Before you start

Hello Drupalians.

One of my clients has asked me to create a site for his son's Little League. I've been looking at Drupal and I'm wondering if this project would be a good excuse to learn it (and get paid in the process).

The first iteration of the site would just be for the travel (elite) program, There are about 200 kids in ten teams. Some things they'd like right off the bat would be basic stuff:

I'm learning the basics of Drupal on non-critical web sites whose purposes are not relying on demanding functions or 100% up time. However, I'm thinking of starting on a more serious project that is more important. Since I'm a strong believer in learning-by-doing, and I like what I see of Drupal, I'm tempted to take on this bigger more serious project in Drupal. But I want to know the likely consequences/outcome of this choice.

Hi all,

I understand that Drupal 4.7 has some neat new customizable regions - sounds great! But as I troll the boards here about how you get content into regions, I come up empty. Other people are asking this, but it often goes unanswered - so I'm making a fresh topic about it.

Do you set the content in the admin area? On your page template (PHP-Template)? Using template.php? Do you need custom functions to pull from the database? I'm just getting started with 4.6, and have been frustrated in these regards. Please help a newbie designer out!

Thanks!

I want to make a community website , so that people can make profile ... and later they can edit profiles and add pictures. and can search the profiles of other users , and after that they can add the users to their friends list...please tell me if drupal is suitable for me and which modules i need for this purpose.thank you very much.

Hi all

Im trying to set up a drupal site but i dont know what modules are the best choice to some tasks.... I need:

- forum: no need for advanced features like vbulletin, ipboard or even phpbb, but it needs to *look* like these foruns cause im migrating from ipboard and my users have a hard time learning how to use new interfaces... And i need to setup different permissions for some foruns (like contributors or restricted groups).

I have been grappling with this in "roll your own" mode and was wondering if Drupal has this facility regarding e-commerce.

As an example, my "store" has two categories of products, shirts and pants. The user chooses a pair of pants and a picture appears of a person wearing the pants and shirt. I would like the matching shirt to also be available for purchase on this page just like the selected pants.

More generally, is it possible to have a user selected a product and one or more related products appear for possible purchase, all on the same page?
