Before you start

Hi,
i'm a newbie in drupal (i use drupal 6).
That's my problem:
when i create a book I can add many pages to it, but Drupal doesn't give the possibility of add a book in the book, i.e. add a page that is itself a book.
Can you suggest me a way to do such a thing?
Thanks in advance.

Hey, atm our website has a tree like structure. Each branch has one responsible who reports to an admin if there is an adjustment (adding a new announcement, images etc. simple requests usually) need to be done. Then admin implements this change using ftp+html code. (we dont want to use multiple ftp accounts to keep general look and feel of the site.)
What I am trying to figure out is, if it is possible to define roles, users similar to this scenario. i mean a branch responsible will add an announcement or edit an existing one, add images (html elements) without bothering admin.

Dear all,

Drupal looks perfect for what I want to do. However, I've never tried using anything like this before, so I was wondering if some generous individual would mind clearing up some dumb noobie questions. Thank you for your assistance and tolerating the long and rather detailed questions.

1) Can multiple nodes of diverse content types be displayed simultaneously in drupal pages (particularly based on some sort of templated layout scheme)? (seems the answer is pretty obviously yes, but I was afraid I was misunderstanding something)

2) Can multiple modules of diverse types be displayed simultaneously on the same page (With some sort of meta-templating)? (e.g. suppose I want to have both a forum and a blog on the same visible page... excuse the bad example, but I have a specific application where this is necessary)

3) Can the html generated for displaying a node involve calls to heavier things like a java applet? Can they pass data from the node to the applet - like dimensions of the box it is being displayed in? As an example, I mean a java appliet and some javascript, something like this: (http://www.openastexviewer.net/web/jsinterface.html)

I need to build a music store with mp3 downloads. Is there anyone out there that can and will help me in accomplishing this?

Hi All,

I am new to Drupal . I have very basic questions about drupal. I would appreciate it if i can get some answers before digging into it.

1) Can i run scripts ( Perl / C / C++ / C# ) in drupal.
2) can i get plots from some software and direct it to drupal
3) can i do data analysis in drupal ( plots, graphs, histograms, sorting of data , reorganizing the data )

Also some tutorials ( for beginners ) would be of much help.

Hi, i'm new to drupal.

I've installed drupal, tested it and take a look to some manuals. First thing i saw is that there's no content visibility control (ability to publish an article only viewable to some role, for example) but by block. Is there any way to do this (some module, or maybe i missed something)?

Thanks!
