General discussion

when I add a node, it always tell me this:

Access denied for user: 'user@localhost' to database 'dbname' query: LOCK TABLES sequences WRITE in /var/www/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

how can I cover this problem?

I installed Drupal, have been looking around, and enjoy much of it. Its VERY powerful.

However, I'm finding some things that literally baffle me.

1) Comment Moderation - I enabled this in the modules, and set everything up according to the Handbook. Yet when I view comments on a story as either my administrator account or a normal users account (which has permission to moderate comments) nothing shows up as far as moderation is concerned. What's the problem?

2) User photos - I turned on the option to display user photos beside a post or comment, yet there's no option in the user profile to add a photo... I don't understand this.

3) Categories - Is there a block that shows a list of all of the categories on the side so that users can check out a certain category? - also, how do I get the items category (or term) to show up on the front page with a story (similar to drupal.org has "News and Announcements" or another term in each post)?

4) Submission Queue - pretty similar to content moderation. I enabled everything and followed the handbook to a T, but nothing shows up as far as being able to vote on any content or such...

5) File attatchments - I've attatched a few files to a few news stories, but nothing uploads or anything when I post.

6) Story description - How do I get the "read more" option to show up? Like when stories are submitted, how do you define what is just the "description" that should show up on the main page, and what is the full text that should show up when you hit "read more"?

I couldn't find anywhere what is the correct syntax to search on Drupal. If I just type: "word1 word2", I would get all nodes that have either words. Is there a document explaining the correct way to search?

Not sure, why they would use the contact form this way?

Hi everyone !

I'm gonna have a try writing in english. I apology for my bad english, but my mother tongue is french.

At the moment, my website is running under SPIP 1.8.1, a french CMS.

This CMS offers me the very best I need to complete my encyclopedic website (fansite). This very best is the use of keywords.

Unfortunately, my ideas to make the website bigger and bigger are going far beyond the possibilities of SPIP. Like, for an exemple, the creation of sections allowing to make some small amateurs movies (short movies) known from the public. SPIP doesn't allow me to do that. Most of all, his rigidity doesn't make it quite good for an awesome design.

I'm searching for a CMS offering a download manager, forums, articles, news, ...

Easy will you say ! Drupal is doing all that !

But the problem would have been way to easy to solve... And that's my problem. I must use keywords. As this is an encyclopedic website (fansite, I repeat myself ;) ), and as I studied some SGBD, I have a vision of my website very from the database point of view. Keywords are answering my questions. 1 keyword can be used 1, or infinity (SGBD knowers will recognised themselves). An article can be defined by different keywords. All of this allows a good presentation on the screen of the details (called by the keywords, who are making the definition and the résumé). It allows also to surf the website freely, going from 1 keyword to another, or linking information who have normally no relations between them, except sharing one or more common keywords. That's what gives my website that encyclopedic feeling.

We're looking at building a recruitment website and want to set it up so that users have their own individual accounts and can log in to view jobs that are relevant to them based on criteria that they've selected i.e. location, salary, job type etc. If possible I'd also like to set it up so that the system notifies them by email if a job meeting their requirements is added to the site. Can Drupal do this or could be fairly easily customised to do it?
