I will try to explain this as best as I can. I'm running Drupal 4.7.6 with an edited console theme currently and a bunch of modules.
So the problem is somehow my side navigation bar went missing along with my right bar which I had a poll, popular content and a donation thing. I had acidfree gallery and posted content with pictures in the posts, those all disappeared. Somehow my nav bar came back today and its all blanked out, its sort of factory but not. Everything in the admin menu shows it the way it was before the error happened, all the modules installed and setup, etc but the nav bar has no links other then admin, creat log out and two others, before it had like 10-15 things. The admin menu doesn't show everything it should either as for installed modules. I also can't reach pages that were previously there like with the directory module.
I want to prevent guest users maliciously or accidentally interfering with a 'demo' user profile, but can't see how to achieve this.
I have assigned the demo user a special role and unchecked access control to user profiles for that role (and auth users in general), but it is not preventing display or editing of the profile. It appears that all authenticated users always have access to their own profile?
The log file is getting piled up day by day and posing space issues and slowing down the site eventually. Hw to clean up the log file periodically using drupal.
