General discussion

I’m making a fairly simple webpage as a graduation thesis. The problem is, that I don’t know whether I should choose a CMS, a framework or to program everything from scratch in PHP.

The site will be a database for video game music concerts. Anyone can add and edit concerts. This is the site’s structure in a nutshell.

Home Page
- Search bar
- Advanced search -button
- Add new concert -button

Advanced search page
- The following criteria can be specified in the advanced search:
—- date, country, city, artist, which game etc.

Add new concert page
- The above mentioned things can be added

Concert page
- The above mentioned things are visible
- Edit concert -button

Edit concert page
- Information can be edited and saved
- Revert changes -button/list
- Delete concert -button

I’m not sure yet what users will have rights to add, edit and delete concerts. This site will be a subdomain and I was thinking that users will register in the main domain. That way I will only need a login-box.

I’m quite the beginner and I’m trying my best to investigate different options. From school I have some experience in PHP, MySQL, WordPress and Drupal. But I have never used a framework before. These are the answers and thoughts I’ve received from other people:

1) With WordPress it’s difficult to make a user-contributed webpage. It will become slow and unreliable.

A few years ago I spent a long time time setting up a social networking site. I put together all the info I gathered in a comprehensive ebook and I got a lot of good feedback from that.

I am looking for a new way to help some drupal users and I was wondering if there is anything you would like to see documented better or explained in a full on tutorial?

Ideas are: social networking site, ebook store,...

What are your ideas? What is missing?

I am somewhat new to Drupal. I am looking for something that is close to this example for a photo module:

Is there something out there? What other modules would I need to load and activate within the administrative panel? Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody

I'm brand new to Drupal and I think that it is great.

However, there is one very major caveat, dare I say even a mistake, in the whole set up and it is this :

Why on Earth did you guys force the home page to be the natural (only) place for articles to be posted to instead of giving the developer the choice to place them where they want?

I was logged in as the Admin and I was in the user menu/the Rules section and I added % as a rules click saved now my entire site is down and I cannot login in anymore. Getting message "Sorry, xxx.xx.xxx.xxx has been banned". Please advice ? I was try to figure out a way to block spammer but at the point i need to resolve the banned issue
