General discussion

I want to create a dating site like MySpace, where users have a lot of control over configuring their homepage. Does Drupal have a module, or set of modules, that will allow this kind of functionality?

This is one of those "awright, now I've seen Drupal..." kind of posts. (Everyone gets at least one.)

I am working on creating a "plug and play" method of using Drupal as a purely backend CMS. To do this I am using a method developed with Farsheed, which can be seen here: http://drupal.org/node/44795#comment-98896. With this we can dynamically load content from any node's body into specified divs on a purely html, non-drupal page, allowing for complete control over it's layout and design. Why would I want to do this? Because I have no interest, use, or need for templates. For this site, I do not need to make new pages or have Drupal control the layout of my site, all I want to do is have Drupal control my content... nothing else. The goal is to have a site in which one person can log in through a back-end page and edit or add to pre-existing content, such as a journal, photo album, or a news log. They will not be creating new content that will be viewed in the site, only editing the pre-existing content sections. By using this node loading method we can, theoretically, create a site with different divs that are linked to different nodes and automatically load their content. Using this in a layered design, in which there are node-content-loading-divs within node-content-loading-divs, we can create an entire site that is both single-interfaced but its content is completely controlled via a backend Drupal installation. This image, which I created to map out my thoughts, might help explain a little bit more what my intentions are: http://tgillees.com/website_drupal(instructions).jpg

Just wanted to thank all who worked on the 4.6.6 drupal.

Thank you :)

I'm trying to grab the node owner's profile information within the node ( blog, story , page , flexinode ).
I tried moding the code in http://drupal.org/node/23375 but I havn't gotten anywhere .
Anyone know how to get this working ?

I would like to have a site with multiple sections similar to the "front page". Like how a user with permissions can create content and have it promoted to the front page. Then another user creates content and it also can be promoted to the front page. However, say I want to have a "news" page. I want a user to be able to create a news article and then have that article promoted to the 'news' page, so that I have a collection of news articles on that one page.
