After creating a site with a few pages, and promoting one to the front page so it becomes the Home Page... my client, the user, is able to see an edit button for all pages except the front page (Home page).

I have gone into Administer-> Permissions and ensured that all the following are ticked for 'authticated user':

edit any page content
edit any story content
edit own page content

Are there any other settings that allow a user to edit the front page? At the moment, only the administrator (me) is able to edit this, and not the client (authenticated user).

I have only seen a fix for Drupal 4 when searching, and this does not seem to apply to Drupal 6, so any help is welcomed please?

Are you by any chance using any PHP on that page?
If you do, your client will not see the edit button unless you give him permission to use PHP.

Thanks for responding so quickly clivesj.

No there is no php just a standard Page with some text on it. In the text, there are one or two html tags such as <a href="... and also headings like <h3> and the rest is plain text.

Is the user able to edit the page by using the url:
www.example.com/node/xxx/edit

Where xxx is the node-id

clive,

Whilst the user is logged-in... I enter

http://www.exaple.com/node/1/edit

I get the following error:

Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

I was pondering over your earlier suggestion... and tried soemthing... although there is no PHP in that page as such... the option in Input format was set to Full HTML.

This may have been what you were referring to before? although there is no suggestion of PHP on that option.

Anway, I set it to Filtered HTML and the user was then able to edit.

My next step was to work out how the user can edit regardless of this particular setting. I went to permissions, and checked the box administer filters under filter module and this worked.

Not straight forward.. but got there in the end.

Many thanks clive!
