We are admittedly using a small subset of the power of Drupal. The organization I'm doing this for doesn't want to have any user login at all. We've created a ride submission form. My suggestion was for those limited number of people to go to /user and use a single authorized login for submissions (to be moderated before appearing). They wanted to eliminate the step of having to go to /user and log in. So instead I made a direct link to the form on the calendar page that anonymous users can complete but then the idea would be that they'd have to know the distributed validation password. Once I gave anonymous user access to the rides submission form fields it works as expected. EXCEPT, I cannot seem to get the new field I labeled validation to appear. I can't figure out why. I just made a text field and said the field was required and the text had to match the specific text they wanted as the validation code. I can't figure out why this field isn't displaying. Is there a better way to do this?

RESOLVED:
DUH! It was a new field so I had to go into permissions and allow it to be seen everywhere!

How did you add the field, what field type?

As for hiding the menu, visit Administer › Site building › Blocks
Click 'Configure' for the 'Navigation' block.
Under 'Role specific visibility settings' select the roles you want the block visible to (it is generally useful for people logged in). If you do not need at all you can simply disable the block.

sorry...I was just posting that I'd figured it out while you were responding. Thanks for helping.
