Simple Access Module Issues

I have Drupal 4.7.1 and the latest Simple Access module.

I enabled it, and it seemed to work, except that if I selected "promote to front page" and logged out, Anonymous users could still see content, even though they are not part of the access group that can "view" the content.

Speed up your TinyMCE installation tremenduously

This is just a very quite post - if you'd like to read it in length, you can hop over to my weblog to check out the full story.

If you are using TinyMCE, you might find that this is slowing down your ENTIRE site, depending on your settings for TinyMCE. In my particular example, this slowed down the site so much that I really got worried.

I already installed the TinyMCE compressor, which was a nice improvement, but it did not "bang" until i came across a very interesting setting in the compressor: enabling to hold the entire compressed TinyMCE in the local web browser's cache for a certain periode of time!

What happens is: the first time TinyMCE is needed, it loads over to your machine. AND it is planted right into the cache from where it will load every time again without the need to reload from your server. Enter a page with a TinyMCE enabled text area and instead of it seeing build up in front of you: puff there it is. Great experience.

Just go to the installed tiny_mce_gzip.php file and simply change this line:
$diskCache = false; // If you enable this option gzip files will be cached on disk.
to this:
$diskCache = true; // If you enable this option gzip files will be cached on disk.
and have fun! Certainly the experience will only live as long as the expiration of that cache item is not reached or until you empty your browser cache, but it is absolutely worth doing so.

How to have a block with the full text of one RSS item?

I'm looking for a snippet or something I could put in a block on my site. I would like to have a block display one quotation from the quotationspage.com feed at http://www.quotationspage.com/data/qotd.rss

That feed generates four feed items every day, with the authors as the title and the quotation as the feed item summary. So on the aggregator page for the source you get something like:

Views module to present tables of links from weblink

I'm trying to views module to present a table of weblinks from the Links Package (cvs). I realised that I cannot find the field for the body of weblink nodes. when creating a new weblink, you key in 3 things - the title, the url, and the body which is like a description of the url. It is this description that I cannot find the field for. I open up my mysql DB and couldnt find it anywhere either. Anyone has any idea where it is?

How to change the date formats

Where can the date formats (long, medium, short) be changed? E.g where can I remove the hour:minutes from the short format? - I know how to do it - but not where. (what line in what file)?

How to show latest image assigned to a gallery only ?

Any image uploaded even those for forum or story submission shows up as the latest image - how to restrict latest image to those images which has been added to gallery ( or various galleries ) for the sole purpose as photo pix etc .

Even if an image is uploaded via image assist and it is ultimately not used in a story etc the image shows up as the latest image :(

Thus I will like 'latest image' from those which has been uploaded a gallery only.

Any help will be gratefully acknowledged.
