The flange connects to the shower and just goes through the floor. It shouldn't mount to the floor.
To allow floor flange bolts to have a place to fit and to anchor the flange to the cement /wood decking
If you have a drain available. You may need to chip some concrete around the drain to install the bottom half of the drain. With that in place, set the shower over it and the top piece screws into the drain to form a seal. You can build a 2x4 frame and raise the shower up enough to run a drain to a sump or a floor drain.
The drain from the toilet to the main drain is plugged and the branch to the shower is not. If the main floor toilet flushes, it is between the two toilets and not between the house and the sewer.
The difference between a gully trap drain and a floor drain is placement. A floor drain is in a floor, a gully trap drain goes on an external wall.
No, it is not recommended to glue the toilet closet flange to the pipe. The flange should be secured to the floor using bolts or screws, and the toilet is then secured to the flange using wax rings or sealing gaskets. Gluing the flange to the pipe can make it difficult to remove or replace the toilet in the future.

The main drain is plugged. Not completely, but enough that it is easier for the upstairs water to come out in the shower and floor drain instead of going out the drain.
First determine what you are going to install as the shower unit. If there is to be no shower unit and it will just drain through the concrete floor, then it will be flush with the floor. If you are installing a unit, then you need to look at the unit to determine the distance obove the concrete to place the drain.
The shower may be leaking from: 1) A failure of the drain and associated piping itself (e.g., corrosion of the cast iron floor drain), 2) A failure of the shower pan, which is an ostensibly waterproof liner (may be metal or synthetic polymer) embedded in the tile floor (or comprising the plastic floor) which is mechanically connected to the drain; or 3) Leakage of water in the shower's surrounding area (walls, non-pan floor area, etc.) which is accumulating and dripping near the drain.

The toilet flange is usually above the floor level. You would have to cut it off the drain pipe and cap it. How you do this depends on what type of pipe the drain is made of. Even if the drain should be below the floor level, you have to seal the drain or sewer gas will come up from the drain.
The easiest solution would be to move the toilet so that it lines up with the waste pipe.
Change how? Move the location, you bust out the concrete and move it. Replace or repair the flange that the toilet hooks to. Cut the existing flange off flush with the floor and install a new repair flange. They can be brass or steel. You can use a PVC one that fits in the drain and seal it with a wax ring under it and screw it to the floor. If you are working with cast iron flange and the slots where the bolts are supposed to go is broken out, they make a repair piece for this. It is a 3/4 inch wide by 3-4 inch long crescent shape piece that slides under the flange and the bolt that holds the toilet fits into it. You may have to chip out a little concrete along the edge to get these under the flange.
The purpose of a toilet drain flange is to connect the toilet to the floor drain pipe. It provides a secure and stable base for the toilet to be installed on, ensuring a proper seal and preventing leaks. The flange also helps to align the toilet properly with the drain pipe, allowing for efficient and effective waste removal. Overall, the drain flange is essential for the proper installation and function of a toilet.
A toilet flange is a circular piece of material that connects the toilet to the floor drain. Its purpose is to create a secure and watertight seal between the toilet and the plumbing system. The flange also helps to properly align the toilet with the floor drain, ensuring that waste is efficiently and safely carried away.
The center of the shower floor where the tile shower drain would normally be positioned ... drain base. After this step the sloped mortar bed should be ... pan liner or membrane in our instructions.
tile should slope sightly down toward the drain and drain should be recessed slightly below the top of the tile
