I just wrote a small module that has been accepted by the cvs applications team :)
I m wondering whether it is possible to commit it directly using git, and to skip the cvs step (as it will be obsolete in a few days…). If yes, is it documented or could you give a very short how to.
As a new user of Drupal, I made an important inference concerning Drupal 7. I was hoping to have better access control between what the visitors (anonymous) are allowed to view and what the users (authenticated) are allowed to view. I love the administrator control as who may visit the site but really:
What does the visitor see if I only allow the authenticated users to "View Published Content". "Access Denied....." What good is this core if you only have this simple content access control. Worthless!!
I successfully installed drupal on my website, however when I go in appearance to change the colors of the theme I have chosen (batik, for now), while changes are saved successfully on the back end, nothing changes on the ffront end that is visible on the web. What am I doing wrong? This is a new install, I haven't changed any settings so far except the colors on the theme.
Forgive me for posting multiple questions under one topic but they are all related to what are common practices for moderator role permissions. Ok... one particular issue I am having is that I would like to have a moderator "approve" new account requests. If I enable permissions for a moderator to administer users then the admin account is exposed to cancellation or blocking (same for IP Address blocking - Is there a way to add an exception so the admins IP is not added?) How is this commonly dealt with?
I have recently discovered Drupal and I am most impressed! However, I can see a dilemma for the beginner who is not skilled in web programming and wants to create a web site with both a customized design and advanced features; he has to make a choice between
A) Using Dreamweaver and getting the layout and design just right, but the advanced features are out of the question
B) Using Drupal and getting all the advanced functions but being forced to use themes that look nothing like what he wants
C) Spending years learning PHP, CSS, HTML etc etc
