Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

New password....

Checking out the email new password function, it evidently doesn't work, as I have tried it, with no new pw being emailed. When it asks me for either my email or my username, I put it in, then click Email New Password, there is no confirmation that it got emailed, and it kicks me back to the login/email new pw screen. Any help will be apprieciated. Thx in advance.

Search functionality seems weak

Whenever I do a search on a single word, I get good results. However, if I use two words, as the instructions says is supported, I never get anything. Even if both of the words singularly return several results, together they return nothing. This has been the case since I started using Drupal almost a year ago. Is there some trick to performing a multi-word search, or setting up for it? I would it expect it to something like Google which, frankly, tends to give me better results for my site than search.module.

RSS feed and content security

I'm running a site which contains some sensitive information that I'd like only authenticated users to see. However, when I set content permissions to only logged in members, my RSS reader retrieves an empty feed. Is there a way to authenticate through a reader - or is there a way to make content available in the RSS feed but not the web site?

How do I point a link in a block menu to display a gif in the main "body" of a drupal page but keep the blocks on the side?

Hello:

I have installed both the Navigation and Menu modules on my 4.4.1 install. I can make a menu list....but here is my problem....

What I need to be able to do is click on one of my links in the blocks I create....and have a giff image I reference in that link appear in the main "body" of the drupal page, while keeping the blocks on the side.

What I currently get is that the entire web page switches to the gif image. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this with Drupal? I'm not a programmer..... but I think this project is drawing me into the folds.

Renaming 'node' to 'content'?

Hi!

It's been fun using Drupal. I am newbie but I found uses 'node' everywhere. Is there a way to say change node to content? Not in all the display but also for things like search? Basically i want my pages to read mysite.com/content/view/1 and also display 'content' in the search pages instead of 'node'.

Is this possible? Or does it mean a lot of hacking?

How does a block read an RSS feed?

So, I'm checking out various sample sites, such as: http://www.heliopod.com/.

Notice how on this site there's a Slashdot Block. It sure looks like it is displaying the headlines of an RSS feed.

Is there a module that does this that I missed? If not, how do I make these things?

Thanks,
Warr
