Before you start

Hello everybody,

I want to get your suggestion on a module creation.
Actually, I would like to contribute a module but I am not getting any idea of which module to be create. Can anyone suggest any functionality that is not present yet in a drupal module list?
Or suggest me if you have created your custom modules and want to share that functionality so that we will add more more advance functionality into that and drupal community will use it.

Please advise.

Regards,
Yogesh

Hello all,

I had decided to use PrestaShop for my project, but I'm having second thoughts as I see that it can't handle relational product attributes out of the box without additional development (for example, if a product is available in various fabrics, and each fabric has it's own pattern options. So if the user selects a certain fabric, that fabric's specific pattern options then display dynamically for the user to choose from)
And since any developement with PrestaShop turns out to be extremely expensive, I wonder if PrestaShop still qualifies as a "free solution"...

- Can Drupal handle such relational attributes? (specifically like in this PrestaShop example: http://www.monbijouperso.fr/bracelets-personnalises/2-bracelet-mes-petit... a site selling bracelets with engraved medallions, if the customer chooses a certain number of medallions in box on the right, the corresponding number of text fields are dynamically generated for the customer to enter the messages he wishes to engrave)
- Would be possible to integrate a JQuery menu with thumbnail navigation? (a variation of this menu here: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2010/07/29/thumbnails-navigation-gallery/

Thanks in advance for your kind advice

Hi! I am very new in Drupal. Can anybody help me on how to transfer an existing wesbite to Drupal? Any suggestions will do! tnx!

I've been doing the Lynda.com Drupal training and am far enough along to where I'm beginning to question whether Drupal is the right choice for us. I really need some advice from the pros! Here is my situation: I work for the school of Humanities within a large university. I am the only programmer/web developer for our school. We currently have over 30 departmental websites that are currently being fed with data from a home-grown content management system (done in PHP/MySQL). My users are not tech-savvy and our CMS is fairly simple (user-training is a non-issue). Basically, the CMS allows them to input data for news, events, staff, faculty, courses, jobs, etc. The data is then displayed on their individual departmental site and "rolled up" to the main school's website. I design all the sites in Dreamweaver and use a series of PHP/CSS 'templates' I've designed to read the data and display it on each department's site. Each site is unique and is designed to the department's specifications.

I'm new to drupal and I'm trying to use it to build a website. The website is for a driving school where the instructor can use forms to input the score for every lesson.

Now after a few days I'm a bit lost here. I can't find a way to create the students and manage their progress. Drupal comes with some basic forms but they can't be linked to each other.
The idea is that I have page with all the students, click on them to view their basic information (like name, address,...) but also view a scorecard, their registration entry,...

My background is with Dreamweaver creating html pages. I have just literally installed Drupal yesterday, so I am really, really new to this.

I have a client who needs a site which includes a public directory of around 150 people (offering a particular service) including name, location and phone number. Rather than showing a list of everyone, I need to make a searchable database so users can search by location etc.

So, can this be done relatively easily in Drupal?
