Typically, start by creating a child page of an existing page.

I've updated permissions for "contributors" - basically all authenticated members that I knew about before the recent website lockdown - so that *existing* book outlines can be accessed with new pages. You should now be able to assign your pages to an existing book. Contact a "writer" or "administrator" to create a new book. (Writers and admins may well do that of their own accord if it seems appropriate.) > The site also allows one to give content a more readable URI, but I > suspect you have to be an admin to do that? An admin or a writer, yes. Just to try and have some sort of order. > > After creating it, the only way I could find it again, was by using > > the search. Is that deliberate?

In the first step, contact one of the "writers" listed on the Organisation page: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/organisation (Itself a child page of DCGLUG contacts which is a "top level book" in the navigation bar.) > We are using Drupal, it has ample documentation elsewhere, I'm not > sure reproducing it on the site would help.

There is a drupal link at the bottom of every page but deliberate links to relevant help pages would help too. Thing is though, a lot of the drupal.org docs are admin-biased and will often refer to things that users of DCGLUG might not have permission to do. Also, the various "categories" of users are just free form labels, so what a "contributor" or "authenticated user" in DCGLUG has no relation to similarly named categories in any other drupal site. Sadly, that is the ongoing price we will all have to pay because of those who abused the site when it used a more accessible system. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
