General discussion

Been reading this book, "Building Social Web Applications" by Gavin Bell, O'Reilly publications, so far from reading chapters 1 - 3, I believe I understand that creating/maintaining my own website involves a number of things, among which are key questions (for want of a better way of putting this, perhaps):

building social web applications

and from this book, I've learned:

--what type of site do I want?

A: a message board;

--who's my audience?

A: users of Adobe/3D modeling/PC game creation/adventure gaming application/computers/networks, software,

--am I encouraging new social relationships or supporting existing ones?

A: supporting existing relationships.

--what types of social content will my site cater to?

A: Adventure/other gaming/creating movies/photos/graphic novels/computer/networking repair/upgrading/hardware and the discussion of these subjects,

--any special interest board?

A: Yes, a special forum devoted to Christianity/how these other interests are centered around Christianity (since my website will be centered around Christianity/the Church, as virtually all the adventure gaming message boards i currently belong to do not allow discussions pertaining to Christianity/the Church.

I am an experienced asp.net developer and have used several CMS - DNN, MojoPortal, Ektron CMS400.
I was involved in maintaining the code for an asp CMS so I have thorough understanding on what CMS are.
I would like to jump onto the Drupal wagon and I am looking for recommendation for books that are beyond the basics.
I am reading the reviews on the Definite guide - they are mixed so I am looking for additional books
Thanks in advance for sharing your ideas

hello,

I have a multilingual site in D7.18 and I try to make a mod in the page.tpl.php template (I have no choice) : I need to set a condition on the language of the page.

My theme is derived from Zen.

for my if () condition, I need to know the name of this variable to use it as a criteria

For last few days, I have been playing with Boost and have found an interesting correlation with SEO.

when i search for "organic groups" and tick "modules" this project doesn't show up
