Ok, so I am setting up a harm minimisation/health site that provides (at least) these three services
1. Track usage - allow drug-users to record their drug usage and then display the recorded data per user, plus sum it across all users
2. Blog - account holders can blog on any topic
3. Forum - to discuss variety of health/usage topics.
Now I've installed blogs, set up auto-assign roles, I am using Drupal 7.9, but I am having difficulty with the first option. In this sites previous incarnation, I had a simple html page that pushed to mysql, but I am not sure how to repeat that in this setting? First I tried CCK, installed calendar pop-ups...then I moved to Webforms, but am having difficulty making this ...simple...which it needs to be, for people to use it.
I have Flex experience, and I've seen a bit on Flash/Drupal integration. Would it be a nightmare to go down that path?
The type of data I wish to record (and data-type in parentheses): date/time used (date), what used (list), cost(decimal), rating(list), Notes (textarea). more questions will be added over time to assist with particular data gatehring needs (e.g. clean equipment used - boolean).
So atm I am looking for general notes - should I have stuck with D6/should I not use Drupal/should I build a front Flex page and link to Drupal behind it....
