General discussion

This is a newbie question, trying to figure out whether Drupal can do what I want it to do. I am designing a site with an event calendar, want ads, etc. for a set of teams. I want each team to have a devoted page and on that page show the events, want ads that are relevant for that team only. Can I use Drupal to combine these functional "islands" that are individually filterable based on the team that is being displayed.

Thanks!

Hello,
i'm new to drupal and i wonder what is the best practice for placing urls in
my html-nodes referring to other internal node-objects ?
I'm using taxonomy, clean urls and pathauto, so all my created nodes
have well defined urls based on their taxonomy-categories and their title. (pathauto-setting: [catpath]/[title])

I see the following ways:
1) <a href=/drupal/node/[number]>...</a>
This is on the one hand nice because the number of the node will never change, when
i modify the content of the node. On the other hand the urls looks "ugly", if i
load it to my browser. I want clean urls on my browsers url-display.
2) <a href=/drupal/[catpath]/[title]>...</a>
Ok now i have clean urls, but if someboy decides to rename the title of the node or even change the
category-hierarchy or category-names, my url on all nodes which refers to the modified node will be
broken. I know that the url-path is kept first but if somebody renames the title or hierarchy i would like to
change the url-path too. (Think of the "Bulk update node paths"-Feature of the auto-path module which i
intend to use periodically)

So what i really need is a combination of 1) + 2)
A kind of special urltag for internal links. For example: <mylink href=node/[number]>...</mylink>
The urltag has to be rewritten before loading the page by drupal to: <a ref=/drupal/[catpath]/[title]>...</a>,

Hello,

I have the following issue. I am trying to add a content to my website everyday and about a month ago, I also started to use taxonomy module to sort the articles and from that moment, Google is indexing less and less pages. It also takes out a page out every day.

Any advice?

I just added Organic Group functionality to my site. The biggest use at the momment is a private group. The majority of the content of the site is public, but members of that group can select to post that content to the group only. I have OG set so that the Public box is checked by default.

From where I could find more about drupal?

The Drupal site i'm making, without doubt, will have 10,000 users in a very short time and the market potential is huge. I expect to have at least minimum 50 users loged in durring evening peak times. What should i be planning/preparing for? I'm assuming i need to get a dedicated server to handle all of this, but i hate to put up the money if it's only going to be 10k users--yes i'm cheep (could google ad revenue cover this you think? sorry not very experienced with it and i want this to be free for my users too).
