So, I edit the 'Explanation or submission guidelines:' field for the 'book' type, for example, and all is well.
But, when I view as an anonymous user, and click
Content > BooksAll I get is the heading 'Books' and then nothing (there are no books presently.)
This method will not get you what you want.
I would like the description of the Book Content Type to appear, describing what 'Books' are (as I've entered the description.)
Where should I be looking for such a setting/switch/code edit?
Try allowing access in administer >> access control.
(I want to encourage anonymous users to register, but if they explore the site trying to get a feel for what they can do, they see blank pages. Not good. ;)
The permissions are not that fine-grained. If you do not allow access to view the node, then you do not allow access to view the menu. You would either have to create custom menus that point to the disabled nodes (which become enabled when they log in), or modify code to allow different access.
I'm not talking about menus. Perhaps I wasn't very clear.
I'm talking about the 'body content' description which (is to) appear beneath the 'Books' header, once someone clicks the menu item to view book content. -- Gary
