i would like to set up different categories in my menu, and when you click on that category you can choose to view different pages. also would like to know if i can make dropdown menus in the quicksilver theme. also, is there a modle i can download to make a for sale page, so whenever i add a new item for sale it has its own section underneath the previous with its own pics etc, kind of like a forum?
thank you

Lots of Questions In One Post = Few Answers
Just a suggestion for further posts. Generally it is best to have a separate post for each separate question. You will get a lot more answers by asking one specific question per post than several unrelated ones in one post. I will try to answer one of your questions, but they all require a good understanding of some essential Drupal concepts.
Your for-sale page could be made in Views and CCK. You use CCK to create a new content type for a for-sale item. There are some great tutorials on that page for creating new content types. You can use ImageField to add a field to upload images to your content type. Once you have created a new for-sale-item content type, you can create a few for-sale-items. With that done, you can create a new view that is a page that will display all for-sale-items. Here is a good video about using views.
Sorry if I seem a little unhelpful, but really using Views and CCK is a huge topic that is very well documented in these references, and the best way to learn is to just plunge in. I remember reading up on them when I first started using Drupal, and I know how confusing it can seem. That confusion goes away over time, but you really have to put forth some effort in learning the concepts at first.
hi, ok thanks for the advice.
hi,
ok thanks for the advice. i downloaded views 2 days ago for my version of drupal 6x and when i enabled it, and clicked on save changes, the whole site freaked out and showed up with a whole bunch of errors. the only way i could get back into my site was to use ftp to delete the views module, then the site worked again. im a bit worried about it doing the same thing again if i enable it, as im very new to all this and any little thing goes wrong and im pretty much lost.
what kind of errors?
What do the errors say? What kind of hosting are you using for your site? Drupal (and especially Views) can use more resources than some hosting plans offer.
