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

Link theme to user or content

I'm migrating from Mambo/Joomla to Drupal. There are two things which I currently miss in Drupal, and I wonder if there are any easy solutions for this.

The first thing is the ability to link themes to users. In Mambo/Joomla, the public site is separated from the administrator interface with a different theme. Is something similar for Drupal possible? Designing a theme kinda breaks the ability to administer the site, especially if you're still messing with the template engine.

how do I setup a contact form

like the one at http://drupal.org/contact.

The user contact forms on my site require you be an authenticated user and I would like anonymous and authenticated users be able to contact the site admin direct through the standard drupal form. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance!

Simple Node-Privacy-By-Role question (with Organic Groups)

Hi there

I've just started using Node Privacy by Role, and seem to have some basic difficulties getting it to work. I'm initially using it in conjunction with Organic Groups, on the basis that some groups are intended for 'Executive' level roles within the site. Only Executives should be able to see and then use the group.

So, I've set a group to have view access only for the Executive level role, however at the moment any other role can still see the group. What am I missing?

Many thanks in advance,

Neil.

custom blocks

Howdie there people BeeN a drupal fan for 8 months now and been happy with the limited themeing ability up to now.. So im trying to get a basic understanding of how things are working in the theme modual (starting with push button).

My first task is to customize the image insterted at the top of each block (want different images for different blocks).. sounds easy enough..
Done a bit of reading and getting a little stuck..

i know each block uses "box.tpl.php" right

wich goes like this

print $title

print $content

then in the css

.block .title h3 {
border-bottom: 2px solid #6699cc;
color: #369;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 10px 5px 10px 30px;
margin-bottom: .25em;
background: transparent url(icon-block.png) left center no-repeat;
}
.block .content {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
}
.block {
margin-bottom: 1.5em;
}

lastly in the view source of the rendered html page

Events

bla bla bla bla bla

right so now my question..

do i have to edit the box.tpl.php file and create custom one's eg test.tpl.php but then how do i get selected blocks to use that file?
or do i have to create a custom

.blockTest .title h3 {
border-bottom: 2px solid #6699cc;

How can I make a central download-upload page?

It is possible to attach files to different node types, but those nodes can be displayed in several different areas. I need one page where people can upload and download files. RIght now I am using a book page and asking people to type the file name and a discription in the book's text and then attach the file at the bottom.

Is there a better way to do this? What node should the people use to post the files? How can all the files be displayed on one page that I can make a "files" link to in a menu?

Any help would be appriciated.

Simple roles problem or how to make one role's users be able to post priviate posts for users of that role

I am using the simple access modual and i made a group named bees and when I create a node there is a box that I can click to allow only the bees to view the node.

My problem is that I need the bees to be able to also post information that only other bees can see, but they do not have a box to click to make sure only the bees can see the node they are posting, so how can I make it that the bees can post private content too?
