By "flexible" blocks, we want to find an elegant way to present customized blocks to different users/groups.
For example, when the user logged in, only the user's account block is needed and other blocks such as recent posts, recent forum topics should disappear (just like the drupal.org behavior).
I have a community blog and I recently noticed that some users are deleting their old blogs from the website, but I don't want them to do that. How can I prevent users from editing or deleting their own blogs after certain time period?
I noticed that in drupal.org website when I post a forum topic, I can edit it only for some time and then I am not able to edit them. I looked at forum.module but could not find how it is implemented. Is there any possibility that I can do the same with blog posts?
I want to have password protected files on my site that only authenticated users can see. So I set the file system download method to 'private' and put the files directory somewhere outside the public www root. This is to prevent unauthenticated users from accessing protected files by guessing their correct url.
I am sort of in a unique situation, and was hoping you can help me out.
I am using free tagging support for one of my containers, 'events'.
Using CCK I created a form to be able to add events, which users can use to do so as of right now.
My problem, is I have the users add an photo gallery as well, and assign the gallery to an event with the free tagging, so the event can be generated "on-the-fly".
