Hi

I need to display certain bits of info on my home page, for example, I want a catagory where I enter a one line teaser for a competition and I want that line displayed in a certain place on my home page, I want to display the 5 latest news articles and the 5 latest blog entries displaying their title only. I would also like the welcome message on the come page to be from the "welcome" catagory so that I can update or change it any time.

I have a site with a number of stories in 6 different topics: Topic. The 6 topics are created as terms in a vocabulary aptly named 'Topic' (Hierarchy: single). The topics A-F have terms no. 3-10. You can see the categories table here.

I also have a vocabulary with the name 'Access', which contains two terms: Public and Private (Hierarchy: disabled). Term no. 1 and 2.

The general idea is this: each story is allocated to a topic and also whether it should be Public (for everyone to read) or Private (for members only). I've set the permissions in the taxonomy_access and this seems to work just fine.

However, I now want to include a block with 6 links - one to each topic. Obviously, if an autheticated users clicks on the link to topic A - he/she should se all the stories in that topic. If an anonumous guest clicks the link, he/she should only see the Public stories in that topic.

I've tried with link ?q=taxonomy/term/3 to display Topic A (term no. 3), but for the anonymous users they're told: Access denied
I've tried with link ?q=taxonomy/term/3,1 to display Topic A (term no. 3) AND Access=Public (re. the rules about taxonomy URLS, the comma-delimiter should work as a boolean AND), but for the anonymous user, this displays all stories in with Access=Public

I suspect, Its the basic structure of my taxonomy and category permissions which are wrong for the job. You can see the category permissions for anonymous users here and for the authenticated user here. In access control, Anonymous and Authenticated users have permission to: access content and search content

Hello.

I am using the Goofy template because I like the layout and the rounded blocks, but I am having a tough time with changing the link text color of my story headlines/titles without affecting all the other links on the page.

I've altered the theme's block border colors from Orange to a Medium Blue. The text for a story's title isn't very visible with black on blue, so I changed the text to white.

The first problem is that the title is a link to the full story. So, I just edited the Link text color and made that white too.

I'm designing a site in drupal and have a need to get a list of all users of a certain role. I took a look at the database and noticed the role information is lumped into the data field. I only know how to do basic SQL queries, so can anybody give me an example of a SQL query that will return all users of a certain role?

Thanks so much,
Mitch

Is there any way to add categories to Event Calendar? I want to use the calendar for storing two types(categories) of events. Any hack or module to do this kind of thing?

Hello,

I am trying to integrate photo sharing capabilities into my community site. Each user should have their own gallery accessible through their blog page. I've narrowed my choices down to Gallery2 and Acidfree. My main goal here is simplicity. Additional features like slideshow and tag support would be nice, but not crucial at this time.

I'd like a recommendation as to which software is better for use with a site like mine.
