Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

"create content" shows up in menu for anon users!

Anonymous users get a "create content" link in the menu. When they click on it, it says, "Access Denied".

How do I get rid of the "create content" link?

Admin->Menus says that "create content" cannot be disabled. (and i would still need it for admins.)

I use the Taxomony_Access module, could that be the problem? (I checked and anon cannot create or edit under any categories.)

I'm also wondering if this is a weird menu cache problem. Is there a way to force the menu cache to be dumped (without running "delete from cache" on the db directly?)

My wee brain hurts without any *.js - and Gmap dies

I think that apache is refusing to serve up *.js files for a drupal 5.1 site I'm working on, when it's on my hosting provider. They are running

Apache version 1.3.37 (Unix)
MySQL version 4.1.21-standard
PHP version 4.4.4

On local LAMP and WAMP (apache 2, php 5) installs of 5.1, I DO get the nice jquery features like collapsable input areas, category topic auto-completion.

But on the hosting provider (and a Local MAMP w apache 2/php 5), these jquery features are disabled.

Worst of all, this 'apparently not loading *.js files' issue means that the Gmap module can't/won't work.. I have had it working in a 4.7x install.

I've really been scratching my head about this.. The hosting provider tells me Im missing files..

Then I thought it was due to the .htaccess file in the drupal root dir. I'm using an unmodified one, except that line 76 has been modified as I am currently working in a domain/~user directory.

So I uploaded some test .js files called as part of a whizzywig editor (entirely external to drupal) in a folder within the same root drupal dir. The *.js loaded fine and editor shows up. I then moved its folder from there to under the drupal /files directory, where it is now.. two layers of htaccess? Not sure.

Views Category an Tabs

some test to set up views do not work.

1.
I want to have another tab for nodes belonging to a certain category
- using an URL in the form node/$arg/product_licenses will display this tab (after emtying the cache). But the tab is displayed allways even on other nodes as well.

2.
I tryed to create some special views for my categories, folowing the steps in http://drupal.org/node/87195 but this does not work.
Category is the same as taxonomy or am I wrong?

thanks for help

Object-oriented design for site

I've been trying for a few weeks to design a site under Drupal 4.7.6 but keep running into dead ends. Perhaps you can help?

The main nodes of the site will be various types of video content: on-site Flash movies, off-site Flash movies, on-site WMVs, off-site WMVs, etc.

On the main screen I want a sortable table listing all the available media (with a pager so the table's not too long). Each table row will show the title, thumbnail, description, rating (1-5 stars), # of clicks, etc. It would be really nice if the user could sort by any of these fields (except thumbnail of course). Also, at least the thumbnail and title should be clickable (harder than it sounds!) to take you to the movie-playing screen.

Also on the main screen, in a sidebar, should be a few blocks, each showing only clickable thumbnails of media of one certain type -- though it would be nice for a description to appear when the user hovers over a particular thumbnail.

Clicking on a video's thumbnail or title (either from the sidebar blocks or from the main table) should take the user to a page that plays the associated video and lets the user rate it (1 to 5 stars) and also comment on it.

Using an E-Mail address as the username

Hey there,
I was wondering if there was a log-in module for Drupal that would allow the e-mail address (logintoboggan module is there for the E-Mail login but I'm looking for a bit more) or a single user-name to be used as the primary login and allow multiple profiles to be created for that one account.

It would be similar to the registration system used in the MMORPG Guild Wars where users use their E-Mail address to log in to the system. Once logged in, they can create 3 to 6 different profiles. In Drupal, those profiles could have access to the same resources such as buddylists, RSS feeds when it comes to viewing. When the user publishes content, it would be published in the theme of the current profile selected. The account could be one user with multiple nicknames or one log in account with limited number of multiple users. While having one account with multiple nicknames/profiles may provide harassment opportunities, a buddy list supporting the proposed log-in system, could let persons know if their buddies are using another profile (the alternate profiles may be bracketed, with the original added profile or primary usename unbracketed or vice-versa).

Limit 'Menu settings' menus availble for roles

Hi there.
I'm working on a site where the main and only navigation is based on primary links with nice menus. I like to limit the options in the menu settings - parent item list to primary links only, so my site editor will not get lost amongst all the administration menus available.
I try to do so by unsetting them of them with the form_alter function but since menu will change during site life, its not an option.
I'm looking for other, more elegant ideas.
Tnx
