Drupal 7.x

Hi, I am trying to restrict user profiles by role so that role X can only view profiles of users with role X.

Any direction would be helpful?

Hello Drupal Community,

I am new to Drupal and hope a Drupal guru can assist me. What I want to do is create the ability to load the summary for pages like the front page does only on other pages. You see we want categories and when someone clicks on the category page say "Sports" we want the same layout as the front page only pages about sports will appear.
