I was wondering, after visiting http://www.moby.com, on how to do do two things:

1) The main page is an image.
2) Most of the links (journal, music, news) do not lead to nodes (ex: http://www.moby.com/journal)

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for reading.

After fiddling with Drupal I discovered paths. So scratch that. Instead I was wondering (along with number 2) on how to have the sidebar appear only when a user is logged in.

Thanks.

In 4.7 you can configure which blocks are visible by using the page specific visibility settings... Click the Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only). checkbox, and enter the following code (if you want blocks to be visible only when logged in):

<?php

  global $user;

  if ($user->uid) {
    return TRUE;
  }

?>

If you want blocks to be visible only for anonymous users, change it to the following:

<?php

  global $user;

  if (!$user->uid) {
    return TRUE;
  }

?>

cheers...

Make a block, set it to 'php' 

  global $user;
  $output = '';
  if($user->uid) {
     $output .='content';
     $output .='even more content';
  }
  return $output;

if you hqave sidebar links and you want them to link anywhere say an external site, Iusually create a new block and put my links in there instead of adding them with admin>menu.

on disabling the sidebar for un-authenticated users you can just disable the menu items that displays for un-authenticated users - this way your side bar will only appear when you are logged in as admin
