Drupal 6.x

Please forgive my ignorance before reading this thread as I am a total php ignoramus and appolagise if I've posted this to the wrong forum.

Now for a really stupid question:

I am looking for a Drupal developer to design some software for me however every time I'm contacted they ask what exactly I want i.e. What sub-modules and functionality is required!!

What!!!

Surely that is the point of hiring someone, I don't know what I want that's why I'm hiring someone, if I knew I'd do it myself?

I've been impressed with what I've seen of Drupal so far but can it do the following:

I need to have 3 levels of access to the site based on membership groups
I need Drupal to handle the subscription payments
Will the subscription payments update the user access level based on what has been paid for

Thanks

I'm developing a site, the core of which will be based around photography. I want my users to be able to comment on and discuss the imagery on the site, and in future versions be able to order prints. My problem is i have no idea which gallery module to use. I've noticed quite a few people using gallery2 from menalto but i just feel that this is possibly overkill for my requirements. The gallery2 download is 30mb+ alone. I'm also considering using flickr so i don't have the overhead of hosting all the images on my site.

Any tips would be greatfully received!

Thanks

Hello everybody I am new in the forum!

I am an absolute beginner with drupal and I just try to install the autolocale module but
without success. Unfortunately I do not know where I can find a modules-Administration
in the Administer-Area. Somewhere was written, that you have to go in the Menu to
administer -> site configuration -> modules. But I miss the modules menu-option.
Is there a different way to install modules?

What do I do wrong? Could someone please help me with that issue?

Thanks alot,

What is the diffence between prepare step and process step ?

Hi, I'm using Drupal 6.1 and have the following problem.

This page: http://www.zoosite.nl/site/
Has 2 images in it, both in blocks. In firefox, everything works perfectly, but in IE they disappear completely. How can this be.

Logging in or out doesn't make any difference.
