckerfish menus - http://www.roopletheme.com/, all their themes support suckerfish menus, so it's simply a matter of assigning items to that menu and selecting "Expanded" to ensure they drop down. Since I use Roople Themes on most of my drupal sites I sort of take that feature for granted, and I love it!! ( I am sure there are other Drupal themes out there with Son of Suckerfish menus such as Denver) You can see the drop down menus implemented also here and here, where I am using a completely different (Roople) theme But if you want the feature and don't want the theme, you could probably find some code to integrate into your template that would give you the same result, but I'm not sure how much modding it would take. Take a look at these links: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/indexb.html
Well, I'm still working on the website - Was about to add some content, but: Is there a way to add a scrollbar to a page or a story? Instead of just that "read more". I tried out a module for it, but it didn't work.
hmmm.... haven't quite figured out how to do add a scrollbar yet, haven't actually thought about that aspect. Been learning a lot though and playing with CCK and Views Let me know if you figure it out
