Before you start

Please, which module can i use to develop a hospital management site

Hi folks

I have only recently discovered drupal. I had heard of it but not investigated.

So...I'm planning a new website with some specific needs. I'd like some advice on whether my needs could be met using drupal.

Firstly is the user types. I will have three user types but 1 of these is a 'sub-user', that is, a user managed by one of the other types of user.

1. Private user
2. Business user (& 3. Business Sub-user).

The sub-user would effectively be an employee/agent of a business user. The main business user will be able to add/edit/remove and review the activities of their 'sub-users'. (Provide access to a staff member for the purposes of using the site on behalf of the business user.)
Private users can register themselves via the website, business users will be added by the site admin only.

This brings me the users' accounts.
Private users will have an account into which they can deposit funds in order to make purchases of the sites services.
This would require the typical user 'control panel' where users can view transaction history, current balance etc.
As admin, I would also need to be able to generate accounting type reports of this information for private users.
Private users must have funds in their account in order to purchase services.

I'm planning on making a website, but when I start the website, I don't want it to be not ready. So I want to create the appearances, menus, links, text & structure of the website sometime before I put it online...on a web host server.

Also I'm dead set on using Drupal, so wonder if there is any way for me to do this using Drupal?
I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and planning on using Drupal 7. Thanks.

Love, Drupal, love cck and love views. I've recently begun to ask myself if I made the right decision in making certain content a node. Basically I have one type of node that "contains" a number of custom entries. Each entry contains a name description and number. At first, I implemented the entries as custom fields . . . but then I wanted be able to rate each entry, comment on each entry, and maybe even attach an image to one of the entries, so instead I turned them into nodes. Now I have 1 parent node that contains 50 or so cild nodes.

Hi, I was given an assignment to create a collaborative platform on which users will be able to share their videos and if possible edit them online. can i do this on drupal? i noticed that some users prefer drupal and others joomla. which will be best for me? i'm new in these so i may lack very basic information. thanks in advance for your replies. antony.
