Before you start

Hi team,

I'm new to Drupal so I am starting fresh with 7 alpha. I have a specific task in mind, so I was looking for some friendly direction - is it possible with Drupal, and should I be looking at specific modules instead of writing my own?

The task:

I need to have users sign up and add a "node" to a collection of nodes.

When adding the node, they are asked specific questions. An example would be a car database website. The user adds a "car" node, and in doing so they are asked specific questions (some may be unstructured data like car name, others may be structured and pre-defined like body type, year, etc). The questions are layed out along with appropriate input types (text fields, drop down lists, radio buttons, etc).

Upon submission, this data is collected and placed into a new node.

Once the node is created, it is flagged for approval by a moderator before being set to public.

When an existing node is displayed to a user, the collected data is layed out in a pre determined fashion, but not too dissimilar from the node creation.

The nodes do not have to be linked in a child/parent fashion - in fact, it is better if they are just a collection of nodes.

hi newbie here,

im doing a e learning project as i created a books as courses i need to make this books to ubercart product. is there any option to place a node or group of node as ubercart product ? or any idea,

looking forwrd,

Hello Friends,

I am very new to Drupal. Just started!! I am wondering that is it possible to write modules which hasn't any kind of GUI but it can accept file through http protocol, save those files. It should also include read those files and save their info in database. Here, I don't want any kind of GUI because I want to upload that file from phone application. But the point here is to use Drupal is may be I can manage those uploaded contents.

Thanks!

I'm looking to have a movie-streaming website like mubi.com but not directly competing with it. Can anybody here tell me if this can happen using Drupal?

Thanks,

I want a page with two textfields, where the user enters search strings. When the user press a button, I want Drupal to look in the database, see if the both search strings (or ID's related to the search strings) match, and then display result regarding the search strings.

I'd also like to be able to easily edit and add new search strings.

Can Drupal do this? If so, which modules would be best to use?

Thank you in advance,
C

I'm looking for some suggestions on the best way to set up my test/development environment for a new client.

My own local system is running WinXP, Apache, MySQL, Php, etc.
My client has a dedicated server running Windows Server 2003, IIS6, MySQL is avail, Php is avail. The server is currently serving one domain and that domain is live with the clients corporate website (eg clientdomain.com). I can't change this server configuration so I must live with it.

The plan is to move the client to Drupal 6.x multisite, however because of the differences between my local platform and the client's production environment, I want to know the best way to set up my test environment with minimal impact when taking the Drupal 6.x multisite live. I need to have the test environment match the production environment as closely as possible.

I'm thinking that it may be best to set up the test environment on the client's dedicated server. I lose a little bit of productivity because it is remote but then it saves me time when I have to move from test to production. I'd like the test environment to be nearly identical so that a simple copy of files to c:\...\clientdomain.com\ and some setting.php changes can be done to take the new website live. Is that possible?
