Before you start

Hi,

I am new and just getting started to use Drupal.
I have a question that really needs someone's help!

My friend got into a project to update the search engine for our school's website with Drupal.
The new function is designed to allow people to search files in the database by different file formats (doc, PDF, etc.) on the webpage.

The question so far is simple:
"Is Drupal viable to achieve this goal?"

Thank you,

Yiwei

Okay guys thanks for your help on my previous issue when I was getting started.

My current issue is the search feature.

What I have is a content type called samples to upload audio sample files. When posting this type users input into custom CCK fields their own information. Instrument type (empty text box field so that anything be be input), Filetype (multiple bullet list to select from), description (for some reason it is taking my description and using all of these as terms in taxonomy under the term samples) there is also a Genre section (this is also a blank text field). Then all this information is displayed with a views table on the samples page (except description which I'm going to fix it to display description as well). I would like for each of these terms to be searchable. I've tried building a taxonomy list and also going into my search configuration and setting up help files amongst other things in the search configuration.

Hello,

Here I post a question about a small detail that bothers me.

In one of my nodes that this model of bike, I put a field of type "text" with a Wysiwyg editor to describe the model.

Good aim to put the field in a group, I decided to add a new field, rather than using the body of the node since we can not put it in a group by the GUI.

Afterwards, I managed to customize the editing mode node (node-edit.tpl.php) and now I could manually put the body of the node in a group.

I do not know what to do, use the body of the node or field specially added.

I'm looking to put together a website that is revolved around an Events Calendar, where individuals can come to the site and create different events which publicly post to the Calendar, allowing other users to search the events, find whatever they're looking for, and RSVP to them. Is Drupal a feasible option for me? I've done pretty basic things in Drupal before but nothing like this... can someone explain to me if this is possible, what might go into it?

thanks

I'm very inexperienced with webdesign and have been building an online store with the Magento shopping cart (I love open source, cause well... tis free). I sell greetings cards. Fairly modest little online business. Magento has it's own CMS within itself, but what I was curious about is does anyone know how difficult or easy it would be to use Drupal forum in the background linked from my main page? I've just been pushed away from phpnuke and phpbb by my host (says they're insecure) so I've been looking for another solution.

Any help would be fantastic.
