New Stingray Install
Just installed the Stingray them on our existing Drupal site. Great theme. Things are going pretty well but I have run into a few roadblocks:
1) Un-Authenticated users can see the Dynamic Display block but can't see the images within the Dynamic Display blocks (or in the article). Authenticated user can see both. Can you tell me what permission I'm missing? I've gone over them like 5 times and can't figure it out
2) How can I apply the same formatting for article teasers to other views on the site? Example, the teasers on this page don't look the same as the front page: http://www.thestockmasters.com/_dev/view/CD_Investing_View
3) Is it 100% necessary to create the additional 'article' content type? Is there an easy way to just modify the 'story' content type?
4) Can you point me to where I can change the URL formatting in the CSS? Right now it's showing up black and when you hover it turns to a different color, but it's hard to tell that there is a URL there in some cases. Sorry for the basic CSS question :)
Thanks for the support!

Hi,
Let's see if I can solve some of these...
1) The images problem sounds like it's being caused by the Content Permissions module, one of the CCK modules. You'll need to grant users permission to see the image field named field-image
2) This is because the teasers are being created by the view instead of using node.tpl.php for a template as regular teasers do. I'd have to take a closer look at this one.
3) It's not necessary, and it could be easy to use the Story content type, depending on how used to Drupal you are. You'd need to add the additional fields contained in the Article content type to the Story content type, then remove the Article content type. You'd then need to go back and edit the View that controls the Dynamic Display Block so that it's filtering by Story articles, and you'd need to reconfigure the Dynamic Display Block. So it really depends on your skill level - if you're new to Drupal, I'd recommend keeping the Article content type.
4) The urls are up on line 15 of the stylesheet (style2.css in your case). Looks like:
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #333333;
font-weight: bold;
}
a:hover {
color: #2f56a4;
}
If you wanted an underline on the urls, you could do something like:
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #333333;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: underline
}
