Before you start

I am looking at developing a website for a local modelling agency.

They would like to have several categories for their models e.g. female, male, child, catwalk etc etc and have a list of models appear in each section which would be clickable to view their individual profile including images.

Is this possible?

Also some of the models would appear in two categories e.g. male and catwalk. Would this be an issue?

Hi,

I'm a noob looking to put up a cms with the CiviCRM capabilities and wonder if i should wait for the stable release of Drupal 5.0 as i hear that it is much easier to install the CiviCRM module on this version? If i go ahead and install the Drupal 5.0 beta with the CiviCRM now, will i be able to upgrade to the stable version when it's released? And is there documentation available on the 5.0 beta now?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Will Drupal 5.x have the same problems running on GoDaddy.com, requiring the ability to lock the mySQL database, a permission that GoDaddy won't enable?

Hi,

We're looking at Drupal for our community site but we're wondering if Drupal can be modified to fit our needs.

Our site is a mentoring / coaching site. We'll have 2 major user groups: Mentors and Students.

As admins, we'd like to be able to assign single students to single mentors. Mentors can have multiple students assigned to him / her but students will only be with one mentor.

What does this mean? Well as mentors and students have their mentoring sessions over the phone, the mentor can open a feedback interface to submit student evaluation using fields that we currently have set up in a web form. Instead of this info going to an email address, though, we'd like it saved to the website's database where it can be viewed by the mentor again, and the student he selected to write it for. Only those two users, and the admin of course, may view the feedback submitted. We'd also like to give students and teachers the chance to "comment" on this feedback, like a running thread in a forum.

This feedback should be searchable, too.

Student users should also be able to write journals for their mentors to read and comment on. These journals will only be viewable by the mentor and the student.

That's it. We'd just like something to help us with this kind of private communication between the mentors and the students assigned to them.

I realize that something like this doesn't exist right now, but before we bank on using Drupal, I'd like some opinions about how possible this is. Some names of some competent developers would be appreciated, too.

I have been looking around for a good LAMP platform which can handle user forms.

Hello to all,
I created a CMS (PHP Oracle) using another open source CMS, but I must change the system, it does not work with Oracle, several modules don't work, too many crashes and so on (in the documentation there is written full support!)
We need a CMS that support Oracle and so I'm cheking Drupal.
I need the basic functionality: event calendar, forum, download and links manager (the registered users can upload files,web-links and the admin can publish the files and links, to everybody)
Can drupal be useful for me?
Thanks

David
