Before you start

Hi everyone,

Would it be possible to use an existing module to basically turn Drupal into an Upload Server? something similar to yousendit.com where you can upload files and send them to other people, etc'?

Cheers

Hi all,

I've been working in the past with Joomla, Wordpress and ModXcms and have decided to give Drupal a go, as I need a bit more flexibility. The project I thought I'd start with is a web site for my local running group. I'll explain what I need the website to do, in the hope that I can get some verification that it can be achieved with Drupal, and hopefully some broad pointers to modules or techniques which might help.

- The website will have a few pages of public content -- basically information about the next run and some general information. The rest of the content (previous runs, photographs etc) will be for members only.

- Some members will be allowed to post content (Editors). Most will just need to read it.

- All members will be able to upload photos of the runs to photo-albums.

- Communication from the site is via a newsletter sent out before and after every run. Users of the site need to be able to select whether or not they receive this.

- Details of how many runs each person has done need to be collected and displayed on a single page. Certain members can edit this page and increment the run total for each runner after each run. Hopefully by clicking a + button, or clicking a checkbox.

So most of this seems to rely on assigning permissions to users. I've seen a module called ACL which looks as though it might do the job.

If you quickly want to compare some modules for their popularity, I have a hint for you:

0) Install a web browser plugin which can manipulate HTML tables, i.e. TableTools2 for Firefox.
1) Go to http://drupal.org/project/usage/
2) Right click the table header row. In the upcoming context menu select: TableTools > Filter > Search filter.
3) Enter "module1|module2|commonTermInSomeModules|…", and you will get a selective ranking, only showing your modules of interest.

Hello,

I've been trying different combinations of Drupal (6 and 7) and modules and I'm still looking for the best solution for my project. I guess Drupal should be the best CMS for that, but I'm not sure about the way to do it.

I want to let users register and create a profile for free, that they can easily update if logged in.

For all users (even those who are not logged in), I want to offer a faceted search upon profiles that lead to all but one information : the username.

I wish I could sell both access to this username and the ability to contact the selected user through private message. The best would be to set 2 options : selling username per username AND subscription giving free access to all usernames for a period of time.

Can anyone more advanced on Drupal website developing give me a hint about how to do that ?

Hi,
I am trying to meet the basic requierements that are listed in the instalation guide. Is there any source where someone explains in detail how to do that? I am completly new to all this and I have a really hard time setting this up. I have downloaded all necessary parts so I'm ready to go. The biggest headache gives me the appachi and MySQL how do those correlate? Do I just install each of them seperatly? How do I install the appachi server? I can't really find an icon that says install or similar.
Thank you for your advices!

Hi there

new to Drupal and this forum so apologies if this is posted in wrong area. I have a client who requires me to setup a user login where people can fill in a form which contains information from their cv.

The client then wants their employees to be able to log into back end and search the database for people with a specific skillset and then bring up a list of users who match.

They then want to be able to email the users inforamtion to a potential employer.
