Before you start

We have a bare-bones volunteer development team at a non-profit based in Brighton, UK. Out of our group, one is excellent with PHP and the other is a database specialist. Both are very good with social media and integrating the concepts into site design.

We need a solution for a crowdsourcing project. I am new(er) to the organisation and the tendency has been to hand-code projects. I don't like to reinvent the wheel each time since there are so many plug-ins available for systems like Drupal. The heart of our application is the collection of neighbourhood records in order to create a content rich website to connect the history of streets and neighbourhoods together. In order to do this and facilitate a sense of community, we have decided to take best practices from Wikipedia, Facebook, flickr, blogs, and standard web practice.

At the corporate site has profiles of employees. I am looking for a turnkey solution to allow an administrator to make an entry in the list, came to work and showed the time. At the end of the day pushed the "left".

Capacity-building lists and export data in exel.

Hi,

I'm planning a website that has to support the features listed below, I'd like to know if Drupal is a good tool for me, and if it can support those requirements.

The main goal of the site is to be able to find and comment on items. for instance, for books, each book would have fields such as: cover-color, number of pages (ranges), weight, is it funny, language and so on. (about 20-30 fields)

I need the following:
1. Entering new items will be done by admins and all/some of the fields (see above) will be set with values. Do I have to develope a new content-type? or can I use something off-the-shelf?

2. advanced search according to the fields (see above). An advance search form such as some entries will have check-boxes some will have drop-downs and some radio-buttons and so on.
Is there any module that does this for me? do I have to create my own DB schema and code? (this is different than search by keyword that I saw Drupal supoprts)

3. each item will have a page with info and users (both registered and not-registered) should be able to comment on it.

4. each item should have a rating, so users can rate it (like Amazon) and the item page will show the current rating (with being able to show rating histogram is nice to have)

5. personalization. that is, being able to recommend to users other items based on the item they are looking at now.

I have limited Drupal experience.

I'm considering setting up my internal project management, using a module such as storm.

please helkp me how i can call view via php code

I am looking at converting my website over to Drupal...but need to find a module that will allow me to operate my web hosting business. (Like allow for web package ordering, monthly billing, etc.)

Anyone know of a module that can do this?
