Post installation

Hi,

I have 4 blocks on the left side:

Navigation
Recent Comments
Recent Blog Posts
Highlights

Before log-in, I don't want users to see anything except for the log-in stuff.

In Administer --> Access everything is unchecked for anonymous users. This causes the "recent comments" block and the "recent blog posts" blog to not appear before log in.

I want the same for the "Highlights" block which is a block that I created myself. Using Administer --> menus I created hyperlinks to specific nodes of interest.

Users are reporting disappearing posts in our forums. Apparently the topic will be visible in the forum (sometimes long enough to garner several comments) and then disappear. The node is still available from the Forum blocks, but it's not linked to the forum page.

I looked around in the database and found that, while all forum nodes are listed in the forum table, the ones that have gone missing are not listed in term_node. Can anyone please shed some light on this?

So I am still learning about Drupal. I actually got it to do a few cool things but still I need it to do more and I am sure it can. I need to be able to combine to vote up down module to the aggregator pages so people can vote on news stories that are in the aggregator page.

Also I am wondering if there is a way to make stories move up and down according to their votes? I have tested the vote up down module to see if it has this feature but it seems it doesn’t.

I'm on Drupal 4.6.5 (actually I just now figured out how to patch it up to 4.6.6).
I've been trying to install the Organic Groups module, but when I got to the og_forum module it said I had to install a taxonomy.patch.

"The og_term table could be useful for other applications of tying groups to taxonomy as well.
Note: Requires Taxonomy rewrite patch (see http://drupal.org/node/16452 for background info) on 4.6 (this patch already exists in 4.7). Apply taxonomy.patch to the taxonomy module."

Scenario.

Non-admin user with a role that allows the use of PHP code, posts a story, that is published on the front page of site. The PHP is not executed, when the story is shown on the front page, however, when the read more link is clicked to view the full story, the PHP code is executed.

Any ideas?

I created a flexi-node "job posting", and would like to
have "apply" tab, so that a user can
fill & submit a webform to the node author.

How to implement this "apply" feature?

Thanks in advnace,
Enky.
