Drupal 7.x

Hi, I think I'm in the right area. Only new too Drupal. Drupal is looking like its core along with gmap is going to meet my needs perfectly.

I do have a small bit of external data to integrate however and am not sure how to do it. It involves taking product information from SAP. Its basically information around my companys products. I would like to take all the product info (about 600 products) from SAP (or wherever really, fact is it's an external datasource to drupal) every 24 hours and somehow put it into the drupal system so it is viewable on the site just as if I went in and created it via the add article link in administrator. It need not be editable though as it will be refreshed every 24 hours so not point in editing in the drupal cms, but I want this information on the site.

Due to other commitments, I must have IIS running on my computer under Windows 7.

I am not sure if I should install Drupal under WIMP or WAMP.

I have heard there are some compatibility issues to try to having IIS and Apache running simultaneously on the same computer. Can anyone shed more light on the problem or advise me as to the best environment for doing development in Drupal (this will be a demo machine but not the production environment).

Thanks for any assistance.

I'm just new, recommended Drupal to my company in a 3000 word proposal document for our new cms driven website. My ass is grass if Drupal doesn't work out for me, I'm liking what I see so far though.

Hello!!

I am in need of suggestions and possibilities for the following scenario :

- I have a drupal site where my Flickr sets are displayed. The visitors to my site as well as my website logged-in users views those Flickr slide-shows.

Hey,

I'm transitioning a site from Wordpress to Drupal 7.

For my Drupal 7 website I want to have basic pages about:

-people (e.g., Scientist 1)
-subjects (e.g., Science Subject 1)
-our organization (e.g., our projects, contact us, about us)
-news/announcements/events
-activism
-audio files
-video files

There will also be multiple blogs and a forum.

I'm thinking ahead about how to structure the site (the menus, the layout, the organization, the hierarchies, etc.).

Now, say I wanted a page about 'Scientist 1', and on that page I wanted to be able to display:
-all content tagged with 'Scientist 1 by date'
-all content tagged with 'Scientist 1' broken down by subject (e.g., List all content tagged with 'Scientist 1' and 'Science subject 1', then list all contest tagged with 'Scientist 1' and 'Science subject 2', and so forth)
-all articles tagged with 'Scientist 1'
-all forum posts tagged with 'Scientist 1'
-all blog posts tagged with 'Scientist 1'
-all audio files tagged with 'Scientist 1'
-all video files tagged with 'Scientist 1'
-all links tagged with 'Scientist 1'
-etc

And then I would want a page about 'Science Subject 1', and so forth, with comparable content listed on its page.

I am no stranger to installing php sites, but this one is kicking me.
This is my third domain using godaddy deluxe shared hosting.

Carefully followed the instructions... repeatedly...
Burned through a few fresh databases, and even replaced all the files on the server.
Did all the tricks in the default folder.

But, after giving the database details, I get this error.
It seems to be unique, since google found not one hit.
