How to lock a forum container?

I don't see an option for this. I'd like to lock a specific forum container, not allowing any public comments in this section. Is this possible?

Filter a view by date?

Hi all,

is it possible to filter a view by date, for example, showing only info for the last 60 days?

Thanks in advance, Simon.

Forum Security

I would like to setup forum security in a way that there are public forums and private forums.

All users have access to the Public Forums, and only members of the "Super Role" have access to public and private forums.

Can I do this with the standard access control that comes with drupal, or do I need an add-on? And if I need a security add-on module, which one do you suggest?

Thanks

P.S. This is on drupal 4.7.2.

Gsitemap problem? Possible bug or updated google security?

Hi everybody,

Below is the response I get from google when using the gsitemap and try to verify. I got the page name from google, pasted it in gsitemap configuration and tried. File was there, but still an error...

Anybody knows how to activate google sitemaps?

drupal 4.7.2
gsitemap 4.7.0
Clean url's are on

Thanks.
Mark

We've detected that your server returns a status of 200 (found successfully) for pages that don't exist.

We've detected that your server returns a status of 200 (found successfully) for pages that don't exist. We can't verify sites with this configuration because it would enable anyone to verify ownership of your site. You can try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.

This configuration presents a security risk for site verification and therefore, we can't verify your site. If your web server is configured to return a status of 200 (found) in the header of 404 (not found) pages, and we enabled you to verify your site with this configuration, others would be able to take advantage of this and verify your site as well. To ensure that no one can take advantage of this configuration to view statistics to sites they don't own, we only verify sites that return a status of 404 in the header of 404 pages.

If your server is configured to return something other than a 404 for non-existent pages, try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.

User/role access problem

I'm working on a site for a client and I need to create online diaries. What I need is the following user access:

Each director of the company keeps an appointment diary which is viewable by all the other directors but each director can only edit their own diary entries.

There is a company secretary who needs to be able to view and edit all diaries.

Noone else has any access to the diaries.

What is the best way to set this up?

Create seperate news pages on the same site

Okay, this may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. What I'm trying to do is have seperate pages with multiple stories on them and these can be accessed via a link such as

website/news or
website/blog

all on the same site. Its only for one user so its probably pretty easy.
