Drupal 7.x

From looking at the diagrams on http://drupal.org/node/171194 it looks like nodes are placed into blocks, and blocks are placed into regions. It's easy to move blocks into different regions at Admin->Structure->Blocks. But how can you place nodes into blocks?

I give up. I have drupal 7 and installed several themes and a couple of admin themes. I can't see where to do this. I go to appearance and load the themes. I can enable and disable, but I don't understand "default". I assumed there was a default regular theme and a default admin theme. But it appears that default is the overall default. In any case, I disable all but my Bartik them and my new admin theme. Nothing changes. What am I doing wrong? Where do I tell drupal what theme I want to be active for the web page and for admin?

Ι have installed Drupal 7.4 with modules CKEditor and IMCE and more....
When i edit a content or create a new content and i press a button (like: insert an image or paste from word) i have no response from drupal , screen is dim and does not open any dialog box.
No dialog box does not open through the CKEditor.

I am a bit of a newbie and I still can't quite get the hang of Drupal. I've installed it but the whole interface feels so strange. I can't just modify a template, make a design/layout, create pages, and get going. I would like to modify one of the default templates a little bit, move things around, add/change a header image, but I can't find information on that kind of stuff. The theming guides that I have read on this website so far haven't made clear how things are supposed to be done! :S Clueless.

Hi,

I am looking for a method of access control for my D7 site.. I need a way to restrict access to specific pages or blogs to certain roles.. I have tried searching a tried a couple of the modules I have found but nothing that seemed to do what I was after in a reliable and uncomplicated way.. Many modules have no stable release for D7..

Does anyone have and advise or suggestions for securing pages to specific roles?

Thanks..

I am confused by the interaction of the calendar and views. I installed it and had it working, but the default was putting the entries under "date created" instead of the actual event date. I tried to add that to the fields and to the sort criterion, but I just don't get it. In a demo I saw, there is a "date_startdate" and "date_enddate" in the fields. I don't see those fields. but I do see date (field_date) and date (date:value1)

In the "fields" section, I don't see anything that resembles the above fields, I only have "date (date)"

Now whenever I try to create a calendar entry, it takes it, but the event date is blank and I get this error:

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in date_combo_validate() (line 329 of C:\wamp\www\drupal2\sites\all\modules\date\date_elements.inc).
Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in date_combo_validate() (line 330 of C:\wamp\www\drupal2\sites\all\modules\date\date_elements.inc).
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in form_error() (line 1593 of C:\wamp\www\drupal2\includes\form.inc).

When I go to the structure -> calendar (content) I get a list of 7 or 8 repeated errors at the top and at the bottom that say "no valid values found". I believe this has to do with the preview function.
