Limiting Number of Blog Posts Displayed

I wondered if there was a way to limit the number of blog posts that appeared on the /blog/* front pages.

It appears this can be done for all main pages, but I wondered if there was a way to set it only for blogs. Is there a setting that can be changed, or will it require a snippet of php?

Acidfree does not show thumbnails

I installed filemanager and acidfree and all looks fine. I can create new albums and upload photo's. The only thing lacking is the creation of thumbnails in my album. I get the following error message when uploading a photo:

warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /opt/guide/www.saskia-diepstraten.nl/HTML/modules/acidfree/acidfree.module on line 2160.

I suppose that has something to do with my problem.

How do I hide/show individual menu items to different roles?

The question has been asked a few times before, but no one ever seemed to get an answer about how to do it, or they would get an answer about how to show/hide an entire block. I just want to be able to show/hide a menu item. It seems like an obvious thing to do, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something about a "drupal way" to set this up.

I know that one of the most obvious ways is to check "permissions" but that doesn't work with all of my menu links, and it's not what I'm asking to do. I want to be able to restrict individual nodes so that only certain roles can see them.

access denied message in log. Pathauto not creating paths

Hi there, I enabled pathauto to alias the taxonomy menus. I am getting a slew of access denied messages. Before I go admin rambo and start opening security priveleges, I want to get a sanity check from someone that this is not some generic message and I missing something obvious.

Any assistance is appreciated.

flexinode & changing nodetype (altertype)

I'm trying to find a way to change a node's type (content-type, nodetype).

The altertype module (http://www.settingtheworldtorights.com/node/417) appears to edit the entry in database > node > type.
This seems to work fine with normal nodetypes but I have a problem converting to flexinodes:

List all nodes in a vocabulary

Currently it is possible to get node listings for vocab terms, e.g. taxonomy/term/1 or taxonomy/term/1,2

It would be very useful to be able to get a list of all nodes for all terms of a given vocab, e.g. taxonomy/vocabulary/1

There is a nasty work-around by use of taxonomy/term/1,2,3,etc but that is a hack, presents a list of terms as the title (rather than the vocab name) and is prone to error when extra terms are added to the vocabulary.
