I wanted to include a contact us link on a website for acustomer, a Drupal site. They want the link down at the bottom of the page. Is there a way to put such a link at the bottom? The other problem is that the site doesn't support a direct link to contact anyone. I can do a link to the Administrator for example or someone in a similar role. However, a direct link to the contact form gives me a message that one doesn't have "Permission to view this link." It worked just now once then went back to telling me I don't have permission to view this page. It then asks one to login or register. The problem is that even the Administrator, with all priviledges can't access that page. Actually not allowing a visitor to access the contact form is a problem. Here's a creative solution. Create a flexinode called message and have the notify module notify the contact person. That's not the best solution as we really want an email message sent.
Have you looked at webforms module? That's an easy way to create customized contact forms, etc.
As for accessing that page you have, double-check the access controls. Also, if you have the contact module enabled, each member should have a contact tab on their profile (although members must opt in for this).
The other thing they are asking for is the ability to hide the menu. Say, have just Navigation visible and when one clicks on that the menu opens up. Can that be done? It doesn't look possible. Actually we would need the top menu item available to the visitors because that is how the visitor navigates the site. But collapsing everything else? I could create a custom menu for just showing the one navigation link that visitors will need. But the rest of the Navigation, they'd like to see that just collapse and open just when someone clicks on the link for Navigating the site.
I've not tried it yet, but I believe you can do this in 4.7 using Block Bar. http://drupal.org/node/36373
Some menu items only visible to some people? Like login available only to staff members with an account, anonymous visitors don't need to see this link on this particular site.
You can control visibility according to user role by using some php code. In 4.6 you would put it into the block itself, in 4.7 there's a separate area for php controlling visibility.
