Hello,

I want to build a simple website where i will post content like: software reviews, articles, scripting samples and some tutorials.

My problem is that I am not able to figure out a way to make a few categories, have buttons in the primary links list for them and easily publish content for these categories.
When i add content i want to write the text, upload the images (if needed), choose the category and press publish.

Also i would like to find a module that allows me to easily edit/format the content i am going to publish.
You know... i want to bold the text by selecting it and pushing the "B" button and not write html code.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thank you kindly!

Hi!

I'd suggest that you want the taxonomy module for setting up the categories, the Views module to show all nodes with a particular category (or 'taxonomy term' in Drupalese), Image and img_assist modules to upload the images and TinyMCE as a WYSIWYG editor that has Word-like buttons for formatting content.

I use these tools, and would be happy to help further if you need it...

Pete.

Like pbarnett wrote, the TinyMCE module is the way to go for WYSIWYG...it can be a pain in the ass to install just to let you know, as you need two download two components. The module, and the javascript library/engine.

What you end up with is a module directory /tinyMCE, and the javascript engine directory (also named tinyMCE) inside of it.

It's in all in the instructions, but just a heads up, in case you run into problems with that. Also you should also know that like all wysiwigs, it's extremely literal, when you copy and paste. So what you can end up with is a lot of font tags that you didn't expect...

Hope that helps.

I didn't have too much time so i managed only to install TinyMCE. I have the module and the engine installed properly and they seem to work.
I would like to install the optimization module that uses gzip archiving but i didn't understand how it should be installed.

About taxonomy... i managed only to read some documentation about it and i must say i am a little bit confused.
I am used to the idea that first you create the categories of content and when you publish it you just select the category to which it belongs to.

I will read more about it this evening and i'll try to install it. I hope i will get how things work. :)

Until then... thank you for your kind support.

I managed to install the taxonomy_assoc module and i have some problems.

Everytime i access taxonomy associations from the settings menu i receive the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tablesort_pager() in ...\httpdocs\modules\taxonomy_assoc.module on line 199

I installed the module according to the instructions:

- i copied the files to the modules directory
- i executed taxonomy_assoc.mysql and then i tried to configure the module.

Do you know what is causing this error?
