Drupal 7.x

Alright guys, i want to make a website which has functionality similar to social networking websites like facebook/orkut where users can make their own profiles, interact with each other through variety of Flash applications & games and become a free or paid members (with various payment options like PayPal, Credit card, etc.). To make such a website i know i have to learn flash, PHP, Mysql and Dreamweaver. I have learned Flash already.

I’d welcome any advice as to the best way to structure a new site with what I think is a rather unusual requirement. If it’s actually quite common then I’d really appreciate pointers to how other people have found it’s best done. I’m new to Drupal 7 but it looks like the best candidate to replace our existing and very old fashioned fixed page site www.ownergroups.com. This was created several years ago and relatively easily using MS FrontPage, but we now need to change to a CMS base. I’m asking here and now because I don’t want to invest a lot of time in experimenting with a strategy but then find that not only it won’t work but that would have been obvious to someone more knowledgeable, who’d say “it would have been much better to have done THIS to start with”.

We need a main site with public access – no big issue with that. The strategic issue is that we then need a potentially quite large number (10s to 100s) of very small private sites (5-25 pages). Each of these has a near-identical (cloned) structure with a menu and appearance different to the main site. They will only be accessed by a very small number (3-8) of users per site, whose access is restricted to that particular site.

I use this code to add a SPAN tag in my menu, it only works on all other menus except main menu where I need it. What am I doing wrong?

Hello

I'm to Drupal and I want to divide my website into categories.

I explain:
On mysite.com I want to have categories like mysite.com/group, mysite.com/music, ...
I've searched but I didn't found to add articles in those categories so that I can change the menu when you're in another port of the website (f.e. when you're on mysite.com/music you see the music menu) and when I add a new about music I see this news in /music/newsitem... (not /newsitem).

Thanks for the help

Now that Drupal 7.1 and 7.2 have been released, I noticed that Drupal is not sending an update notification e-mail. The configured address is correct and Drupal is set to send an e-mail on "all updates".
E-mails get sent correctly when new users are registered or a user requests a new password.

Hello,
I want to display a content - webform in right region ( i have 3 column page - left-column, middle-column and right-column. It would be easy if webform would be block, then i could just add it to specific region. But it is a content type. And if i create it, it displays itself in "main content" block. But my main content is in middle-column.

So i want to make new content block besides main-content and add specific content type to it. How ?
