Post installation

I noticed the following in my admin logs yesterday:

MSOffice/cltreq.asp not found.
_vti_bin/owssvr.dll not found.

Are there any Microsoft vulnerabilities floating around? And any chance, however remote, of this compromising drupal installations on a shared server? Plenty of Linux servers come with Front Page extensions enabled these days.

I have three types of roles that can each create different types of content. I want to create custom admin menu blocks for each role, instead of relying on drupal's menu blocks.

This is easy enough, but how will drupal recognise the logged in user as belonging to a particular role and display the relevant admin menu? Will this happen automatically or does the process involve code? I can't really configure the block path settings because it is all /user/uid for drupal.

Am I missing something? Thanks for any pointers.

Hi,

I am just exploring Drupal. Now I removed the "user login" block through admin menu and than logged out. Now I can not see anyway of getting logged it ! What should I do ?

Hi all... God, I hate it when someone new comes to a CMS's forum and blows the thing up with stupid questions..... Unfortunately I'm that guy today. I've been reading pages of documentation on Drupal, but I just can't seem to get everything just how I want it.

For starters, I have drupal 4.6 installed on a FreeBSD box with a MySQL database. Some of these features I would like to add may be already incorporated into drupal, some may need existing mods, and some may require new mods. I am looking for feedback, both specific and general on ways I can attempt to perform them.

Question one: I set up the stories module so that any registered user can post a story, BUT I don't want that story automatically posted to the front page-- I want it listed in the moderation queue so my moderators can review it before it goes live on the site. Am I missing an option button? I've searched all over the admin panel. (In my defense this backend has a steep learning curve.)

Question two: I want these news stories, all posted by visitors, to be specifically formatted. Ideally, I would like to format the submission form to contain specific variables which will be passed into a template for the post. I want the output to look like a newspaper article, with a lead image in the upper left corner set to a specific size range. Under the story title field I would like a "location" field where people type in the city the news story came from (so it can be displayed just like a newspaper does). Obviously I'll need an upload box for the image (preferably set to only accept jpg files). GD would them resize the image into a thumbnail with a specific width. I would also like an "Image description" field in the form, so when someone clicks on the thumbnail imbedded in the story it will open a new page showing the complete image with the image's description under it. I don't know if the existing story form can be edited to do this, or if I'll have to look at having another one designed.

Hello,

Just thought I'd try a clean install of Drupal 4.7, and it's working well so far. I have a problem configuring the Control Panel module, however. The module works, to an extent, but if I try to modify its options under Settings, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_select() in /home/.jeoffry/eternalcow/culture.sethwilson.us/modules/controlpanel/controlpanel.module on line 153

I don't know any php, so I have no idea what's going on. Thanks. :)

My homepage is going to be displaying a number of different items; blog posts, stories, etc. I'd like to visually seperate each item by their type similar to what Always-On Network does (alwayson-network.com). This would be accomplished through CSS, applying styles to specific node types.

I've read a bit about FlexiMAX which, i think, is a patch to flexiNode. Not sure if this is supported in 4.7 or if any development work is being done to bring this to 4.7.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks
