Post installation

After much resistance and angst, I’m finally setting up my first node-flexinode-n.tpl.php file, but I am having problems with displaying the “add file” field type. When I disable the tpl file, the system displays the “add file” content as it very well should, so that users may click and download. However, when I enable the tpl file, the “add file” content is replaced with the unclickable text “object”. Please see screen grab here.

This is my node-flexinode-n.tpl.php file

I have a site running on Drupal 4.7. Things are going well! I convert to clean URL's, and it works well! I install Pathauto, and it creates paths for me everywhere. Great. Then I re-pathauto'ed the site and I get a lot of strange url alias's. I dumped the url-alias table, and re-pathauto'ed again. Now I have a good looking list of url alias's and life is good, except, I cannot create new forum topics. Everything else on the site functions correctly, I can add stories and blogs, and edit them, but I cannot add topics to forums.

When I try to add a topic, 'node/add/forum/32', I can preview the new node, but when I submit, I get a white screen, ie no screen output from the site.

I looked in the drupal log for help on what is happening, and there are NO event loggings from the submit. I looked in the log reports from my hosting company, and I don't see any problem there either. No errors undates since the 26th, and I have been trying this for the last few days.

Pathauto or Clean URL's might be the problem, but might not be the problem. I tried to debug this and disabled Clean URL's and the problem did not go away. Ditto for PathAuto.

I need a scrap of something to go on and try to find the problem. Searching for 'cannot add new topics does not work, because that is on EVERY forum page as part of the instructions.

Thanks for any help on this one.

From everything I read, I thought I was doing this right, but obviously something is wrong.

I have several custom profile fields. One is called 'profile_first_name' which is in a category called 'Personal information'. I want to display a greeting on the front page, and so I am using:

global $user;
print 'Greetings, ' . $user->profile_first_name;

All the above prints is 'Greetings, '

I did a print_r($user) and my custom fields do not show. What step am I missing?

Is there a way to deny access to a section / category on a site if the user is not logged in or does not have permission to view that page.

I really want to have a "codes" and "blog" section on my site, that will have multiple nodes in them, but i want it for personal use. I dont want visiters to be able to view those two (or more later) sections, but i still want them to be able to view all the other sections on the site.

Anyone know of a way to do this? Would it be code that i need to put into my theme or is there a module that can do this?

Thanks

I am getting the new drupal website page as my home page for all users other than administrator . At the same time the site is locking users out of looking at a lot of content, declaring access has been denied. This seems to have coincided with my hosting company moving the site . Any thoughts as to how to get rid of the new drupal website page would be really appreciated.

Somthing strange has happened in my forums... some posts have a "next topic" link UNDER them... that's the initial post of a topic, where the signiature would be... only one forum catogory is not affected...
