Drupal 4.7.x

I'm not sure if I'm missing some concept, or if this is a limitation of the 4.7 core profile.module. I'm building a site for an organization with profile fields for "Officer" (checkbox) and "Officer Title" (list selection). This gives me a very nice "organization leaders" page with 10-12 profiles without any coding (fantastic feature). I am also using the taxonomy_access.module to classify [other] content as public or members-only.

Issue #1: I don't want members to edit these profile fields and assign themselves as officers.

Issue #2: I *do* want anonymous users to be able to view the organization's profile page at:

   www.example.com/profile/profile_officer    // show officer names & positions held

For example, I don't want Joe Janitor to edit his profile and assign himself as "President" of the organization. This should only be defined by an administrator. I *do* want anonymous users to see the organizational structure.

Is there a way to accomplish this without hacking? The options available at administer > settings > profile are as follows:

• Hidden profile field, only accessible by administrators, modules and themes.
• Private field, content only available to privileged users.
• Public field, content shown on profile page but not used on member list pages.
• Public field, content shown on profile page and on member list pages.

I have tied in Drupal 4.7 with my existing storefront, which is ASP/MySql. I am using the User Import module to synch user accounts. My user accounts will be managed from within the existing ASP programming framework.

Accordingly, I need to disable the 'My Account' functionality on the Drupal pages; passwords, signatures, etc. will be updated outside of Drupal, in my existing ASP application. 'My Account' says however 'Locked', I cannot just turn it off from the Drupal Admin account..

Hallo!
I just find Drupal! And I have no idea how to install because I m not a developer!
Someone will assist me to full installation process? Thanks

This is a reformulation/extension of my question
Can Drupal geotag its content?

I have discovered the existence of PostGIS extensions to PostGreSQL
(which Drupal can use, right?) and of the Carto Module

So the question in my other thread becomes "Can Drupal, using PostGreSQL,
PostGIS and the Carto Module, add to each node and site the functions/capabilities which I originally asked:

"This node is associated these coordinates"

Hi,

I have to build a new website. Initially I considered wordpress to make interaction
with vanilla blogs easier, then I realized that Drupal is better for the way I must/
want manage and categorize content.

The main reason to consider wordpress was... that all blogging software make
very easy to casual bloggers (= web surfers who do not know and do not want
to know php, html, mysql....) to trackback, pingback, discover new articles
through technoratic, pingomatic and similar, write about them and cross link them...

In a nutshell, I had the impression that I should use a blog tool not because it was
better for me as the publisher: only to make it much easier,
faster, more familiar for the non technical web user, to discover and above all
cross-reference (=advertise!) my own pages from their blogs:
you know, to provide all the trackback, pingback, permalink stuff/buttons etc...
that they already know from their own wordpress/ MT/whatever installation.

So the question is, if/how it is possible to make a Drupal Website look/act like
another blog from this point of view? (Remember, only to its visitors!!
Me, I don't mind hacking the source code, shell scripts or whatever it is to make
it happen). Which settings, plugins, whatever?

Also, can you provide URLs of drupal-powered websites which already do this,
