Ask Agaric: Making the book block link to the parent of a book node

bjornkri: Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble getting my head around overriding blocks. I'm trying to make the book-block title a link to the root of the book. I've a lot of questions about how to do that in fact, but to start with I'm not sure how to override it without changing the source... Anyone willing and able to send me in the right direction?
[10:35am] bjornkri: I tried making a block-book.tpl.php, but I'm not sure how to access the link to the root of the book from there, or if that's even possible

Ask Agaric: Trying to deny access...

Hi there,

I am putting together a site that has very strict access requirements, there must be no access to content beyond the home page by anonymous users. To this end, I removed Anon. User 's access to Node Module content. This does the trick, no access to anonymous. However I was using 'node/1' as the home page which is now access denied :( Changing the access denied page to node/1 doesn't fix the issue either)

Ask Agaric: Drupal E-Commerce Payment Gateways

Can you list the other payment gateways?

Ecommerce has authorize.net (the payment gateway I've picked as best independent of Drupal), eurobill, eway, itransact, worldpay (they're terrible, reject way too many cards), and flexicharge. Not sure if that's just a module or a service. And that's just what's included with e-commerce proper, there are third-party contrib modules also.

Best way to do this is for you to pick the payment gateway you want, odds are Drupal has already been extended to work with it.

Ask Agaric (unsolicited edition) - how to moderate comments but not forum follow-ups

Just guessing, but look into hook_comment

Your request could be a pretty useful contrib module (if it isn't already!)

Ask Agaric (unsolicited edition) - how to change Drupal core output with a theme

Hi Neil,

I haven't themed forums in this way but here's the general approach:

You want to look in forum.module (and possibly other files such as include/*.inc files-- core isn't entirely modular (yet) to try to find the function that outputs the time. It _should_ be named function theme_something_something. (Where it is actually called to produce output it will be in the form theme('something_something') -- this is how Drupal allows you to override theme functions rather than modify core.

Ask Agaric: User registration is disabled? How can I let people sign up?

Guys, I just did a big mail out telling people to post their ideas on
our website and then found that new users can't sign up without an
invite? "Sorry, new user registration by invite only."

This is making us look really bad - inviting participation but not
allowing it!

I don't know why this is set up to block new users, but please fix this
ASAP.

thanks,
Steve
