Before you start

I want to be able to insert the userid of the logged in user into an html string to an affiliate program . The idea being that when a registered user clicks on the shopping icon it will put his userid into the html string as the affiliate.
Is this possible? easily?

I'm looking for some sort of CMS system to support an eBusiness idea I have been pondering. I actually started cutting some code, and although the business logic is looking good, I need some form of automation with delivery.

The website will deliver information in the form of text, images and flash animations. This information will come from a MySQL database. The DB will also store information about users, what information they have seen, what they should see next, what options they might like to explore next, and so on. There is no "shopping cart," "forums" or community building in the plan. It's simply a system where people gain access with a username and password, then see the information presented to them. There's not even a requirement for a search option - the business logic and stored database information works out what a given user sees next.

Sorry to be a bit vague - I'm deliberately keeping my idea to myself for the moment. It's not pr0n! :o)

I started writing the business logic in PHP. I got the entry system working and the basic database planned out and functional. Then I started putting some pages together and realised I needed help. I need a mechanism that provides help with the following:

• basic webpages generated automagically from a template of some sort
• menus across the top and down the side that are created dynamically such that new options can appear as I think of them, or as the user wanders to a page where they might be relevant

I was going to log in at CivicSpace to post a couple of questions about their documentation, but although it says affiliated IDs should work, mine does not. Maybe someone from CS can see what's up?

(Also, on the CS login retry page is the line "Enter your CivicSpace username, or an ID from one of our affiliates: Drupal." but the "drupal" link goes to a blank help page.)

I'm embarking on a new project for the National Pork Board that will be known as the PIG Portal.

Required Configuration:

PHP 5.1.1
MS SQL
Drupal 4.6.5

I want to use these tools to develop clients website . Does it supported .Please suggest me a good combination.Clients are asking for php5.1 with MS SQL, is it possible ?

Hello all... I'm am moderately familiar with a few CMS systems, all of which offer a full suite of functions to make content changes more easier for the entire website. What I am searching for is a very simple, light-weight install that will only be used on one page of a small business site (currently only 12 pages).

Hello all!

I am new to Drupal, and I need your suggestion to understand if this great CMS is a good solution for what I need to do.

I work in a network of gaming websites, and I need to setup a CMS to administer them all. These websites are extremely complex in structure (similar to TeamXbox.com, to make an example); they feature news, reviews, and articles.

From what I understand, this can all be done with Drupal. Theoretically, a website like the one I mentioned could be made in Drupal.

Now, I have a few requirements -

1) I need to be able to generate static pages and maintain a complex directory structure. I know this is not available in Drupal, but I need this feature at all costs, so I am ready to write a module, if this is possible. Basically, my websites have this directory strucure

games/game_name/content_type/id

for example, a review for Pacman would be

games/pacman/review/1

I need to generate a static file into this directory, named index.php. Do you think this is doable in Drupal?

1b) Once again about site/network structure. My main websites domains contain only html data (for example reviews, news, articles). I have one dedicated website only for media files (let's say media.mywebsite.com). Do you think a network with this structure can be managed in Drupal?

2) I need to add some backend-only features. I have these already coded as a php scripts, but I need to know if it is possible to add a script to drupal easily. For example, I have a php script made of many classes that lets my cms users download files from a remote server that requires authentication into our server, so that they do not have to first download the stuff on their local machine and then back to our server. Is is possible to implement this kind of functions into Drupal, if you have a php script?
