Hello Drupal Community,
I'm turning to the forum to see if my website idea is feasible on Drupal, or if another platform would be more appropriate.
After logging in, users would use the site to enter about 8 pieces of information for each event (mostly selection from lists / radio boxes, at most one text field).
Aside from maybe an anonymized teaser "There are the last X events entered by our users" blurb on the home page, the events are not to be displayed / published. What will be displayed from the user's point of view, within each user's page, is statistical data about all the events they've entered, pie or bar graphs generated from said data, possibly a way for a user to query their and/or the entire community's aggregate data for comparison purpose.
I'm no web expert for sure, but knowing a bit of php, mysql and html, I handwrote a couple webpages:
- entering event data
- stats and graphs generated by a chart API using above data
- listing event data (mostly to debug, "see" data visually to make sure the line/bar graphs generated are correct)
I'm satisfied with how this single-user proof-of-concept currently works. I'm hoping Drupal is the right platform on which to transition to a more realistic, secure many-users site, because I certainly do not want to tackle user logging, security, css that won't break on various browsers, etc...
