it restricts only terms' access, but not nodes'.

Yes, I installed it correctly - to the best of my knowledge. I also just applied the patch. The module seems to work fine otherwise. I can give role access to users and they cannot view content, etc. It's just when they try to create content, all the catagories are available (when some should not be).

Does the patch also require that I update my mySQL database with the new file as well?

Hey again...

Ok, I re-installed the whole taxonomy_access module and mysql file into the database. I still get the same problem.

Example: I created two users 'public' and 'private'. I created two vocabularies 'public directory' with 'public term' under it; and 'private directory' with 'private term' under that. Then I created two roles 'public' and 'private'. I assigned the corresponding vocabularies and permissions to create some content (pages, blogs, etc.) to each of the roles. I then activated the assigned roles to the users. So, all is good - access, permissions, etc. are all in correct order.

Now, when I log in as the 'private' user I can create content (in the 'created content' area, yes) and assign the nodes I create to either 'public' or 'private' catagories (which I assigned in the permissions). That is all good. However, when I log in as the 'public' user and attempt to create content I get both 'public' and 'private' catagories to assign the node to. Then when the content is created (by the 'public' user) I cannot view content (any node) that was assigned under the 'private' catagory. This is how it should be, but the 'public' user should not even be ABLE to select the 'private' catagory in the first place.

I hope that wasn't too overly confusing. I tried re-create the problem and use the simplest user names, etc.

Any help with this issue would be most appreciated - I'm quite sure this isn't how the module was intended to work and I would like to resolve this.

Thanks.

Ok, I'll uninstall the module and install the CVS one. What exactly is the difference between the two anyway? Also, the taxonomy.patch simply goes in the modules directory, correct? That's all you need to do with it?

Yes, I'm seeing the terms I created, not the vocabularies, in the select box when creating content.

Any idea where I'd find that windows program? I searched for 'applying patch with windows', etc.. but I can't seem to find anything.

Great! Thanks!

Just for some clarification though... would I be using a windows GUI program (such as the ones you linked me to) to patch Drupal modules on MY local machine and then upload the modules to my server? Or does all the patching take place over the net directly to the module files on my server? I suppose I could be looking into it, but I'm at work and I'm just trying to get a grasp on all these details before I get home to work on it.

Alrighty, that's what I figured.

Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated.
