Hi, I once had a similar situation with a much older version of Drupal. The resolution was to copy the files over. I was missing some files.

I installed it in Sourceforge.net http://fosta.sf.net A database has been created and i'm able to bring the first page. Now when i try to create the first account, it doesnt do anything. It returns back to the same login page again without any error mesg or info. Also when i checked the database, if any users are created, the users table is not altered. Also, Drupal is not sending any mail, when creating an account. when i try to use wrong user name and passwd, its not showing any mesg and goin back to the login page again.

Incoming feeds are kept separate from the rest of the content on your site (so users can't leave comments on RSS posts or find individual items via your search engine, for example). > > I don't have blogging installed. Is this a feature of the > blogging and > blogging api? It's a feature of the blog node type, so yes, you'd need to enable the blog module (but not blogapi, which lets you post into your site from an offline editor such as ecto or w.bloggar, i.e., it has nothing to do with incoming RSS in this case). As an experiment, try this: Enable the blog module. Go into your blocks admin console. Enable a block for the Google feed. Now call up a page on which the block is enabled. The block should list the 10 most recent posts from the feeds - and have a small blue "b" next to each item. Click on the "b" next to an item and you'll get a blog-entry form, with a title and description (pulled from the RSS) already filled out. Assign it to a particular category, make sure it's set as published and hit submit. You should now have an item in that category, which means you'll have an RSS feed. The URL in the RSS feed will actually be to the item on your site, but since the description will have a link to the actual item on the other site, your readers will still be able to get there without first going to your site (on the plus side, having a link to your site means they will also be able to comment on the item on your site; think of MetaFilter or Fark). -- Adam > > --- Adam Gaffin <AGaffin(a)nww.com> wrote: > > > One possibility: Create a block for the Google news feed > and put it up > > somewhere.

One possibility: Create a block for the Google news feed and put it up somewhere. Then use the little "b" next to each item to select the relevant items for blogging and slot those into a category, which will have its own feed.

I have disabled the SpamFilter module and the error messages disappeared. I had to manually edit the database to get the spamfilter disabled, because of these errors. Anyone else experiencing this kind of mproblem?

[drupal-support] Custom Menu & User Profile Link Oddness
by Garrett Coakley 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi, This is a clean install of 4.6.3. I'm creating a custom menu for navigation, and i want to insert a link to the current users profile page as i'll be hiding the main navigation block. This is labelled as 'My Profile': If I set the link in the menu item to the root relative '/user' it all works fine and I get the following: * Home * My Profile But, if I set it to 'user' (without the /), then it gains a link to 'my account' underneath: * Home > My Profile -- my account I'm not sure i understand why drupal is treating the two cases differently. Is this a bug, or is there something fundamental I'm missing? Ideally i don't want the 'my account' link, but i need the 'active' class for styling purposes, which doesn't get applied in the root relative case. Any ideas?
