Post installation

This is a horrifyingly-simple question I'm sure, and I can't wait to be able to contribute more to these superb forums, but could anyone tell me how to make some pages for member only (as , those who are signed in users)? I have seen this mentioned in the handbook, and have created new user types, but cannot find any way of restricting certain pages for certain users (and I have checked the publishing options).

Hello,

by which variable can I access the "Parent item" string of a node? I'd like to control block visibility with PHP based on the Parent Item name, so that certain blocks only appear if a node belongs to a certain parent. Does that makes sense? Are there easier ways to accomplish that?

Background: I have found out how to control block visibility using URL aliases of nodes. However, I'd rather not base block visibiliy on that since I'll completely depend on the URL alias then. Would be smart if blocks "knew" when to appear based on the node's parent string.

I have the following code which I use to add edit and delete links to node when they are displayed on a teaser page.

Hello to all,

This is a totally noobie question from a total Drupal noobie...sorry if this is such a basic question...

I've managed to set up Drupal on my shared hosting account. It has CPanel.

So I created first admin user and after that I want to install some modules....

What are the steps to install a module and which are the "essential" and trouble free modules?

Regards

On my drupal installation new authenticated user accounts are granted automatically.

I would like to require new authenticated user accounts to be approved by the administrator or some other designated person.

How can that be achieved?

Thanks.
