Drupal 6.x

Hi

I have just read about drupal being (the first?) cms with integrated community features.

I am currently using joomla but want to start a new site with the following features:

- profile of users with the ability to enter "the typical" things like name, hobbies,birth date, picture...
at best it would be to be able to configure custom fields without the need to really programm them. Just like a web based config tool (click&play)

- rating features: e.g. recommendation for a bar or a hotel.

We are getting ready to convert our website into a Web 2.0 online community.

Our current plans are to use CiviCRM on Drupal for our CRM/CMS integration.

Can anyone point us to scalable, mission-critical sites running these platforms?

We still have our doubts about whether they are ready for “prime time” yet.

Also, we need to find a hosting environment beyond the shared ISP offerings.

Thanks!

Hello, I have a few questions I need answering

Is there a way I can create a page specifically so I can browse articles that I have published? (I suspect there is some module out there that does this)

How do I change the front page so it doesn't display all recent published stories?

How do I move all the recent published stories to a different page on my site?

Just to clarify, "published stories" are the stories that appear on the front page when you publish new content

thanks in advance

went to upgrade 6 to 6.1 and i get this error

Access denied. You are not authorized to access this page.

i followed these directions
There is a line inside your settings.php file that says $update_free_access = FALSE;. Change it to $update_free_access = TRUE;.

but still no luck

i have full admin rights

any clues

Hello,

I can't add a new item in an existing menu because I get the following error: "The path 'node/5' is either invalid or you do not have access to it."

My question is if I must create the "node/5" before to put the path to it? Or it is a bug?

Thank you for your help!!!

Hi all,

I’m using Drupal 6.1, and the CCK modules aren't yet ported to Drupal 6.x.

Is there any way for users to search other users by more than just their user name? I created a customized profile with the user's location and area of expertise as two primary search items I'd like available for others to search (i.e. find all users on the site who are from Boston who are in the entertainment industry, or even just find the keyword "Boston" in any profile field). Is there any way to do that in Drupal 6.1 yet? I've read a lot about the content profile module which can be searched just like any other content nodes for keywords, but it doesn't look like I can make any customized fields on the content profile without using the CCK module (which unfortunately is not ported to 6.1 yet).

I want users to be able to search other users’ profiles quickly and efficiently. I found the table where the profiles are stored in my MySQL database. Is there a way to query the user database itself and just report the uid (user id) from my website (without using phpmyadmin or even being an administrator)? Or perhaps placing a search engine bar (Google, FreeFind, etc.) on my site?
