I run a small non-profit in Vermont, Young Writers Project Inc., that is dedicated to helping kids write better. I am nearing the completion of a rebuild of the site in Drupal and want to create a forum that is visible to and useable by only a small group of students who judge all the submissions sent into the project. Obviously I don't want others using or viewing the judges' votes or comments. (I have a vBulletin forum for general student use. Since it's all set up and is working well I am going to keep that running for a while as a linked location; vBulletin seems to give me the protections I need to keep the forum safe for teenagers.)
How can I set up a Drupal forum for only the selected group of judges? I have searched and searched and can't find any place that allows me to make forum block visible only to a certain class of users. I understand that in access control I can limit who can use the forum, but I need the added ability of controling the visibility of the forum. One idea I had was to just make the menu item visible only to judges but accomplishing that has also stumped me.
Thanks in advance. I am a relative newbie who is slowly getting the hang of this software and am very appreciative to all those who've been helping me along.
I realize this is prob not the forum to ask this, but hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
I've installed Drupal 4.7 on my local Linux Fedora server. All is well, but I never set up an email server. I've installed qmail, and it appears to be running. I have ZoneEdit handling my dynamic DNS and have created an MX record of mail.reswebdev.com. Whenever I try and use mail.reswebdev.com as an SMTP server I get a complaint that I can access it - permission denied.
I'm developing a new site... based it on BlueMarine theme. I added Image galleries. I have two problems though:
1. Using Internet Explorer, I can't see the images at all!
2. Using Firefox, the images show, but the bottom text (the links like 1..2..next...last...) is overlapping the image gallery descriptions.
