I'm developing a single user/administrator theme, but I haven't managed to get quite the configuration I want out of it.


Question 1: At the moment, when my single user/administator posts a story -- ("a static page") -- the user is the only one that can read it. Without logging in, non-users get access denied to this page. In contrast, the blocks show up, but they don't work -- for example the rss feed responds with an "access denied" to non-logged-in users.


So I'm sure I'm dealing with a permissions problem here, but I can't figure it out.


Question 2: How does my user/admin log in and post new stories when I get rid of the "user login" block? I would settle for a creating a simple login page separate from index.php. I would also settle for a simple "admininster" link.


Thanks for the info,


William

1) Under "user management" in the administration pages, select "user permissions." You'll need to have the appropriate permisssions set for the "anonymous user" role. In particular, "access content."

2) If you get rid of the login block, you can log in on the main user page. If you are using clean URLs, this is www.yoursite.com/user -- if not, www.yoursite.com/index.php?q=user. When logged in, to get to the administration pages go to www.yoursite.com/admin or www.yoursite.com/index.php?q=admin. You could put these links in a custom block or modify your theme to include the links. However, it sounds like you'll want the "user information" block to stay there. It won't be there to bother anonymous users; just disable the "user login" block.

Dude,

If had mod points, I'd mod your post to "very helpful". Works perfectly now. Thanks so much!

Boy, that was obvious (point 1).
Glad I'm not the only one having that problem. ;-)
