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

Create Content menu item still displays although role does not allow

I have defined roles for our intranet site, and was hoping that the content in the navigation menu would change according to the ermissions set up for the different roles I have defined. However, this is not so - the Create Content menu item always appears, even if the role does not allow it to be used (when clicked, the user sees a message "You are not allowed to create content."). I have the same problem for other menu items - anonymous users still get the Forums menu item, even though they do not have any permissions to even see forums. I have added a book to the menu that has content only viewable by one role - all roles can see the menu item (although only the appropriate role can see the content).

I thought I had read somewhere (altough I cannot find it now), that menu items were clever enough to only show themselves if appropriate to the role?

I know I can achieve a similar thing by making blocks dedicated to roles and making those blocks only available to those roles, but I am trying to avoid this because:-

a) There are a LOT of roles (I am using LDAP_integration to define many different working groups within the University)
b) I am leaving my position soon, and want to make it as easy as possible for someone to carry on administering the site

If all my replacement had to do was add a book per role to the main menu then this would make life much simpler.

Form with enhanced features

Hi all,

I have used the form module but the feature set is quite limited. I am looking for something that would allow me to not only build forms but also allow the administrator/authenticated user to search throuh the submission ( based on user defined criteria ), prepare reports etc.... Is there any way to do this????

Uninstall of a module

Hi,
to uninstall a module:

1) I deactivate it

2) I delete its files

3) I delete its entry in the system database table

4) I delete all its tables (after checking its install file to see which table it created).

Is the module then 100% uninstalled or did I miss something somewhere ?

Cordially,
Brakkar

Events - full year and other problems

Hi,

I'm trying to set up events module first of all to have a view like "Mounth view", but not for a mouth, but a full year. I'd like have 12 small mount-views, and on the day of an event with small colored cells...

Second, could somebody explain how to have two different types of event in one (or two) calendars? I have to store a "trade-program" and a "cultural-program"....

Thanks a lot...
