Post installation

I'm using 4.6 and friendselectric theme running on the PHPtemplate engine. I was wondering if there was an easy way to choose whether a post would have the authors name and date/time stamp below it or not when it is published.

I can take out the print call in "node.tpl.php" to make it so none of the nodes have the author and date, but I was hoping there would be a way to choose this option during authoring the node.

Ideally, I could set it so some users, anonymous lets say, have to have their names and time show up, but others, like admins, could take it away.

Hi,

Can I somehow add different customized menus for different pages? That is, I have one top level page, from which opens a couple of pages which has same menu as the top level page but then a couple of pages which should have different menu (none of the top level menu items showing). The layout of the pages should be the same, so the user (editing bottom level page) should have permissions to edit only the menus (and content) of that particular page.

How to make an Admin only visible dropdown menu and put it as a -admin only visible bar on top of the theme?
is the a way around to do this?
That would improve simplify the Admin interface esy access at least
I can organise a menus as short cut to 3 major category for easy access rather than going down and down levels

basically a menu bar on top of the theme with

1 - Create new content
default sub items
2 - Admin
default sub items
3- Settings
default sub items

It gives this message:
" Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page."

It seems I have to enable the "administer nodes" permission in order to let users (both guests and authentic user) view the images, but I don't want them have the ability to edit anything.

I hot flexiblock.module set up
- i like to put some blocks in 2 columns
- I assigned
flexiblock 6
and
flexiblock 7
to go under the pages

and on node.tpl.php i defined the blocks as below
(I clean the rest except the bit with flexinode insert)

> 
</div>
<br /><br /><br />
	<?php theme('flexiblock_html', 6) 

theme('flexiblock_html', 7)

?>
