Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

allow user to choose a role/roles

in 4.6 or 4.7

I've never done this before and I'm not sure if we have anything that allows this.

Is there a way to allow the user, to select a role or mulitple roles while registering?

I would like to have five predetermined types of people that Post

They would know which group they fit into

So I would like them to choose, during sign-up

Saving me an Admin Task of manually assigning roles

Thanks

Installed 4.7 Theme on 4.6 install = now stuck

I recently made the mistake of installing a 4.7 theme "leavesv1" on a 4.6 installation. Now I cannot access any admin features and I get the following error on an otherwise blank page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: base_path() in /home/casefam/public_html/beta/themes/leavesv1/page.tpl.php on line 25

Can I change back to a theme that works rather than upgrade to 4.7 for now?

Thanks in advance.

Problems accessing SQl database

I keep getting this error message when anybody goes to my drupal site. It will say that:

Access denied for user: 'fwcdrupal@%' to database 'fwcdrupal' query: LOCK TABLES cache WRITE in /home/content/F/W/C/FWCAaM/html/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

severity: error

what does this mean, is there something that I did wrong? If so please help me fix it.

Thanks,
Chris

simple form upload field

I am making a node type , and i i need to have a series of upload fields available for the users. I've looked at the upload.module code, but i am wondering, is there a simple widget that i can use to just add a form upload field to a node form? Better yet, is there a tutorial on file uploads in 4.7 anywhere that i could learn this myself?

Removing excess revisions

I've got a problem with a Drupal installation in which the home page can no longer be edited because there are over 100 saved revisions. (It's a very long page).

Manually deleting some of the revisions allows the page to be edited again, and I've temporarility turned off saving revisions, but is there a way to mass-delete large numbers of old revisions? And ideally, is there a way to only allow the most recent x revisions to be kept, and older ones be deleted automatically?

Many thanks!

adding unregistered users to receive enewsletters

I've read all the enewsletter module docs and I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but is there a way to add subscribers to an enewsletter that are not official registered users of the site? Can the admin just enter email addresses or have people submit their email addresses?

Thanks.
