OK, I double checked and I followed the directions in the book to the letter.

I am at the point just before you get to Spotlight:ImageCache (page 246 in my version of the book). It indicates that my photo page content should be actually showing the photo. It is not. Instead, I just the name of the file and a sixteen by sixteen icon (which by the html generated looks to be located at src="http://localhost/drupal/sites/all/modules/contrib/filefield/icons/protocons/16x16/mimetypes/image-x-generic.png"

So where did I go wrong? I'm using the version of Drupal downloaded from the oreilly site so as to keep everything as close to the book as is.

Thanks

OK, found the problem in case anyone else runs into it. In the Photo->Display Fields settings, both the Teaser and the Full Node were set to generic for some reason.

Ncarty97,

I just finished chapter 10 a few days ago. So, you and I could be called the "Using Drupal Class of 09/09"

I have now, for the first time, registered a domain name and signed-up for a hosting plan, and am now trying to figure out how to migrate my first pass at a website from my laptop to the hosting service provider. I imagine you will be doing something similar, soon.

If so, perhaps you and I could form a two-person mutual support group, since we seem to be at the same stage in drupal. Feel free to email me at brad_s_hall@yahoo.com

Brad, not a bad idea! I'm in Chapter 8 right now, but just about finished. I've actually be using drupal on a domain that I already had inside of a sub folder. I just found too many limitations trying to run it locally (plus I was making it portable using a USB drive so I wasn't tied to one machine).

Quick question for you, how is the speed on your domain? I'm using godaddy, and while the pages seems load reasonably quick in most cases when just viewing content, it seems pretty slow for actually doing anything that builds the site. Much slower than when I was running locally. I'll send you a PM with my email

Yes, I am using godaddy, too. I just chose godaddy because something somewhere said that it was by far the most popular hosting service. Also, the most maligned. I think those two things go together.

I can't yet tell you about the speed, because my website is still so retarded that I can't really get it to do what I want yet. But..soon! Will keep in touch! Thanks for the PM. If I were more saavy, I would not have put my email on the website here. However, it seems you and I are the only ones looking here right now. (funny, that). So I am probably OK.

On a related note, I have been contacted by someone in Burkina Faso who wants to give me $20 million! So, I may not need to develop my Drupal skills any further. But maybe I can hire you in the future to make my website, www.king-of-burkina-faso.gov.
