help with avatars and forum nodes

ok, I've spent many an hour tearing out hair over this little problem this week and am rather confused, I'm hoping somebody here can help me! I've got my forum up and running (using flat forum) but for some wierd reason I get user avatars in comments but not in forum node posts?? I've tried turning pictures in posts on and off like a million times (they appear in all other node types), it's quite simply a little wierd!

here is my node-forum.tpl.php

<div class="forum-left">

<strong><?php print $title?></strong> (posted under: <?php print $terms?> )
<?php print $picture; ?>
<div class="author-name">
Submitted by:<?php print $name?> (<?php print $submitted?>)<br />
<?php print t('Posts:') . ' ' . $posts; ?><br />
<?php print t('Joined:') . ' ' . $joined; ?><br />

 
</div>
</div>

<div class="forum-right">
<div class="content">
<?php print $content ?> 

<div class="links"><?php print $links ?></div>
<br class="clear" /> 
</div>
</div>

<br class="clear" />

and here is my template.php


<?php
function simplex_regions() {
return array(
'left' => t('left sidebar'),
'right' => t('right sidebar'),
'content' => t('content'),
'header' => t('header'),
'footer' => t('footer')
);
}
function phptemplate_system_themes($form) {
foreach (element_children($form) as $key) {
$row = array();

CivicSpace 4.6 vs. Drupal 4.7.3???

I have been using CivicSpace 4.6 because I thought the community features would be useful, but it turns out that I don't like the civicrm setup, but I am happy with everything else. I do run into problems not being able to download certain modules because of the version. I am wondering if I should just can my civicspace page (before I get members) and upload the drupal 4.7.3 version to my server so that I can use the newer mods???

Any advice?

A sticky situation (well, a problem with stickys anyway)

I am having an issue with customizing stickys. It seems that all the information presented is processed before being sent to the theme, so I can't edit how they appear from there. Does anyone have an idea of where and how to edit them. I want the stickys to appear at the bottom of the news, and without teasers, among other simple customizations.

Any help would be appreciated.

How to craft links to 'private' files (extranet)

I'm working on a small extra-net site for a client. They have a large store of large files which need to be access controlled. These are often quite large -- ranging from 500KB to 50MB -- often far too large to successfully upload using an HTTP form, FWIW. There will be more of that size in the future, so attaching files to documents and uploading them is not a viable option.

Site Dashboard, Multiple Logins into drupal, roundcube from one login?

I want to create a site dashboard which will have a single login page which will give a summary of mail recent site posts as well as log the user into roundcube mail and drupal. I haven't started the project yet but was wondering if anyone has done something similar and would have any idea of how to start.
Thanks in advance,
Ben McRedmond.

looking for method to post private user information

I am new to Drupal. I'm extremely impressed with the software and the community. I just have one hurdle I can't seem to find an answer for.

I would like to be able to post private information for each user that only they can see. For a law office, a client would log in and they would be able to view/download files that show the state of their case(s) and also see billing summaries (amount of money owed or held in trust). This information is confidential so it would need to be secure. It would be nice if I could add a few menu items under "my account" to take users to private nodes of different types.

So far I've only seen access permissions assigned by group and user level permissions seem like they are needed in a situation like this. With tac_lite I believe I could create a group per user which seems like it would solve the problem... this work around seems confusing and it could cause problems.

I've thought about trying to expand the "my account" section of drupal but haven't found enough information to experiment yet.

I've installed filemanager but haven't finished exploring the permissions system there either.

Anyway, I think there are ways of achieving this but it doesn't seem like a common need and I can't figure out an obvious solution. I was just hoping a post might lead me to someone who has achieved a similar goal or could push me in the right direction.
