I have a Drupal 7.7 site installed with a MySQL backend and I am trying to connect to an Oracle XE instance to pull some data. I have installed the Oracle Driver module and added a second database to my settings.php file. After issuing db_set_active to select the database defined in the settings.php file and executing a query against the Oracle database, the page throws a 500 error with no other information about what is wrong.
The site I need is pretty complex and feature-rich. Suffice to say that it is going to be informational, done in multiple languages and configured via different domains/subdomains. At some point the module development will probably be needed. I am a firm believer in incremental development as long as the foundation (strategic decisions) are well-thought. So at this stage (stage-1) I simply want to lay a foundation for that site, so it could be launched. All other work will be done incrementally over the point of who-knows-how-long-time (probably a life-long project). I would like to find a person/group, who would make the work for stage-1 and ideally, if we both like the experience of working with each other, could also continue to work on other stages as well.
The requirements for stage-1 are pretty low and you can safely assume that no module development will be needed at the first stage. Theme (html/css/php; graphic work will not be needed) development skills will be needed. But on a pretty low level - the point is to lay a basic canvas for site's functionality (so I won't require you to know any JQuery or any other scary words :) ). For other stages the proper graphic/UI designer will be hired to make everything perfect, so you really should think only about the Drupal stuff.
I'm almost new to drupal and i have some questions for you guys! I've built 1 drupal site in the past and the one I've build it for was satisief, it was just a basic site with some information about his profession.. Really nothing special!
Nowadays I have an other problem, I really need to make an extended site! It's for a club of students in Ghent, Belgium and the site has to offer following services:
I have a calendar and I have some events that repeat (appear 3 consecutive weeks). I made sure event has repeat dates entered, but when I view in my calendar it doesn't seem to show up. Is it a Drupal 7 bug or is there field I need to add/modify in views to make sure repeated dates show up.
