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

User blogs with private viewers

I have succesfully installed Drupal and looked for a way of my users can establish a blog that can be read by designated and limited viewers.

I couldn't find how to enable that option (if exists).

Does anybody know how to do this?

thanks.

Filtering html tags

Hi,

I'm using Drupal 4.3.0 and I've got a java applet I'd like to put on a page for people to use. The only way that I've found to be able to put it on the page and still have drupal stripping tags is to allow the <applet> and <param> tags but this means that other people will be able to use them as well.

Is there some way I can exclude a static page from the filter and have the rest of the pages filtered?

Taxonomy Display term and child terms

drupal 4.3.2, RH 7.x

Within my vocabulary I have a term which has the id of 9. I want to show anything associated with this term and it's child terms

---- Current BOD Book (term id 9)
------ section 1 (term id 10)
------ section 2 (term id 11)
------ section 3 (term id 13)
------ section 4 (term id 14)
------ section 4 (term id 12)
etc. to section 20

[ordering of id's is nonsequential because of adding and editing]

I have each section related to all other sections and to the parent term.

Importing users from a custom database

I have a database where the user information is all in a flat file (thankfully). I want to bring as much information as possible into Drupal. How? What does each column do in the table or link to? How can I bring in the password? Right now they are stupidly stored as plain text.

My worst issue..... The profile module is a packed field and this one really has me baffled.

Thank you!

How to show a block only on Drupal Homepage (Drupal CVS - Clean URLs)

Hi all,
a very stupid question, but I can't figure out how to do it.
I tried specifying ^(/|index\.php)$^ in path, but it does not work.

thanks to all,

Hiding from tracker.module - but not setting unpublished

I've created a number of "back-end" web pages that are redirected to after a user goes through a Paypal transactin (eg "success" and "cancel" pages). However, these static pages show up in the "View recent posts" option (eg the tracker.module).

Does anyone know of an easy way off hand to tell tracker to ignore certain pages? I don't want these showing up in the tracker summary - as users clicking on the "success" and "cancel" pages causes watchdog entries and email notices to be submitted, etc...
