Before you start

Hi all! I've been making websites in wordpress for about 2 years now and have been scared to climb the drupal learning curve but it may be time. My next project is developing a coupon site similar to this one (http://bit.ly/pLbkR6). I started to write it in wordpress, but I was feeling its limitations. Would Drupal be a good fit for this type of site?

If so, how would you recommend I get a quick start. For example, are there templates or modules that would be helpful?

I was thinking about starting with Drupal Commerce Kickstart. The site doesn't need real ecommerce features (not cart, no shipping, no money, etc.) but does need some type of product gallery tool (not just an image gallery - unless it is a really advanced one). Do you think Drupal Commerce would help or is it overkill? Can it easily produce a "product" gallery like the site above? Or is there a more pure product gallery type tool? Key features would be having a page that displays products based on categories/tags in multiple squares across the screen. Each square would have an image and text and links out that would go to a details page. And it should look pretty. That's basically it.

I'm moderately familiar with WordPress and many years ago used Mambo and Joomla (around the split) to create a couple sites. I'm now working on a rather large site for a client and don't think WP is going to cut it. I need a robust store, about 150 pages of content, a retailer locator with zip code input resulting in a map of local locations, etc. Does it sound like Drupal would be my best fit? I know an ASP .NET developer who could do this instead if that's a better fit, but figure Drupal may be the best bet.

Hi all! General Question on Drupal -

Can you share the drupal cms with multiple websites that share the same content.

Example: client has 2 websites. 1 has more product range than the other, but both share the same product range and pricing e.t.c?

PS - tried searching the current info but couldn't find any :( Please point me in the right direction if this information has already been posted up. Cheers!

I run a service company and frequently get Purchase Orders I asked a colleague if he could recommend an addon for Drupal so I could enter enter the purchase orders and when the job is complete these could be marked as invoiced.

Ideally I would like to enter a few more details and I have a vision of something like this:

Raise Job - Click this pops up a box with some text boxes, for example

Hello all,

I've been using Drupal for years and have a client who has touch screen kiosks for his residence. He wants it so that visitors can use the touch screen to look up residence and call them from it. Can Drupal interface with a phone system to do this? I can create the resident directory very easily but am not sure how it would work with the phone system.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'd like to hear your suggestion for best practice...

A friend of mine has a website which is not made with drupal.

We would like to create a new drupal site on the same domainname and create a subdomain as well.

Until the new site is ready the old one must stay online.

Can I upload drupal to the existing domain and start there or should I do it differently?

Regards

Mark
