Before you start

So, I'm building a website for an organization with over 150 locations worldwide. The website needs to have an index of locations sortable by several parameters (Name, State, type of location).

Then, each location needs its own page with more information.

Is this something where I should use CCK and create a custom content type just for a location listing? Even if that is the case, how would I go about creating the page where all the locations are listed in a table?

I have a bookstore website that has product links to amazon.com.

In the past, I have revised the website using MS Excel and MS Word to enter the link and product data and output HTML using mail merge. I then cut and pasted the code into my webpages.
This was a slow and tedious way of doing things.

I have access to a few different Content Management Systems through my web hosting provider. Drupal 6.16 Stable is one I have looked at, but I cannot figure out if I can do what I need with it...

It needs to take info from a spreadsheet or database and output html code (full web pages that will include the template of a basic page and specific website page info - and various groupings of book data).

===== What I need to be able to do =======
The database will have many different columns of data. Possibly multiple databases... one for book data, one for website data. Some for book info and some for sortable categories to determine which books go in which page or section and some for file name etc.
Each book will have categories such as:
Series book #
Language
Format Type (hardcover, paperback, audio, etc.)
Copyright Year
ISBN/ISSN #
Amazon link URL - text ad
Amazon link URL - graphic ad
Purchase Price
Shipping Discount
Sale Price

I will have pages that list various combinations of data:
English versions of book 1 in order of format

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me with some very basic and easy to understand Drupal tutprials, so far all my searching on this site is coming upwith very complex, not easy to understand for new Drupal users. I think this is where Joomla wins hands down, very easy to use and understand, but all my research tells me that Drupal is a much better system.

My background is HTML, I have been building large static HTML websites for years, but now need to create a website that allows other non technical users to update it easily, hence my looking at CMS.

I have been playing around with Drupal for a few days but I am still struggling to understand how it all works, I have created a Classified listing website (a friend is looking for something like this for her little village) following a tutorial in Drupal but although I got it up and running fine (I think you guys call it craigslist style in the US) I don't really understand how it all bolted together so I wondered if there is a really simple tutorial anywhere which exlpains nodes, taxonomy, views modile, CCK etc.

Also, would turning this simple classified site into a pay per advert be possible with Drupal, again my lack of Drupal knowledge is hindering me seeing how I could do this.

Please I'm looking for Advanced Profile Kit Alpha 5. How do I get it?

Hi

I'd like to put together a simple e-learning site with the following functionality:

• Course segments will be Flash animations, and students can't skip ahead until the Flash has played (serial delivery)
• Students are able to backtrack to previously watched segments
• Students progress is recorded against their user profile

I have looked at e-learning systems like Moodle, but don't really need all the additional functionality for teachers etc. And besides, Drupal is better :)

Hi,
New to Drupal, very excited to start!
I'll be working on an existing Drupal 6.x site running on Media Temple. (livesite.com)
I also have an account on Media Temple, coincidentally. (mysite.com)

Should I set up the test site:

On a Subdomain of livesite.com
On a Subdomain of mysite.com
On a Subdirectory of mysite.com

Locally?
