Before you start

Hello, I'm a total newbie when it comes to CMS's. I've got a function I have a feeling Drupal can do or be able to do with some work, but I'm not positive about it. It would be great if you could point me in the right direction for developing this for my website.

about half the site is generating MYSQL errors what's up?

this makes me worry about drupal reliability for my site

Fatal error: Got error 28 from table handler query: SELECT i.*, f.title AS ftitle, f.link AS flink FROM aggregator_item i INNER JOIN aggregator_feed f ON i.fid = f.fid ORDER BY i.timestamp DESC, i.iid DESC LIMIT 0, 20 in /home/www/drupal.org/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 73

I have recently found out that the manufacturing company I work for is considering expanding it's web presence and it's customer relations by offering our customers a way to check on their projects, here in our shop, via the internet.

Since I went and opened my mouth I get to do the research. What I am looking for is a way for our customers to log in and be restricted to just their project information and nothing else. The only information that will need to be available are current/realtime photos and current project notes.

Greetings, currently in planifying my website, it seems that the choice of the CMS I'll use will be either Mambo, Drupal or another very good CMS for my website project. I wondered if you could help me figure out if Drupal allows to make the website I need (i.e. has all the features or plugins) better than Mambo.

First thing my website would be a website that'll be continuously constructed, and will at some point most certainly reach tens of thousands of pages, without counting the forums. The website will have about ten sections (including a General one) to start with, each with a different number of categories. First thing: I need to be able to add Sections and Categories easily if needed, and play with them. Now each section (apart the General one) will have a kind of "selective encyclopedia" (meaning per example in the "Movies" section the purpose is not to have all movies listed, but some that have certain caracteristics) with each page allowing user comments and voting (for now those are the only features I envision), and an articles part (made by either staff, or by users then visioned by staff before published). Note that some encyclopedia pages or articles MUST be able to be placed in different categories and sometimes sections at the same time. I would also DIE if I didn't have a correct search function, should allow to search a full list of all articles and all sections and categories and be able if possible to show kind of "Section: Category: Type: Article/File/etc".

I've been playing around with Drupal for the last couple of hours and it's seems a like a pretty cool system, but I also have my doubts.

I've been looking for a good system for a couple of weeks now and I've been playing around with koobi (www.dream4.de), mambo (www.mamboserver) and now drupal.

I understand that my requirements are quite high and elaborate, but I'm just looking for a system that will get me 80% there. If I have to programm the rest myself, then that's fine by me.

Anyway I'm looking for the following CMS system with the following Features:

User:

• User must be able to stay logged in. Even when browser closes
• Profile page should support custom fields
• Users should be able to upload personal avatars
• Users should be able to get a listing of their own posts

commenting:

• support for anonymous and authenticated commenting
• Support for use of either UBB codes or restricted HTML
• support for quoting and smilies

Lists / Directory building:
My current website has an extensive listing of Clubs and bars in Barcelona. Every club has a certain amount of standard information like description, musicstyle, area, address, zip code, etc. Users are also allowed to post their opinion about a certain venue.
The problem with CMs's I've seen so far, is that this kind of information is difficult to categorize. The information is not a blogpost or a story. Nor is an article. It's resume of a venue.

I am currently working with a company website that uses Cold Fusion for its systems. I was reading on various CMS's and Drupal seemed to be the one that offered the best features and management I want for new sites I want to develop as part of a project for the company. The only problem is that the technical director needs to have Cold Fusion, because its what we use.

Is it possible to use Cold Fusion and Drupal together? Perhaps Drupal could be used to generate the basics of the site, but call in Cold Fusion elements on pages (Calling them from the nodes)?
