Is there a on/off settings for " « first‹ previous 1 2 etc." like there is for signature and time/date?

If work on the core is needed do I look into the story module, the Garland theme or elsewhere?

Im using Drupal 5 with the pre-installed Garland theme.

try tweaking the css, look for pager in the css and set display as none

CSS is one way, however if you want to decrease the load on the server (a tiny bit) and the users machine, you can just go into the story module and either comment out the code that places the pager at the bottom or you can delete it entirely. That way your server doesn't process useless code. ;-)

You will probably look for theme functions... perhaps theme_story_navigation or something to that effect. I could tell you precisely if I were on my own machine as I have done that before on a few of my own projects.

I hope this helps.

Note that the CSS way WOULD be easier! And the gains would be somewhat minimal using my method - however a bit cleaner...

Thank you both, good to have two approaches with different degrees of sophistication/speed of implementation to choose from.

Just remember that because you have hacked a core module then when it comes time to update you will have to make the same changes to the story.module if this is the route you have chosen to use. When doing it in the css file, you can update and or upgrade, without having to rehack the story.module.

Very true. It is best to keep a log of any and all changes that you make to any modules... Not just core (however those are the most important to keep track of)

I'm wondering how far I could get using only Drupals default modules plus basic html and changes to css pages. It seems that would be the most massle free road to take in the long run.

The css pages that each and any screenfull of a Drupal powered website calls; are they static or generated by the php core in any cases? That is to say, can I find the css files, change them and expect to stay the same at all times?

What is the best method of keeping a log file (files?) for a website. Is there any documentation out there, or school of thoughts even? Tools to do so?

Hello, you may want to make a folder called (mods) that you keep with your other site folders. Within mods you can then make a text file where you keep track of line numbers where you have made changes, what the original code was, and also what you replaced it with.

I think that there is also some sort of patch program that can tell you the differences between two files. I think the program is called diff or patch. My brother uses it fairly often.

And you could get fairly far without changing the modules... Indeed, if you can get away without hacking them up then do so as it will perhaps be easier for you when you upgrade to newer versions of modules and so on.
