Of course it is possible. Just give 'Module Access Rights' to the 'Anonymous' users group for every module. You may also have to adjust some modules accordingly, like the 'News' one, to accept submissions without approval.

PS: Please note that I wrote 'Module Access Rights' and not 'Module Admin rights'

Well, this question has been answered quite some time here, and the solution to this bug, sorry feature , is the following. Once logged in, type:

http://www.yoursite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=groups

This will take you to the Groups section. From there check every 'System Admin' privileges box and the click on the 'Update' button below. Daaas it

Well, the WFSections module still has some issues and quirks. It's an excellent module nonetheless but it still needs some polishing, since it offers a wealth of features, some of which don't play very well with the core system just yet.

That said, yes I think it is a module-specific question. I am not using WFSections myself right now, so I cannot help you with this one, but if Catzwolf (the module's author) pops in and sees it, I think he may provide a solution.

To my knowledge this is not possible, but I am certain that someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I mean, you can allow anonymous (or guest) visitors to have access in the downloads section, but this automatically means that they will be able to download the items in question as well.

I don't know of any other way, I'm sorry. Perhaps someone else does

Ok, what we have here is definitely an improperly configured GNU/Linux server. Let me ask and say a few things:

1) Which version of GNU/Linux is the server running?

2) Have you or are you able to run cron jobs on the server?

3) What kind of access do you have to the server? I assume that SSH access is enabled since it's a dedicated server.

Also and like the others before me wrote, what do you mean by crashing? Is the whole server down, ie can you access a simple .html page?

35.000 members and 40 visitors on line simultaneously is not enough to crash a dedicated (GNU/)Linux server. I am amazed that it happened in the first place.

I wasn't going to answer your post, but hey... I'm having fun


Really? I hope you had a good laugh, eventhough the reason for doing so still eludes me. Oh well, I guess it depends on how each person reacts to a post...

Quote:

First of all I supposed that you would be able to read between the lines when I said 'everybody'. If I use 'omnipresent', would you then understand what I'm trying to say?


No, because the term 'omnipresent' is even more confusing and ambiguous. Herko provided us with some very nice stats btw. I cannot see the 'omnipresence' of IE 5.x there. Where is it? At least most of this site's visitors use IE 6, which has solved most of the problems IE 5.x was suffering from.

Quote:

Secondly implementing standards isn't done overnight. Back in 1999, when IE5 was launched, all browsers had lacking support for css1 and css2 (up until today even the W3C 'browser' Amaya, doesn't fully support css2).


Another false statement, in the sense that I am not talking about the lack of proper CSS support at the time these browsers were introduced, but what could have been done thereafter to improve CSS support. To my knowledge, Windows 2000, xService packs after still suffers from the same poor CSS support. At least, IE 6 does not.

Quote:

Thirdly, you may not be barring anyone, but UKDave is. When I said "you can do whatever you want" I wasn't refering to you barring anyone, but to you supporting UKDave's case (and of course you have the full right to do that).


I don't think that UkDave is barring everyone. Neither am I. I only stated that I too, prefer quality over quantity that is all. I would like my pages to be accessible by literally anyone. I am not discriminating against anyone. I have never done so and I will never will

Let me finish by providing this link:
http://www.google.be/search?q=browser+stats&num=100

Browser stats may not be 100% reliable, but they may give you a hint of what the average Joe is using. I'll stick with Opera though


True. Browser stats are not nearly indicative of the truth, but they do provide a general idea of what 'the average Joe' is using. I too had to spoof my browser string through Mozilla, more than one times. I also once created a user.js file in my profile folder to override the default string and present Mozilla as 'ThunderButt Extrapolator'. I wonder if I am there somewhere too

Opera is a good choice. Not the best, but definitely better than IE for reasons other than rendering. However, since you claim in your profile that you are into DTP and Web design, then you should also know that the best browsers regarding positioning of elements and standards support are the Gecko-based ones.

It was nice discussing with you!

Ciao


It was nice discussing with you as well, and I have yet to see the reason why you are getting so jumpy about the details. Don't be. I agree with most of what you have written so far.

Ciao e a presto... I suppose

I believe that such a 'hack' comes into the 'extras' file for the x2t theme and to my knowledge it works. I don't know of any other way though :)

awreneau,

There is nothing difficult to such a procedure. I have done it twice and haven't experienced a problem.

First of all, go to phpmyadmin and click on the 'Export' tab. From there, choose every possible option to save your db on a .sql file. It's really easy.

Secondly, move your entire directory structure to the new server and chmod the respective files and directories.

Thirdly, upload the .sql file through phpmyadmin to the new server. This will populate the new database, assuming that you have created one already ;)

Fourthly, change the respective options in mainfile.php and chmod it back to 444, so that it won't be writable by the server.

Voila! You are all set ;) Most of luck to you. Not that you're gonna need it, but in any case...
