Before you start

My question is exactly the same as the one posted in 2007 here: http://bit.ly/pzLCU2
-------------------------------
I'm about to build a site based on Drupal. This site will have users that will be authors who submit NOT publish articles/content on the site. Editors (super admin) will be the ones to publish the content. The hierarchy will look something like this:

I'm looking to create a website for the cinema that I manage.

I'm deciding if Drupal will be right for my site.

What I really want is for my customers to be able to create accounts, and then link to movies they are interested in seeing. (So I can see how many are interested in a particular movie/email them when the movie arrives)

Hi there

I'm a newbie to Drupal and am considering moving our site over, but the decision maker/breaker will be how easy it is to migrate our secure "client area" pages. I've looked at some of the modules available in Drupal but couldn't see anything that did exactly what I wanted, maybe because the functionality is covered across several modules or is delivered as standard?

If somebody with more experience could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

This is what the client area does:

I've been working on trying to get Drupal to be a web version of Filemaker Pro and since I'm new to Drupal, I don't need to explain that I'm having lots of difficulty understanding the framework enough to adapt it to my needs.

I'm just curious if anyone can point me to completed, functioning examples of what an end result may look like...what others have done...so I may at least feel like I'm on the right track.

I've been using many other blogging CMS platforms before I came across Drupal more recently. I am curious as to what exactly Drupal has to offer out of box. Is Drupal's CMS capable of publishing Articles without modules and how does it differentiate itself from things like WordPress?

I'm just curious as to if I can do everything I need for a publishing site with Drupal out of box without modification.

Thanks and can't wait to work on it.

Hi All,

I'm looking to start up a new project. Hobby stuff but I'd like it to work as well as possible. I'm trying to work out if Drupal is the right platform for me to develop on (and if so what version).

First my experience
HTML & CSS - Strong
SQL - Weak, however pretty good knowledge of complex databases from a none-coding POV.
PHP - None at all.
I've installed and run basic wordpress & joomla sites, just themed blog essentially.

The site I want to build
A site where users can submit forecasts on football matches and once the result was known be marked up or down depending on whether their predictions were successful.

So the site would need
A data table for upcoming matches added to by the admin only - shown to the users

A related data table for forecasts that joined to the matches table to log forecasts against upcoming matches. This would be added to by users submitting their own predictions. Each time a new match was added to the match table the users would have the option to submit guesses.

Once the match was run, the result to be added by the admin (probably to the original matches table) and the users to have updates run against their profiles to score them depending on whether their prediction was successful.
