Post installation

I'm trying to create user/role specific administrative menu and so far PHP-mode visibility settings working out great for those purposes. I eliminated all unnecessary items for basic user to be able to populate their site with the content. Beside the basic abilities to create and manage pages and blog posts which already exist I would like to add ability to manage specific menu blocks and menus defined by admin.

I want to limit the display of specific Blocks to group of pages, at exemple: to all pages which belong to a specific category. Is the only method really to indicate all single pages to display the block or are there more efficient methods?

Is it possible through one of the contrib modules to give a node creator the option of making their post private to themselves?
No role based permissions are needed, I'd just like to keep it simple for a user to decide if their node is viewable by everybody or just themselves (as a private record).

The view permissions is per node, not per node-type.

Would taxonomy_access and a vocabulary with two terms 'public' and 'private' maybe work?

I have both the forum module and the taxonomy_access module activated. I have gone into administer > access control > category permissions > anonymous user and granted View privileges for the 2 containers and 1 forum which I currently have set up; that is, Forums shows up as a vocabulary/ubercategory on that page, and I've granted view privileges for all the terms currently in that vocabulary.

Nevertheless, browsing to the Forums page as an anonymous user, I get the "No forums defined" message.

I installed Drupal 4.7.3 with the Gallery2 module. Everything seemed like it was working fine. Now I can't modify any albums and none of the other users can either. There are only 1 album and 4 photos on the site so far.

I'm not sure if it happened when I changed my admin user name in Drupal. (Same day as the problem occurred.) I changed the admin name back to the original username, but still can't see a way to create albums and add photos and to enable that for the other users also.

Any ideas?

Greetings Drupal Nation, Goodday!

In the process of setting up clean url's, then attempting to establish an url alias, our index.php file (www.example.com/drupal/index.php), represented by our theme-page.tpl.php file, seems to have disappeared. Said page which acted as our site home page and we also desire to have as our site front page.
