Upgrading Drupal

I've just come back to Drupal after being away from it for a few years and have a basic question. I want to control what some users have access to when they create content. It seems that the module "Edit Authoring Information" might do this (at least partially) but this does not seem to be available in Version 6. In fact I also want to disable things like Comment Settings, Input Format etc to make entering Content as simple as possible for selected users.

Can anyone prod me in the right direction to look to do this?

TIA.

I just upgraded Drupal to 5.10 and I am getting this error on user profile pages:

user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 query: SELECT uid,name,picture FROM users WHERE status != 0 and uid != 0 and picture <> '' ORDER BY in /Volumes/MyQCA-Data/Webfolder/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.

Please help.

I'm a little confused about the upgrade to the latest working version of the Image module. It gives you an Admin panel warning about 2 things:

Hi,

I recently upgraded my Drupal install from 5.3 to 5.10 and the code in the template file doesn't seem to be working. Previously, It over rode the display of the user name and displayed a profile field instead.

Below is the template.php file in the theme I am using:

/**
 * ABOUT
 *
 *  The template.php file is one of the most useful files when creating or modifying Drupal themes.
 *  You can add new regions for block content, modify or override Drupal's theme functions, 
 *  intercept or make additional variables available to your theme, and create custom PHP logic.
 *  For more information, please visit the Theme Developer's Guide on Drupal.org:

/**
* MODIFYING OR CREATING REGIONS
*
* Regions are areas in your theme where you can place blocks.
* The default regions used in themes  are "left sidebar", "right sidebar", "header", and "footer",  although you can create
* as many regions as you want.  Once declared, they are made available to the page.tpl.php file as a variable.  
* For instance, we use <?php print $header 

for the placement of the "header" region in page.tpl.php.
*
* By going to the administer > site building > blocks page you can choose which regions various blocks should be placed.

Hi,

Third party mediation kindly requested!

My developer has refused to work on 6.4 siting that it is too buggy and we should stay with 6.3. I quote;

I had a PHP error while update.php from 5.x to 5.10 on line 114.

It worked when I removed an = from line 114. "elseif ($attributes['default'] === FALSE) {"
