I think I must have misunderstood something in the documentation, so I'd appreciate an explanation of what I'm doing wrong. I have created some static pages in my new drupal 4.4.1 website, and, having included a Link Name and a Link Description, I expected that it would appear in the Navigation menu. But it doesn't. How do I get a static page (e.g. an 'About us' page) to appear in the main menus of a Drupal site?

Thanks.

For themes that don't use it however you can add it back in quite easily. You need the link_page() function.

In chameleon for example you can add it into function chameleon_page():

$output .= "<body". theme_onload_attribute() .">\n";
$output .= " <div id=\"header\">\n";
$output .= " <div id=\"toplinks\">" . implode(" | ", link_page()) . " </div>\n";
$output .= "  <h1 class=\"title\">". l(variable_get("site_name", "drupal"), ""). "</h1>\n";
$output .= " </div>\n";

This will give you a top navigation bar containing module and custom links as defined in conf.php

Okay, thanks for that, very helpful. Where might I find info like that upfront? For example, does a list of some sort exist with available templates and their relevant info/what must be added to each to enable all functions listed as drupal's capabilities?

Question #2: The administrator's handbook - where is located in its entirety? There seem to be bits and pieces from the front page link. For example, as I'm setting this up now, I'm trying to find out basic info regarding whether or not to enable syndication before doing so and then having to perhaps go back and change things again. The trial and error approach is getting a little old at this point! Been through a bunch of CMS pkgs. as potential for The One; thought I had a handle on Drupal, but now, I'm wondering. :) Plz don't say that I have to do a search through all the forums and trouble-shooting and what-not just to find out how nodes, modules, pages, stories, etc are best set up; if my administrator's page displaying will show differently than users, etc. that kind of thing. Can someone pt me in the right direction?
