Post installation

In an attempt to implement some kind of role based visibility of menu items in Drupal 4.6, I have modified menu.module. The "edit menu item" form now shows a list of access roles with checkboxes, which enables me to select the roles I want a menu item to be visible for. The challenge now is to implement a filter in the right place of the Drupal core. I assume I must modify menu.inc but I am not sure which function to modify.

Can anybody give me a bit of advice?

Is it possible, by design, to have pathauto work only for specific node types?

I'd like to use PathAuto to generate aliases for just the 'page' node type, in order to make site admin easier for the non-technical.

Is this possible now and I just don't see it, or is there a change that I will need to make?

On a similar note, I'd like to PathAuto the taxonomy paths as well. Is it possible to generate paths for taxonomies and not for nodes?

Any advice / help is appreciated.

Using: Drupal 4.6.5 on PHP 5.1.2

I am trying to use the "fancy" theme. I'm trying to create a subdirectory called images to upload the images. The owner of "fancy-customized" directory is "nobody." I cannot make a new directory because I don't have permission. (Have tried both cpanel and ssh. My host is opensourcehost.) How can I make this directory?

Does everyone not have this problem? Is the default owner of new themes created by theme-editor "nobody" on other people's servers?

Hello there, everyone.

I am trying to create an online community self-help support group web site.

I absolutely love the functionality of organic groups -- it is really fantastic. I am using it with organic group forums as well -- which gives a nice level of group privacy for forum postings. However, I would also like to have a public forum area -- where people from different support groups (or people who have not yet joined to a particular support group) can communicate and write to each other, publicly.

I have been thinking about two separate options for doing this, and was wondering what people thought about these options:

METHOD 1:
Use og_forums for private forums.
Use uieforum for public forums.

(Advantage: I get forums for both private and public / with the nice aggregation functionality of og. I get some cool functionality with uieforums)
(Disadv: uieforum is beta code and will probably take a while to get up to 4.7 specifications, and the code will also now be less "centralized")

METHOD 2:
Use og_forums for private forums AND
Create an og group called "The Whole Community", which everyone is automatically made a member of. (Og_forums for this "group" would then be the de facto "public" forums.)

(Advantage: I don't have to worry as much about 4.7 upgrade. Code is more "centralized.)
(Disadvantage: I don't know how to make everyone automatically a member of the group "the whole community" -- but I could try and figure that one out.)

Is there an easy way to do this? I found the book page for converting Xtemplate to PHPTemplate, but how would I do this with a pure php/css theme like chameleon? I need to be able to theme flexinode parts (namely, remove the labels from the content) and it looks like the best way to do this is through PHPTemplate. Any ideas?

(I posted this before in the theming forum, but got no response. Anyone know if this is easily done? If not, let me know).

Thanks

Many on this forum have noticed that people tend to miss the "read more" link, and not even realize that the story continues. I've been reading all the posts regarding moving the "Read more" link, etc. None of the solutions seem perfect, and usually involve a per-theme solution.

Is it possible to insert a line of text at the bottom of the teaser block like "Click link below for full story" or something similar? This would solve the problem of users not realizing the story was cut off. Then it wouldn't matter where the "read more" link is - they would know to look for it.
