Post installation

Hello all....

I hope someone can help me with some questions regarding "local" authentication.....

lets asume i just finished a clean install of drupal and i decide i want to authenticate users via radius/ldap/othe DB/ etc etc etc.

if i have a working authentication method. how does drupal handle user creation??

for instance, in the example of a clean install..... i just finished the clean install and immediately configure the authentication method to something else.

Hello guys,

I´m trying to have my site associate new users to a certain role, depending on their own choice at the registration form. For example, using profile module, create the "student" and "client" type of user (an optionbutton) but make that user decision trigger if it will have the student role (and all it´s permissions) or the client role.

Do u have any idea?

For testing purposes, I am running Firefox, IE, and Opera 9; each logged in with a different user so I can play with access control. I am using the web server_auth module and it is working fine on both IE and Firefox (IE routes directly to the site, Firefox asks for credentials), but Opera asks for credentials each time a different link on the site is clicked. Any one else experience this with Opera?? Is this an Opera bug, or is it a security 'feature' that I can't seem to find in Opera's config settings??
Thanks

So I happened upon the website for Nucleus CMS (nucleuscms.org) and stumbled onto a feature that I am now looking for in Drupal.

Drafts and Future Posts

In a hurry? Need some more thinking? Mark an item as draft and continue working on it later. Or would you like an item to only appear starting from a certain date? Mark it as a future item.

I'm mainly looking for the Future Posts functionality. Anything (other that overkill systems like ePublish and eJournal) that are able to do this?

Thanks!

I've been pretty bad about keeping my sites backed up and figured I really should get on the ball. Plus, I'd like to have a local copy for playing / testing. I could pull down my whole site with FTP and then go in and copy down the database, but that's so time consuming. I'm wondering if there's some simple way of doing it that I'm missing. Maybe even automated. I did a bit of searching and found some but they either weren't free or were complicated. I can't afford to buy anything and I'm just not up for complicated right now as I have a zillion things I'm already trying to learn.
