Access control modules do not work . . .
by Jason Flatt 16 May '07

16 May '07

I've got an intranet site up and running that was started w/Drupal 4.7.something. I installed, at that time, the node privacy byrole module [1] to control who can access what. Eventually, I got around to updating the site to Drupal 5. Before I started that process, I disabled all contributed modules, including node privacy byrole. I was pretty sure I followed all the steps necessary to disable that module, but I must have missed something, because now no access control module I've tried will work. What I've done so far is to install and uninstall Taxonomy Access Control Lite [2] (several times), Taxonomy Access Control [3] (a few times), Path Access [4] and one or two others to no avail. I've followed the advice of the Persistent 'Welcome to Drupal' for anonymous users [5] Troubleshooting FAQ node, and I've clicked the Rebuild permissions button (more than once) on admin/content/node-settings. I'm assuming something's not right with my installation, but nothing I've found so far has provided a solution. I'd really like to install and use the tac_lite module, because I think it suites my needs just fine, and it's not nearly as complicated or difficult to use as some of the others. At this point, however, the priority is to be able to control who can access what. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try to fix this problem?

I recommend Firefox's Firebug extension. You can just click on inspect and click on anything and it will tell you all the CSS and where it is.

CSS editing software

I have been looking at a free trial of CSSedit ( http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/) and am wondering if anyone has recommendations - should I buy this (it's not expensive), or are there better tools? -- Jean Gazis www.jeangazis.com www.boxofrain.us "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it." - André Gide

A little clarification about accounts and user roles, please
by Krister Ekstrom 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hi there, I read some articles about users and roles on the drupal.org site and got a little confused. Note that i consider myself a newbie to everything Drupal so please pardon this newbiish question. In the article it says not to use the first user id to do "day to day stuff" on the site, i assume that means blog posting and so on, but i can't use the same email for 2 users, which i assume is in order. Still i want to have it clarified what the first user id should be used for and why one should have another one set up. Does it have to do with security or that kind of stuff? How do other drupal gurus out there have their accounts/roles/etc set up? Thanks for any help. /Krister, somewhat confused

OG node type access restrictions
by Larry Garfield 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hi all. I'm staring at a tricky node permission question I'd like some help on. Using Drupal 5.x. I have a series of Organic Groups, with a node type of "Board". Each Board is owned by uid 1, and has one or more other managers. I also have a number of other node types (for now let's say News and Page) defined. News, Page, and Board are both CCK-defined nodes, so they're owned by node.module. What I want is to have OG manageres able to create Page nodes only in their own OG, not in any others. I also want to have anyone who is a subscriber of a given OG to be able to create a News node in that OG, or better yet be able to create a News node without even being a subscriber of that OG (optional bonus). The roles system doesn't know from OG, so if I put managers into a "Manager" role then they'd be able to create Page nodes in any OG. I considered hook_access(), but that works only for nodes I've defined within that module. I glanced at hook_node_grants, but since I'm using OG already I'm quite worried to avoid getting into that mess if I can avoid it (since they both interact with the node_access table. Does anyone have a better suggestion for how to make that work? I'm perfectly happy with a code-based solution so if "write this bunch of code" is the answer, I'm cool with that, but of course the less code I write the fewer bugs I can write, too. :-) -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry(a)garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson

Hello, First, I solved for the formatting parameters, I used full html input option. Second, I would like to know how may I to move the position of the main links of Using a minelli template (home,..etc.) from the current position, high/right and one side by another horrizontally, to the left side of the screen and in vertical position and one below to the other one. They are primary links. I even tried to change the position of primary links using the block settings.I set the position of primary links in the left sidebar but after that I saw the duplicate of these links: in the original position and inthe position where I would to fix it. At the end, would you mind to explain me in general how may I to move the blocks? Thanks in advance for all. Best regards, Sauro

I don't know if bringing the law into it will do any good or not, but what about fighting software with software? I'm not really familiar with this sort of content grabbing but maybe someone who knows more about it has an idea of how we can make the mailing lists less palatable? Is there something that could be done in the configuration that would screw up their system without making it impossible to use for legitimate users?
