Before you start

Hello,

When we use the Internationalization module, can we add our own translation for each country? And does it mean that we have several web sites then? One site for each language.

I'm trying to set up a local server on my Mac (OS 10.5.8).

I have MAMP installed OK, but when I ask it to "Open start page" I get a 404 saying:

Not Found
The requested URL /MAMP/htdocs was not found on this server.

However, when I look at my Mac system, I see that folder (htdocs) listed at Applications/MAMP/hdocs

Why can't it be located by MAMP? I already have that folder filled with lots of stuff showing on my Mac directory including my Drupal 6.x

Can someone help me? I feel foiled before I even start.

My site is simple but am not sure if Drupal is the way to go. I downloaded the software, installed it, and played around with it a bit. My test system is Ubuntu Linux, Apache, PHP, and MySQL. I find I am capable on accomplishing almost anything by searching forums and learning by examples on the Internet but would like to know in advance if this software is right for me. Here is an example of what I am trying to do.

1. Create a custom database table named 'states' listing the 50 US states.

2. Create a custom search box that will only search the table 'states' for the state a user is looking for. (must be input box, not list) Remember that this is an example and there will be a lot more then 50 items in the list users will be searching for. There will be thousands of unique items. The state selected must be saved in the user cookie.

3. Once the state is selected, a member can add an article(story node) or photo for that state by adding content. When adding the content, I don't want a custom field that the user must fill in the state again. Maybe this field can be completed by the program getting the state from the cookie. So I guess I need a custom field for the Story node. Same thing with the photo page. Can I add image to Story node? How about a page where multiple users can add their own image like a gallery?

Hi all,

I am creating a new site where users can submit various design inspiration links and can also create groups of these for either public or private consumption. Kind of like fffound but where you can browse images and put them into your own galleries....not sure if I am explaining this great, but I think you can get the idea.

How can Drupal help a business?

We have a client who is currently using Lotus Notes/Domino as their content management system and web server. For many reasons, we are recommending they sunset their Notes/Domino implementation and transition onto a more modern platform--namely Drupal.

The client has several web applications which would be a natural fit for Drupal. However, I am unsure of the best way to implement one of the web applications in Drupal. I am running into a knowledge barrier and wondered if any of you could fill in the gaps.

Situation

The client has a Lotus Domino application which serves as a front-end for querying a large DB2 data store and returning a result set (generally in table form) to a user via the web. The web application provides access to approximately 100 pre-defined queries--50 of which are public and 50 of which are secured. Most of the queries accept some set of user selected parameters as input. The output of the queries is typically returned to users in a list (table) format. A limited number of result sets allow drill-down through the HTML table into detail records.
