Before you start

Hi,

I have been having trouble finding drupal tutorials with real files and real code. Real functional working examples that I try with step by step instructions of how to do it.

This has been a problem for me to find for other content management software too. I'm sorry if it's on the drupal.org site and I have missed it.

Can anyone help with a link or two?

Thanks

Hi, I need to display videos with subtitles in my webpage and don't know if there's a module in Drupal that can do that.

Anyone can help?

I'm trying to setup a kind of diary, based on a personal calendar.
If there's no entry for a date, a new "diary-day" should be created. If there's already a "diary-day" for this date, the user should be able to edit the content, at least for a defined period (f.e. last 2 days).
I tried to use "Form element dafaults" to pass the date out of the calendar into the creation form for my "diary-day" but failed.
But the greatest problem is, how to change the URL called, depending on an existing or non existing "diary-day".

thank's

Hi all,

I have very poor knowledge in Web development. But, I want to develop a web application in my spare time. But, I wonder where to start and what to select since there are many options available.

My site will be providing users with the information of available Tourist accommodations in my town. Accommodation providers will be able to register in my site and enter available dates and details of their place. When Accommodation seekers go through my site , they will be able to search accommodations by date and when they click on the selected accommodation they will be routed to a dedicated page of that Accommodation.

To be concise , visitor should be a able to select and enter some values in a form and on submission , depending on the selections , current page should communicate with the database and provide all the possibilities of Accommodations in a new page replacing the earlier. Then , when customer clicks on a result(it will be a hyper link to a page) he will see a dedicated page of that Accommodation , which is also stored in my server.

Is this possible using Drupal? There are some Php, MySql, Ajax stuff to be handled and I was able to find no Tutorials give deep explanation about that in Drupal Resources. And also , there will be some other Forms , Image handling, Forums in my site.

What is good practice installing Drupal in Root or Subdirectory?

To fulfill Google News guidelines, how can I create URLs with date (http://www.domain.com/2010/07/01/postname/) automatically? Clean URLs enabled/URL path settings/Automatic alias doesn’t do it.

How can I add tags to a posts?
