Before you start

Hey everyone,

So this is what I'm looking to do, and wondering if someone can point me in the right direction of modules I'm going to need.

Just want to create a database that contains information for varies animals. Lets just say like color, weight, breed, etc.

I would like to have two different permission levels of search. A admin, and user. I would like a more advanced search that they can select different criterias and have it pull up the records. Its been a while since I've used drupal so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi, I am considering using Drupal for my school's corporate document repository. Actually we need a single place to store all versions of documents that we write (like policies and handbooks) and I found Drupal has a great extension that does this.

However the second major requirement is a decent ACL where by I can give a top category/menu a set of permissions (which will be locked) so that when users create pages under this category/menu (such as meeting minutes, or staff review documents) the sub-pages will inherit the same permissions of the category/menu item.

Hi there - I am extreemly new to Drupal - but I have just a few questions before I invest time in to learning Drupal by asking these question:

Hello,

I'm currently looking in to moving a massive site to Drupal.

It consists of 18,000 static pages; split 6 ways and totals around 180 microsites - all on the same template/branding where the navigation shown is for the respective microsite and there's tabs at the top for each of the 6 main sections.

We're still trying to get our heads around Drupal and how this would work.

I assume that each microsite would be a book? I'm not quite sure how the books/taxonomy thing works.

I noticed a lot of Drupal templates use three columns. I plan on developing a two-column site, but would like to have an optional right hand box on some pages. I know I could use three coloumns to do this, but then the text would not wrap around the box (see http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/programs/environment-most-aboutmost-685.htm and for an example of what I want).

Hi guys. I am building a huge database for cars with full details. Following are the front end structure that will look like in the end.

Car Brand (20 brands)
>Car model
>>Types of model per engine size or option
>>>car per year (actual content in nodes) ex: [Audi A1 3.2L (2008 - 2011)]

I am little confuse with two ideas and need advise which one i should pursue in taxonomy as a best and safe practice. As this will end up having 1000 cars details in future.
