Drupal 7.x

Hello all.

I am about to start making a new website, which I want to have a long-life evolution aspect, and I would like to make it in drupal 7.
I was expecting version 7 to be ready by now, and I can't delay much longer to begin building the site. My concern is that core is in alpha2 from February 24 and most top module(lets say top 20) are either on dev state or not even that.

is there any way to geo tag an rss feed based on the vocabulary of a blog post... to extract terms or names of places in an rss feed and reference those words to geographical locations on google maps. is this possible??

Hi! I am considering using Drupal for a blog and want to know if it can do the format I am considering.

I would like to have two independent columns of blog entries: one which is updated weekly, and one which is updated daily.

I see various questions here about two-column formats, but so far haven't found something that explains how to do this particular implementation. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am about to enter the coding phase of a social dictionary application (yes, another one!) and believe that drupal will serve as a good foundation to build on. At first I considered CodeIgniter to reduce overhead and keep things within the domain of my current coding skills, but since I will need features such as:

- user/role system
- commenting on various content types
- forums (again, links to other content types)
- support for RDF (!)
- multi-lingual interface
(edit: to clarify the context - some features relate to way the dict.cc handles content)

which drupal would provide out of the box, I shifted towards making the commitment of learning the drupal ways and modifying whats there rather than spend that time on the rebuilding of core functionality.

The ETA for open beta is August/September this year. This leads me to the question of wether it would be viable to already use dp7 for getting familiar with Drupal intestines.

Hi all,

Thanks for reading. I am about to start a project with a group of students. I feel the key for our success is to select the right tool with the right flexibility to avoid hitting a wall down the road. We all have some PHP knowledge, but we're wondering whether Drupal is the most adequate tool or better alternatives exist. I really want the flexibility, because if successful, this project could be adopted by the university and enhanced over the years.

So here is an overview of what we plan to do:

1- The idea is to create a collaboration space, where university students have accounts and can publish research articles (ideally with a WISIWIG editor). By default articles are in draft and only visible by the author(s) until published.
2- Articles are assigned a categories
3- Articles can be searched by title and/or category.
4- Collaboration
a- authors can request any other users to help by providing ad-hoc write privileges to an article.
b- Users should have the ability to search, rate articles and add comment to articles (like a forum).
5- Users have a personal space with their details and ability to exchange messages.

Trying to create a menu similar to this websites main menu http://www.basilmarket.com/

dynamic persistent menu? How would I get one menu item and it children show on load up without clicking on it like this one?

Embedded taxonomy ?

Any other ideas or methods?
