Before you start

I currentky have Drupal installed at http://www.mysite.com/drupal-4.7.3, but i want to change that to http://www.mysite.com/drupal.

I'm going to backup my site before i do this!

However is there anything that i should be expecting.... I am think about simply renaming the folder.....

Any better Ideas... Should I even do this....

Kind Regards

Mr D Nova :P

I am creating a simple company website and have considered using drupal. Basically, the site will have an "About" section, "Locations" section, "Contact" section, and possibly "Jobs" section. The site is very simple so there is no need for users to log in with exception to the site administrators so that information can be updated from time to time. Is there a way to remove the username and password boxes from the installation but have them only accessable for the site administrators?

Okey, I am fairly sure that the answer to most of these questions is yes but i don't know the best moduless etc...

First the type of site is social network shopping.

Things I would like to see.

1. People can upload photos of themselves
2. People can vote on photos 1-10 score
3. people can easily find other people with similer fashion tastes and add to a buddy list
4. Some sort of livechat functionality with this buddy list or at least PM system or a chatroom setup.
5. People can vote on stores listed in a giant directory of stores (they can also submit stores to be ok'd by an Admin). I would prefer a quick did style vote system rather than a 1-5 voting system for this bit.
6. People can submit reviews of stores (people can vote on how good these reviews are)
People can Submit info on sales currently on about town... it would be nice if there was a quick dig stlye vote system for this as well
7. Strong Forum system is a must

Now for the harder things
1. Intergration with a mapping system so that it can bring up a map of where the store is located.
2. A referal number for sign-ups... I want to take about the town photos of people and give them a card with a sign-up number when they sign up they enter a number and thier photo becomes part of thier profile auto-magicly

The photos uploaded need to be able to be attached to part of thier profile.

Anyway I Hope you guys can help me out and give me a head start on all this :-D

Hi I'm new to Drupal, though i've worked extensively before with other CMSs, like Vignette, but as of lately I used a lot Plone.

Right now I want to deploy a site with a series of features, including Forums and Newsletter, and the problem with Plone is that these functionalities are in external products that are not usually very stable or very well integrated with the site. So I checked Dragonfly CMS and it looked ok, but the problem is that is a one-man effort, the last release is from Feb 2005 and it's a mix of phpNuke and phpBB, and my experiences in these cases is that these kind of projects tend to get behind from their original sources. A mix of phpNuke and phpBB could be ok, but haven't seen an easy way to integrate these.

So far Drupal seems to be the best candidate, from what I've read on the functionalites page. Let me explain my requirements and ask some questions:

* The site will be mainly about articles, basically like a magazine (check!)

* Also will have forums (check!)

* Ideally each new article should spawn a thread for that article in a folder within the forums, as opposed to say comments in the article page, as to keep all the community discussion in the same place (because there will be a few authors of articles, but many community members that can discuss in the forums, and the forums will have many topics, one of them being "commentaries about the articles"). Can I do this in Drupal? (this is not critical, since we can do this by hand in any case, but would be nice to have).

Hello,

again, I´m a newbie, evaluating drupal for my content community and have found solutions for most of my requirements so far.

There is one more thing I´m trying to do and that is implementing a Question - Answer, Request - Reply use case, which requires related nodes (something similar to user reviews).
But I want to use a CCK node type for the answer/reply, which can also be created independent of the question.

Does anyone know how I can do that?

Thanks so much

Jochen

I´m currently evaluating if I can use drupal for my community content website.
One of the core features I envision to implement to provide a great user navigation is multi-facetted drill-down.
Similar to what is described in http://www.lullabot.com/articles/drill_down_system
or what amazon.com is doing.
