General discussion

Hi everybody,
I'm playing with drupal to set up an Intranet for my company, and I have some troubles to set up a correct ACL for my users.
Here's what I wish I could do :
1/ I need to allow my users to be able to see or not parts of my navigation.
So I set up my tree like this one for example :
File_repository
- common
- sales
So I need that users with the sale role can be able to see the whole tree while normals users would only see common directory.
I try to look around nodeperm_taxonomy and node_privacy_byrole but I don't manage to make it works fine with nodeperm_taxonomy.
Is there some kinds of conflicts between both modules ?

With node_privacy_byrole it works fine, but my user still can see my categories but not the content. With nodeperm_taxonomy I didn't manage to allow/prohibit users to see my content.
And worst, node_privacy_byrole works fine to allow roles to see node and nodeperm_taxonomy is at user level, I would needed it at role level and with more than one vocabulary (or should I set up my site with only two main categories public content (no restrictions) + restricted area (ACL applies here)).

Is there something to take care (any help ? with working configuration)...

2/ Other little point
When I browse my categories, I can see the following structure :
Home » Taxonomy » File_repository » common
Why do I see Taxonomy ?
And how can I display a site map with only content a user can do ?

I'm just wondering if cron.php could be dangerous...

I mean, if anyone can run the script through any browser it could be damned easy writing a script in order to make a lot of request and cause the well-known denial of service attack.

Is this stupid? Is there some point maybe I'm missing out?

Anyway this question worries me so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

To the former drupal.org site, although it was satisfactory, character transformation is carried out in Drupal talk of a multi-byte system.

I am thinking of usiing Drupal for a small corporate site but I need a particular feature and after reading the Drupal feature list I am still uncertain. I want to be abel to a) stop user registering - the admin will add/edit/delete users, and b) give nominated users access to nominated pages, ie after logging in users will have access to 'private' pages only available to them. Is this possible in Drupal? Thanks to ALL who respond.....

Hi, I've been using Mambo for a month or so. It's my first time with a CMS and I have found it to be quite buggy. Things would not work a certain way, it would break down with no way for me to fix it, modules won't work properly. Luckily this was my own personal blogging site so it doesn't matter that much. After that experience with my first CMS, I have been reluctant to use it on other sites for clients or more important sites. I am going to be testing out Drupal soon since I figure if Mozilla's team is using it, it must be pretty stable. What have been your experience with Drupal?

Hi all,

I need to notify users of updates to taxonomies but am not happy with the lock on the system while all users are individually emailed.

Is there some alternative i many look at?

thanks..
