I'm very new with Drupal and have found many things to be quite smooth and very enjoyable. In fact, once I figure out to do something it seems to make good sense, so I commend the design and planning that have gone into Drupal's creation.
That said, I've been stumbling about for days with something that seems like it should be very simple: a password protected (Authenticated Users only) section which basically functions as a news/blog section. I've finally figured out a way to do this by classifying all of the content (of content type story) I create for this section using the tag (term?) "sectionname". I then link to a path which is an alias to /taxonomy/term/1 and it displays the content I've created. I've added in the taxonomy_access module and now the content is not displayed unless the user is logged in.
I hope this is making sense up to this point.
Now, I have the content displayed in the correct section but I cannot figure out how to display the associated uploads. I've created a new file in my custom theme (using phptemplate and based off of bluemarine I believe) called "node-story.tpl.php" which I can now use to edit the appearance of the story output, but I cannot figure out how to display any uploads that have been associated with this story. The uploads all have the "List" box checked in the admin, so I don't think that is the problem.
So, that is my question: how do I display the list of file uploads based on this configuration? Is it stored in a variable that I can access from within my node-story.tpl.php file?
