Before you start

hi guru's.

i'm building an online retail site requiring secure ecommerce, database product catalog covering up to 1000 items, rss, forums, and as much social networking tie ins as can be created.

i've got to evaluate three different frameworks: the shortlist is joomla, drupal and maybe dotnetnuke.

obviously i'd expect some pro durpal comment here. anyone care to point out the advantages of drupal over the other two, or the modules requiring consideration.

i haven't used either joomla or drupal before, but i've got aspx dot net experience...

Hi all, fairly new to drupal (8 days),
i managed to migrarte a medium sized (4k users, 12k articles)joomla site to drupal 6 with some ease, got my knowledge on views and taxonamy and all is well.

however, i want to migrate a Classic ASP/MSSQL site that i made to drupal, its a guitar tablature website, i cant seem to grasp how can i implement it on drupal, below is the functionality of the old site

old site:
breadcrumb style:
a vistor looking for tablature usually selects artist letter, then goes to a page with list of artists that begin with this letter, then he goes to the artist page which contains a list of the tablature available, then he clicks and view the tablature or downloads the file

submission of tablature:

user logs in, goes to submit a tablature page.
1st step, choose tablature type ( 3 text based types, 2 upload types)
2nd step he chooses an artist, if not available he can add new artist
3rd step he chooses an album, if not available he can add new album
4th step he chooses track name, , if not available he can add new track
5th step either he pastes his work , or uploads a file (depends on step 1)

search function:
search by artist name, album name, track name, date etc

my problem, i dont know how to map this to drupal

hi all,

Although I have a good programer background, Im just starting with drupal.
Im starting a new e-commerse website. I plan to be using mainly already developed modules and, maybe, develop any.
And here comes the question: Should I install drupal 6 or 7?

Thanks.

Hello friends
I took time configuring Drupal and Ubercart.
As I can?:
1 home page
within the main page:
Link to Ubercart
Link to forum
Link to Blog

I want a home page with information and news. For the other information I have it on separate pages.

Thank you very much
Regards

P.D. Sorry for my English

Drupal as an alternative of PHP and Web Site Development Technologies

What Drupal can do for me?

I am into UNIX / Linux Administration type of job role and love to create web applications whenever I see there are tasks that can be automated. I have used PHP for my purposes and I have found it very flexible and easy to use and learn. In fact, I have learnt it by writing PHP scripts directly and experimenting with different outputs and failures until I get a desried output.

Okay, let me come to the main point now. Now I want to be a professional Web Site Developer. I have appeard in some interviews for that kind of job role. But I have failed on certain grounds which involve:

Knowledge of Drupal and other such Open Source Technologies

I really have no knowledge of them. So, I need some information as to what results I can achieve with Drupal. As they say Drupal is a CMS (Content Management System). So, has it to do with the layout / design part of a web site only? Or is Drupal a replacement for any web technologies such as PHP? Or Drupal can help us manage different types of content and generate or display dynamic web pages whose contents vary very frequently and we (site developers or web masters) don't have to worry about how and from where contents are coming...?
