Before you start

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?

What does CVS mean and what is it?
