General discussion

Hey,

I am hoping for some advice if you can spare the time. We are looking for a CMS that allows our client to author their website pages. I have a range of questions in my mind and would love some guidance as to whether Drupal can help.

1. The navigation structure will be a little like this

Home
About
Services
+ Service 1
+ Service 2
+ Service 2.1
+ Service 3
Contact

The level 1 menu items should be across the top and we need a submenu for the children of the current top item selected if possible.

There are 3 levels of depth, but we would not wish to be limited to more if required. We will wish to access all pages except Home using SEF URLs such as

http://domain.com/services
http://domain.com/services/service2/service21

2. Another requirement will be to have portions of the website available which are bespoke. I am very unsure about this part. What I mean by this is let's imagine we want to add a shop. Our developers would write this functionality and deploy it to say

http://domain.com/shop

So the /shop URL we think should not resolve to Drupal? Is that right? And we'd need to render the page with the theme ourselves but separate to Drupal so it did not appear like we were moving away from the Drupal-driven pages. This seems inefficient but we don't understand how to deploy custom PHP development portions of the site alongside Drupal.

I am wondering if there is any way to control the main menu display and access by role.

For instance, I want to add a main menu item called "file download", which can only be viewable/accessible by privileged users, instead of by anonymous users.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, i am using taxonomy_menu and taxonomy_context but they don't get along ;), this is my situation:

Hi,

I'm building an ecommerce website and I have a simple problem.

How displaying 10 images of 10 products with the first sentence of the details for each one, in the front page ?
My goal is : having a little description with an image in the front page and if interested, get the details of the product in a dedicated page with the image you've clicked on and 3 or 4 others images. Like a simple ecommerce site !

Hi all,
isn't there any Acrobat ".pdf" version of Drupal handbook ?

Thanks, bye.

I've spent the best part of three days trying to sort out how to get a rich text editor to run on my client's drupal site.

Whilst Drupal and its support community is excellent, a common problem has been installing and configuring TinyMCE to run.

From incessant browsing of the drupal forums and the support docs, it appears much has been written about issues with TinyMCE - but clear solutions seem sparse.
