Is drupal able to assign a node to a user ?

Hello,

I am considering drupal for a project with following features :

I need two content types : A supplier content type and a client content type.

I want my clients to be able to follow the progress of their orders (each order will be a node)
And my suppliers will have access to their invoices/documents etc.. (nodes as well)

Any ideas on how to achieve this ?

Example :
Client Alpha will have access to node/34 and node/46 only.

Supplier Beta will have access to node/38 and node/50 and their attached files only
And so on ...

Fancy 'digital' store with drupal

Hi,
For our website we want to build a 'template store' (for HTML websites). The idea is to have an overview (with paging) of images, each image represents a website-template, below the image we want the following links: Buy | More info | Tip friend. When clicking buy, a form has to be filled in with the template details and email with details and customer information has te be sent.

This all has to be easily manageble, and adding or deleting 'templates' must be made easy.

Drupal 7 for multilanguage site. Any good examples/experience

Is it possible to create a multi-language site with Drupal 7? Faced an issues with Internationalization and Views for some simple tasks (show taxonomy translations, for example). Had same issues a year ago and during this time nothing changed.

Please, correct me if a am wrong. Maybe i am just doing something wrong and there are working examples of multi-language sites on Drupal 7..

Help Fully Understanding Custom Layouts/Views

Dear Drupal Community,
My question has to do with creating fully customized views in Drupal.

A tiny bit about my background...

I've been developing sites for some time now using Joomla along with the Seblod CCK. This has allowed me to push Joomla to new limits. My problem is, Seblod is "added on top" of the Joomla core, and that creates some coding messes. Also, Seblod does not have native support for Ajax and full URL control.

I've also been developing sites using PHP frameworks (Yii and CodeIgniter). These are really nice, but I find I often have to repeat very basic set-up steps over and over again for each project.

The sites I build always need custom fields, so Drupal's "Field" module seems perfect! I like that "Fields" is integrated into Drupal core. And I like what I have read about how solid Drupal is for scaling sites up.

Generally, I do NOT like "themes" and "templates." As much as possible, I like to just start with a clean canvas and build my layouts with PHP, CSS, and JS. With Seblod, I am able to do this, making calls to the Seblod fields in my templates. I am also able to do this using PHP frameworks.

Different database on dev and production?

I run a small website, for mountain biking, not a real business (only drives ~1000 visitors a day, not really a volume site). Anyway, it is built on late 90's technology ASP (pre-.net) and I want to update it to a site with a CMS behind it. We will probably be using Drupal for my work site, so I thought this could be a good opportunity to actually learn the new system by converting my site over first.

My hoster is 1&1 and I have a windows hosting package, I am very technical but not a DB admin, way over my head in that area. The DB is MS SQLserver which is fine, but I expect that I will be doing a lot of editing of the site on planes because I spend a huge amount of time on international flights (nothing like 12 hours to get caught up on creating new content.)

Here's the challenge: I have Drupal set up on a local machine and everything seems to be working, I can create content. But, that was set up with SQLlite because I don't have MS SQL server on my home system. I tried to FTP my working files over to the hosted server, just to see if I could actually read the PHP, but when I do that I get:

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
