Post installation

I am trying to execute a pretty standard nav scheme that employs a static primary navigation bar. Secondary nav would be determined by which primary nav caegory was selected. What is the most elegant method for executing this type of scheme? So far I am having difficulty in getting the section specific secondary nav menu-block that I created to appear on all entries that relate to that section. Any Ideas?

I need to have 3 types of users on a site:

Anonymous -- can only view certain nodes
Member -- can view all nodes as well as post comments on them
Admin -- basically a site admin, can do anything

How can i implement this? How can i get finer grade permmissions for users?

I have no need for an outgoing feed yet the URL's getting hit very very often. Is there any convenient way to turn off node/feed within Drupal? Or do I need to modify .htaccess?

I would like users to be able to modify whether or not people can comment on the posts they make. By default I want comments for all nodes to be Disabled, then the owner is able to set them to Read Only or Read/Write. This is for an online writing community where I would like the poster to be able to accept criticism, or not. I don't want to give authenticated users "moderate comments" to reach this end, because then (as I understand it) they can moderate/edit/delete othe people's posts/comments. That is not desirable.

I would like to re-order the links that appear at the bottom of the content nodes, the "read more" and "email this page" and "unsubscribe" stuff.

Currently, there are a couple of links in the way of the "read more" link, which on our site is more important than the others.

I would also like to shorten the vocabulary on some of the links, so "email this page" becomes "email" or some such nonsense.

Does anyone have any tips? Thanks!

Thought it best to start a discussion re: overriding the USER LIST page layouts here, rather than in the handbook.

In response to a question by Steve:

I used your snippet to display profile. It works fine when I display it in http://www.mysite.com/user/John_Smith. All the profile fields have their label and looks exactly what I wanted. I will look like:

Name: John Smith
City: New York
About me: I am a web designer.

But when I display it as http://www.mysite.com/profile or http://www.mysite.com/profile/city/new_york to list all the profiles, then it does not show the 'profile field labels' and only profile fields are listed . It looks like:

John Smith
New York
I am a web designer

Hi Steve,

I haven't created an override for the user_list pages yet, so I don't have a quick answer to your query.

I think you need to override the theme_user_list function. the example above overrides the theme_user_profile function.

I don't have time to try this at the moment, but, if you try this:

1. copy the override snippet for the user_profile and add it to your template.php file
2. before saving the new template.php file, change "user_profile" to be "user_list" eg. instead of phptemplate_user_profile it should read phptemplate_user_list. (do the same for the phptemplate callback)
