Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I'm a newbie to Drupal development. I'm sampling with a variety of themes and looking at adding new modules, but seem to run into roadblocks on a continuous basis with the 'Seven 7.4' theme, and in general. I've created a rough outline for the website, but have had issues with adding images to the content I've added (sub menus where text is only present, but I would like to add background images and more). It appears that the CKEditor module might add some functionality (as far as adding italics, bold, etc...) w/o having to code in HTML or plain text, but what about multiple images - I was unable to complete the installation of CKEditor, due to the following error:

The CKEditor component is not installed correctly. Please go to the CKEditor homepage to download the latest version. After that you must extract the files to sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor or sites/all/libraries/ckeditor and make sure that the file sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js or sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/ckeditor.js exist. Refer to the README.txt for more information.

While I've noticed forum input on the error, my questions in general are as follows:
I would like to restrict the downloading of a file attached to a node to a user who has permission to do so. But I don't really know how to do this. Currently, I used the hook_file_download to limit the downloading of private files to user who are logged in. Has anyone got an idea how to do this? Are there any existing modules that can do this? If not, has anyone got a lead how to program this? Extend the content_access module? Make a new taxonomy widget for file uploads?
The Multilingual select module, part of the Internationalization (i18n) package, allows you to define whether content is filtered by language on pages provided by Drupal core. This applies to cases in which multiple nodes are pulled out of the nodes table and displayed together on the page, such as on the default homepage (/node). The module allows you to configure whether or not to filter these pages by the current language.
When I upgraded Drupal from 7.2 to 7.8, I now find that the top menus on the site have vanished and won't appear. They are all still enabled, but do not appear any more. The theme is Marinelli.
Also, when using Admin, it is no longer in Overlay mode at all, I cannot get it to use Overlay, which also means that some options are inaccessible as the admin sometimes goes across the side menus, and the options there cannot be clicked on, as it selects the menu links instead.
The Synchronize translations module, part of the Internationalization (i18n) package, allows you to synchronize fields and other node elements across translations of a given node. This is available for content types where multilingual support, with translation, is enabled.
Usage
You can configure which elements are synchronized for each content type under the Synchronize translations tab (Figure 1). Synchronization of a field or node element means that when it is edited for any node in the translation set, all other nodes in the translation set will be updated as follows:
For fields: All the node fields selected for synchronization will be updated for all node translations.
For multilingual vocabularies: The terms for all node translations will be replaced by the translations of the terms on the edited node.
For untranslated vocabularies: The terms will be copied over to all the node translations.
Use Cases
Synchronization is particularly useful for cases when a field will be identical across translations, such as price, author, taxonomy terms, and images.
