Post installation

As it stands now, anyone can go to my site, create an account and get in. I want to restrict access to only those members of a small group I'm creating the site for. They need the site to be private (for "their eyes only").

Is there a good way to do this in Drupal? Should I password protect the entire site (e.g., using a web control panel?).

Thanks.

And here we go again trying to understand how to correctly use taxonomy... it seems this subject is endless; I've read a lot of posts about taxonomy organization, but still can't figure what to do...

My site is to be divided in main sections:

Architecture
Graphical & Web Design
CAD
Personal

Each section is independent. I'll probably use different themes for each one. Every node will be in only one section.

Each section will have different publication categories, as follows:

About the company
Portfolio
Articles
Client's area (only 'clients' role will be able to access this)
Blogs (only for 'family' role)

I'm using front_page module to create a front page in mysite.com/. This page will have links to each section. Then I want each section's 'home' to have links to each publication category. So mysite.com/architecture would have links to About, Portfolio, Articles and Client's area.

The portfolio for Architecture would show different teasers from the portfolio for Graphical & Web Design; the Articles for CAD would not be shown together with Articles for Personal section; and so on.

So, the 'Multiple but Shorter' (MBS) categorization site would be divided in two main vocabularies, 'Sections' and 'Publication Type':

Sections (vocabulary)
- Architecture (term)
-- Residential (subterm)
-- Commercial (subterm)
-- Educational (subterm)
- Graphical & Web Design (term)

I'm probably missing something simple, but how do I get a page that shows the forum topics, posts, etc. like on drupal.org? Right now it's just the "create content" links in the main menu and that sends users directly to the form.

Any suggestions? I couldn't find anything in other forum topics... but searching for "forum" beings up just about everything! :)

Thanks,

hi. i've created a new content type and one of the fields is for adding a url. how can i get the field to show as a the linked field name or as another preferred alias??

for example: say the url field in the content type is for an external link to drupal's download page (http://drupal.org/project). the field label is "Downloads". when published, the textarea would look like:

Downloads:
http://drupal.org/project

Hi,
Even after enabling image and img_assist modules. I can't see the preview of images when I try to put images in my blog. However, my server is enabled with GD toolkit and also imagemagic. I tried changing a number of settings like full html and all but in vain. When I upload an image with image assist module, I am able to add the picture but however I can't see the preview of the picture. It just appears like a thin blue line. Please help. It's been ages since I have been stuck with the problem.

Thanks.

Ashish.
