I installed Side Content Block module - everything seems to be fine: putting in content specific to two pages, etc. - I can only see the SIDE CONTENT when I'm logged in as admin. When I log out...it disappears.

I went to administer > blocks - I clicked on 'configure' next to Side Content and this is what I have selected:

1. Custom visibility settings:
this is checked --> Users cannot control whether or not they see this block

2. Show block on specific pages:
this is checked -- >Show on only the listed pages.

Hello, anyone know of any sites that use drupal and an extensive user based image gallery ( not menalto gallery or coppermine) that I can check out. By extensive I mean quantity in terms of users and uploaded images, comments, image blocks, thumbnails, etc. thanks

I am using (or trying to use) Toboggan for my logins but I want a custom login / logout form. The login part is working fine however I cannot get the logout part to function properly. Being that I am new to all things Drupal could someone tell me where I am going wrong or where to find some documentation on Toboggan and Drupal for custom coding?

I currently have:

As some of you will be aware, Google has recently been rolling out their most major "Structure" change yet, nicknamed "Big Daddy".

This changes the way sites are crawled and indexed - no longer simply crawled by GoogleBot & Freshbot etc (too indepth to go into here).

Something appears to have gone majorly wrong in the indexing, and a LOT of sites (even major news portals and authority sites) are seeing 90%+ of their pages DROPPED from the google index, not simply losing rankings...

Hello I am a joomla user I am not unhappy, but i would like to know if drupal is a better fit for my needs:

I need to easily create templates (this is very easy to do in joomla, i have read that in drupal it is harder, does drupal use any templating system like Smarty or patTemplate?) If not can you direct me to an example tutorial for creatign a template.

I also need some good community tools: I need forum (would like to have SMF integration do not know if this exists in drupal?) what forums exist, integrated wiki, and software repository/rating and issue tracker... also would be nice to use the CVS system that you guys have here to look inside of modules... how does one do that? I would like something like this:
http://haysoft.com/main/component/option,com_facileforms/Itemid,51/ff_na...

but with the adition of a module/bloc for submiting issues and links to CVS source.

I would like a similar system to the one that is being used here for users
this kind of structure:
* create content
o book page
o forum topic
o project
o issue
* my account
* issues
* my projects
* recent posts
* news aggregator
* log out

Is really what i am looking for

Also are there any wysiwyg editors for the forums?

im really strugelling to fathom how i add content to my menu structure. i can add new content but its always listed under the content menu under administration. i though it would be a case of linking to a menu when creating a new page or contect etc. many thanks for any help leo.
