General discussion

Okay,

I'm sorting a site out for someone and you know what? After trawling through PHP-Nuke, XOOPS, PHPBB, I installed Drupal from my site's Cpanel...and it seems very much what I'm after.

I'm still getting to grips with everything, however, and there doesn't seem to be a manual ;-).

So, this site will have three main areas:
Current Affairs
Music
Sport
and then General (my misc one!)

So I created an 'Area' Taxonomy and then put those four within it, and now I can put forum postings, stories, etc into one of the four areas.

So far so good, but I don't really understand precisely where the heirachy trees come in. Looking at other sites they have two or more descriptions with each item, and that's good. Ideally I'd want: Releases, Reviews, Gigs, etc. to be attached to Music; but then further it would be good to have 'Post-Rock', 'Experiemental', etc. as more optional additions.

And also Football, Cricket, Tennis, etc. in the sports bit would be a must.

The thing is, I don't know what is good or bad Taxonomy. So, in order to make sure that only One main area is picked but that it if you pick 'review' you still get the heirarchy of 'Music | Review' it seems I need a vocabulary of 'qualifiers' like review, listing, etc. separately?

And then a third vocabulary for stuff like 'post-rock', 'punk' to describe the music. But then this means that you could have 'post-rock' cricket if you wanted, which makes no sense.

Does anyone happen to have a sample node_import csv file to share?
I am planning importing mass data however I am not familiar with creating a csv file. Any help will be appreciated

Hi,

I just joined the Drupal mailing lists. If someone didn't happen to mention the lists in a forum post, I wouldn't have known they existed. They don't seem to be advertised or linked to from the Drupal site?

Also, is it redundant to have both the Drupal site/Forums and the mailing lists? Why not just do everything through the site? Seems like it would be more simple for both people seeking information and for those providing it.

Im interested in creating an official web site, for Greek Drupal users...

Therefor i would like to be able to get some resources from the "main" site (feeds etc, NOT MONEY), in order to be more efficient..

Is this possible?

Thank you for your time..

Hi,

is it possible to have Checkboxes instead of select form in the create story form?
It would be easier to select the taxonomy.

thanks

Hi, I'm wanting to know some of the churches that our there using Drupal. My church is considering using the system and would like to hear any feedback.

I'm also wondering what special modules might be developed that churches could benefit from.
