What is being written right now?

I am building a news website, but would like to make sure that the journalists are not writing the same articles at the same time. How can i avoid this?
At my old website (not drupal), i made a text box for the journalist to fill in with a short description of the article he was going to write befre being let onto the creation page. In the meantime, other journalist could see in content list that an article was already in process of being written.

Any suggestions?

Is there a way to only allow User Contributed content based by taxonomy term?

We want to allow users to contribute Business Press Releases to our site for admin approval and posting.

Our article content type has a taxonomy attached to it that includes a number of terms that I do not want the general public to choose from. At this time, I only want them to have the option to pick "Business Press Release".

Can someone point me in the right direction on this?

Thank you,
Joe

Error message on image upload on Drupal 6 site! Please assist!

Hi,

When I upload a picture using the album feature, the following error message comes up:

The selected file files/images/test.jpg could not be uploaded, because the destination is not properly configured.
Error Uploading File

I have checked the google search, and found no solutions. I tried 777 chmod on unix but that didn't work at all, and also re-checked the file systems directory as follows:

File System:

files/images

Temporary Directory:

files/tmp

I checked dir perms on both the above dirs and no success yet. Kindly assist.

Regards,
Shankar

News agency creeds for website

I am working on a new Drupal-based website for a news organisation. We would be subscribing to news agency feeds like Associated Press, Reuters, etc.

Is there any way, we can import the creeds straight on to the website? Ideally, only those creeds which we select/mark.

Thanks.

Best practices for news images

I am looking for best (available) practices to manage images for news. Is essential for news images to be reused some times. Does someone find a way to reuse images and arrange them in galleries?
I want to upload images, arrange them in galleries and be able to attach them to articles multiple times?

For now the closest I found is “IMCE file browser”, but it’s very basic way.
There are no thumbnails no description for pictures, only preview when you select the picture.

Someone found a way?

Adding Month and Year to Advanced Search

I am looking for a way to add the month and year to the Advanced Search function. This would search the Authored On date for matching records. This should also allow search by a Category, such as Sports. Even though this seems like a rudimentary thing, it doesn't appear to be a very straightforward thing to accomplish. I have looked and looked, but can't find the solution.

How to keep lightbox slideshows from showing all photos from multiple galleries on a listing page?

I am using Lightbox slideshows to display photos from galleries on a site. It works perfectly when there is only one gallery on the page, but when a page is a listing page with multiple galleries, it doesn't just show me the photos in that gallery, but all the photos on the page, from every gallery listed. Instead of 5 photos, a slideshow starts with 70 something photos.
