We're building a Drupal site, and need to find an outside, API-accessible database that we can use to host calendar and scheduling data.
We need to host it externally because it needs to be compatible with a wide number of applications (e.g., Outlook, and data systems at a different organization). However, some of the data will be used within Drupal (for a public calendar); we can pull this in through various PHP-based APIs.
I have been looking for a couple hours on how to do build CCK data structures and link them with foreign keys.
Essentially I am learning CCK and views and would like to do something akin to the following:
create a node type called "company"
create other types for "assets" and "manufacturers" and then link via keys in one to many relationships. If the company name changes it does not matter because its related via a key.
I have just installed drupal for the first time on my personal web server so that I can play around with it for abit before using it on a live site.
and I am completely confused about how to go about starting to create a custom theme. I have a long history working with XHTML, CSS and Javascript, and I know basic PHP.
does anyone know of a guide I can use to get myself started? thanks
Think the answer is yes, but just to be sure - is it too late to make feature requests for D7?
If it isn't, where would be the best place to make the suggestion?
I always seem to struggle to wedge my topics into the right forum! =)
