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

I really need some help with my first foray into CCK / Views

Hello

I'm working on a development drupal 4.7.4 site and have been experimenting with the CCK and Views module to build an 'activity monitoring system'. The prototype system works fine so far - users can create activity reports and can also view all submitted reports with sortable columns thanks to the Views module.

Each activity report contains the following fields:

- Persons name (CCK text)
- Activity date (CCK date module)
- Activity category (CCK text)
- Additional resources (CCK text)
- Number of students involved (CCK integer)

Access Control for Authenticated Users

I'm attempting to set up a personal drupal site with 4 or 5 main pages (About, Portfolio, Links, Contact, etc) and I'd like certain users to be able to add content to each page. I'm having trouble finding an easy way to set this up.

It looks like the default 'access control' settings for the authenticated user is to create pages, edit own pages, access content, etc., but then when they create a page/story, unless "Promoted to front page" is checked in the Authoring Information setting, the page/story they create its never to be found by an unauthenticated user. Why can't an authenticated user select where they want their content to go?

The only option I've found is to grant 'administer nodes' access, and then they have to go to the administer >> content, select the node that the page points to, and edit or add to that node. This gives the authenticated user the ability to change or delete content that they didn't create, and I don't like that idea.

I just want a very user-friendly way for users to select which page they want to add content to, and then add content without having access to anything they could mess up. I'm actually really surprised that I'm having trouble figuring this out because I was able to figure out how to install Drupal, edit themes, and a bunch of other technical stuff without much trouble.

Thank you in advance to anyone who's willing to help

Incorrect links (workaround?)

I like to work locally on my drupal website until it is finished.

When I insert an image (local) on my site with imageassist, it creates a link like "http://localhost/ ..." (my base url). Everything works fine. But when I publish my site on the net, this link is offcourse not right. So I have to edit the image link in order to work correct. When having hunderts of images, this is very time consuming!

Is there a solution so I don't have to edit all the corrupt links?

Thanks!
