Hi,
I'm beggining to learn Drupal professionally and it's giving me a bit of a headache ;) Nevertheless I have a project I need to acomplish. It involves advertisements placed by users to the given criteria (custom fields) which is free. On the other end I would like users who want to take the assignment from advertisement to pay a fee for receiving contact information. Additionally I'd like to have a rating system for both parties to assess each other's performance in the deal.
I am new to Drupal and was wondering whether it could do the following:
Have two types of users, the first one being the 'developer' who can create the second type of user the 'client', they can create as many clients as they wish. The developer should be able to post news and updates to all clients (that they have created) or to just one in particular.
Then when the client logs in they can view a list of all that the developer has posted to them, as a Twitter esque list.
I have a dream... I have a dream... That one day I shall retire and have some form of income that doesn't require my presence...
Go one eh?
I've been searching in the showcase for a Drupal site that one can classify as e-commerce affiliate publishing.
an example of that would be Brad's Deals or eDealinfo or Techbargains...
These are data intensive that rely heavily on external data feeds.
I own 3 different domainnames. I'm hosted with one of them at at shared web host running apache. I don't have access to server configs.
Would I would like to do is having the same code base / user login / database but serve the 3 sites with diffferent content. I read about the Domain Access module but I'm unclear if I can use it in a shared hosting enviroment and for the use as I have specified above?
I'm wondering if Drupal is the right choice to build a heavy duty media upload / viewing site such as Flickr and youtube? My feeling is that it should be possible - there are plenty of media handling modules available now. But what about dealing with very high server load? Can a server configuration be implemented to let Drupal deal with this?
Should I be looking at Amazon cloud servers? or just a very powerful dedicated server?
