mobile development with Appcelerator - still a good fit for Drupal?

I watched the SF2010 presentation on mobile app development using Drupal as the base / back end, presented by Sumit Kataria and Aaron Pava. The idea is exciting (although I'm new to Drupal and everything is exciting). They discussed the use of Titanium's Appcelerator as a development environment and run-time framework, and mentioned that a primary selector for this software was its openness and community support.

Blog posts only viewable by single user? (and the rest!)

Hi

Sounds crazy , but not really - it's about confidentiality. I run a drupal website for my residential special school, and I can see that it would be possible to set up a blog for each of the children at the school (28), so that they and their teachers can post information about their progress and activities.

Now the only people in the world who should be able to view this are the childrens parents, and all the staff at the school, and perhaps the odd care professional.

Custom Table

I have an ad management project I'm working on. The ads are setup as a content type. The status will be different depending on whether you are logged in with a Manger role, Sales Rep role, or Designer role. The status will change as it goes through the system (7 steps where it will change). I'm pretty new to drupal, but it seems the best way for me to set this up is to have a custom table set up like the following:

Satus ID Action Manager Status Sales Rep Status Designer Status
1 New ad submitted, no artwork. Sales Rep is reviewing. Ad needs artwork. Ad needs artwork.
5 Designer Uploads Ad Sales Rep is reviewing Review and send to client Sales Rep is reviewing

Views output field as link gives double '//'

Hi -

When I set a Views field to output as a link using [path] token and using absolute path it produces a link with a double '//' like this:

http://www.example.com//content/blah-blah

Anyone know how to fix this please?

Thanks

Date Module & Drupal 7 Problems

Hi,

I just upgraded to Drupal 7 on one of my sites and some modules are not working well.

For example I installed date module to list events. However I'm running into many problems like repeat day is not working or when I try to publish calendar block and delete one of the filters it's not letting me and showing page not found error as well as other problems.
For example if don't set time for when event ends it screws up starting time, etc.
