When I try to assign a themes path to anything, view or page or whatever, viewing mysite.com/themes gives me a forbidden error. Is this a limitation with Drupal because of the themes directory or is there a way around it?

Hi, I'm writing custom module, where usernames == uids, and next uid is == AUTO_INCREMENT number in users table, could someone point me out how to get this number via sql query? thanx..

I am using Drupal 6.19 with Apache 2.2.15, Mysql 5.1.46 on a Slackware 13.1 64 bit system. I want the registration to be quick and easy so at this point the only thing that gets asked is username, password and email address. I know you can alter things using hooks in template.php in the current theme. What I want to know is is it possible after registration for the first login ONLY to display a page stating that you should fill out your user profile, and how I would go about doing this, pointing me in right direction is greatly appreciated.
I started creating my user profiles with Advanced Profile Kit following the instructions here http://drupal.org/node/517182 (only added the modules listed on this page and any module requirements) and importing the data as the instructions here http://drupal.org/node/579468 but have not set access control yet I am managing the fields so I can customize what gets asked. What I want is one set of questions get asked if a user is male and another set if the user is female but there is some questions that should be asked to both male and female. I not sure how about doing this I thought about adding the gender question to the registration but not sure that is the best way to go, would I be doing this with template.php or should I be looking into jquery?

I am having a tough time setting up mailhandler. I have triple checked everything three times. I have tried setting up a Mailhandler mailbox with gmail and a bluehost email account. However, I continually get the following warning:
warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {mail.hlobserver.com:143/pop3/novalidate-cert}INBOX in .../modules/mailhandler/mailhandler.retrieve.inc on line 19.
Ive searched the drupal site for answers and found none that worked. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is my host the problem?

Ok, I have been banging my head on this for a while, and I can't seem to get it going. No matter what I enter for META tags , it never gets to the page source. Is there a enable/disable switch I missed?
Thanks

how to set a default writing language for a specific text field in cck ?

This is the last thing I need to fix before my site is finished for the Fire Department. I installed the Aqua Marina theme, and it looks awesome with my custom icons added to it, but now filedepot is screwed up. In the left column where it lists the folders and such the icons are not aligned correctly, and are behind the text. Is there a way I can fix this? I know very very little coding, but would this be a css fix?

I guess I should start with the scenario so that you understand my issue. Lets say I have a site on food.
I have articles written about specific categories of foods and I have a datafeed of food items. I also have a taxonomy that Im using categorizing the foods. All articles and datafeed items are tagged.
This is what I want....
www.mysite.com/food/tropical-fruit
which shows this...
(TROPICAL FRUIT ARTICLE)
(tropical fruit feed item1)(tropical fruit feed item 2)(tropical fruit feed item 3)etc.

I was working through the Drupal 6 book and went into Administer->Site configuration->Error reporting and I added some text, "You must be a user to see content on this site." to the access denied message.
However, now when I try to log in as the administrator, I get an error that "that page cannot be found".
The URL suffix is: ?q=You must be a user to see content on this site.&destination=node
Yikes!
How do I fix this if I can't log in?
Time to hack a Drupal DB table?
Do I have to re-install Drupal and, gulp, start over?
There has to be a way around this, right?
