At 8:27 in the video when you are clicking display vocabulary: post category, I do not have that option. On mine it says "Hide vocabulary: Post Category" and I left it unchecked and my categories don't show up in my blog posts (like in the example you used)? Do you know why? Thanks a lot and great videos.

nice video. one question, for

nice video.

one question, for a multi-user blog, is there some form of permission control that will restrict which blog type a user can select/create based on role/permission?

an example would be a guest blogger and a employee blogger where the employee blogger can select "official news," but the guest blogger cannot.

thanks

Content Type Restrictions

The best way to approach that is by having two content types and two roles. So first you would create your "official news" content type then set the permissions for that type to edit and view for employees and view for guests. Your "unofficial" content type would be set to edit and view for guests. So you would be creating two roles at /admin/user/roles and then setting the permissions for your content types in the "node module" section at /admin/user/permissions.

Re: Categorizing Content On Your Site

Thanks for interesting screencast. I follwed along on my own test site but under my settings for acquia_marina I do not see any of those options you mentioned (post-categroy) etc. Any reason why?

Re: Categorizing Content On Your Site

There are two possibilities. First, missing files. Second, a different version of Acquia Marina. Unzip and re-upload the theme files to make sure that you have everything available to the site.

Re: Categorizing Content On Your Site

okay I found the problem. I use Drush and it brought down the latest version which is 6.x-3.0 but when I installed the older version 6.x-2.0, those options showed up. Hmmm I don't know too much about themes but I find it quite weird???
