Due to constraints of my hosting company, I have installed an older version drupal 4.5.2 for my site. as this is my first experience with drupal and i went on to explore the various settings as the administrator of the site. I suddenly discovered that the menu item "access control" underneath the administer menu item is missing. I have installed comments, forums, archives, polls as extras (if you'd like to call them that).
All searches return forum topics that show how to do some work inside administer>>access control. but in my case i don't have that link only.
When I link my visitors to mydomain/user/login it redirects you to mydomain/user/user# which is not always desirable. Is there a way to avoid that? Thanks!
I'm trying to find a good explanation of primary and secondary links. What is their purpose? How do they differ from menus? Could someone suggest a site for me to look at, that uses these links, so I can get an idea of how to use them on my own site?
(If you do suggest a site, be sure to let me know which links on the site are which.)
After some initial progress, I have run into problems with the following requirement: "Organizations will be able to log in and edit their own, and only their own, details, including: address etc, their Contacts, plus full details of each of their Functions (e.g. their specialisations as Trainers)."
(See link above for context.) I tried to implement this using CiviCRM Profiles, with a Drupal User login for each Organization, but ran into problems and was informed on the CiviCRM mailing list that Users currently only map to CiviCRM Individuals, not Organizations. OK, I thought, I'll have Users mapping to Individuals, where the Individuals are set up as contacts for the relevant Organization. But I'm told the CiviCRM permissions system can't meet my access control requirements, i.e. allowing users to update only their own Organization's details. (Here's the thread on the CiviCRM mailing list: http://lists.caltha.pl/pipermail/crm-dev/2006-June/005041.html).
I have now been advised to forget CiviCRM Profiles and look at CiviNode. The project page says "The project is currently experimental". However I need this functionality for a live site to be completed in the next few weeks. Can anyone advise on whether there's enough stable functionality in CiviNode to make it usable for my requirements?
