Need sme help with modules

Hi turkey stuffed folks!

I uploaded and installed the chatbox, guestbook and feedback modules to my drupal site (www.madsoleh.com/index) but it seem like none of them are working correctly.

First of all: they only show up on my navigation in administrator mode
Second: Eventhough in administrator mode, when i click on guestbook, i only see the "guestbook" header, nothing more nothing less.
Third: all the above again.

Help - can drupal do this??

Hi everyone - i have been researching drupal for the last few days. i am NOT a technical person but want to build a website. I do know some basic frontpage for example.

I would like to build a content website. I need to be able to easily post content - using a web browser. and I would like for the navigation to automatically update. Before i found this product, i was all set to buy this product which seems to offer exactly what i need. it's a commercial product that is only $299 for lifetime. the upside is that it can do exactly what i'm looking for.

Couple more questions

I had a couple more questions about how to get my site a certain way so I created a image which will be how my site template is.

New at this, already hit a small snag...

Hello all,

I'm trying to install drupal on my server. Successfully loaded the tables into the database and I've updated the lines $db_url = "mysql://username:password@localhost/database"; and $base_url = "http://www.example.com"; in the settings.php file ...

Up to step 5 in the handbook and pointed my browser to my URL and get this error:

Access denied for user 'usernamethatIset'@'IPI'msupposedtouse' (using password: YES)

Any suggestions?

Is drupal good for a university newspaper site

Hi,

I'm a student and also the webmaster at the student newspaper of my university. Recently I have been thinking about changing our site. We have basically static pages and we use the New Digital Group publishing mechanism which is more than lame to say the least.

Can drupal handle these requirements?

I currently have a number of sites that I have built using mambo and joomla. My friend is starting a non-profit organisation and has asked me to set up a website for them. She has very specific requirements that at present mambo/joomla can't meet. Someone on the forums there pointed me in the direction of drupal but it isn't clear to me from the documentation I've read whether this meets the requirements or not.
So my question is, can drupal handle these requirements?
1. The site will have a public front page but it is essentially a community site and membership of the community is by invitation only.

2. Access to all other areas of the site is for members only.

3. Ideally members should be able to invite new members but it is acceptable to have this function only available to the admins if necessary.

4. A member should be able to define a new "Project Area", that member will become the moderator of that project area.

5. The Project area moderator can invite other community members to join their project for collaboration purposes... only people who have joined the project (and site admins) should have access to the project area.

6. Each project area will have a discussion forum, a blog, a document repository (with a comment feature for each document if poss) and if possible a live chat room.

7. Each member would be able to see the projects they moderate and the projects they have joined in their profile but this information is not available to other members.
