Before you start

I am looking for a module that can track player's statistics across several events and have a profile for each player.

I tried looking at the tournament module, but it doesn't seem to cover exactly what I need, and all the other league modules that I come across are for Drupal 6/5.

If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Alexander

I hoping to build a web service and wonder if Drupal Web Service module would be the best fit.

The web service would be provide data to users on a;
1. 3rd Party web site
2. Drupal Commerce

I hope to modify Drupal Commerce so that the cart can be able to access the web service.

Can somebody pls point me in the right direction.

Cheers,
Harris

There was a blog post by Varun Arora, "Why we stopped using Drupal for our platform", which had got considerable attention when it was posted in 2013. There are 126 comments so far. The point being made was the Drupal has a lot of complexity, under the hood, and if you want something that is not available "out-of-the-box", in the core or in a well-established module, then you have a very rough and steep learning curve.

I am a new beginner in Drupal and webdevelopment. I want to create a website where users can compare price and looking for offers/deals nearby.

A good example is:

http://upcdeal.us/
http://www.pricegrabber.com/
http://www.scanlife.com/

I am looking at revamping a set of sites from ASP to Drupal. I like a lot of what I see in Drupal, but have two concerns:

1. In reading about Drupalgeddon, it seems that the problem was that many people didn't even see the security notice before hackers started exploiting the vulnerability. I have no staff, so this means I need to be available immediately to install security updates when they are announced. I don't know that I want to be chained to my websites that way, or leave them potentially vulnerable if I decide to go on vacation for a month.

I work at a not-for-profit and we are in the process of a web redesign discovery project. One of our biggest evaluations is a web CRM. We are working with an outside agency to assist in the evaluation and development. Please note that we are java shop. Our biggest struggle is... should we go with an enterprise JAVA CMS or is a custom built Drupal CMS the way to go? Anyone with java use Drupal? How easy is Drupal to maintain? Can we do it on our own once we learn the framework?

This is a major investment for us and we know we will need to live with the one we "marry".
