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.

As the administrator, I want me and only me, to be able to create blocks and pages with no code restrictions on what I put in. How do I do this?

hi,
when i want to edit a posted writing the body, title field arent displayed. i posted a new story and there was not any problem. now only the teaser is seen that is an excerpt function. i am using spreadfirefox theme. 4.73. problem appeared suddenly. the only change that i suspect is making a role "full" and choosing giving access to all features in the admin>access. however this must not create such a problem. now user id1 can not edit posts. any help appreciated. TIA

Hi,
is contemplate the best way to control cck teasers and presentation ? Or can it be achieved in another way ?

Cordially,
Brakkar
