Before you start

Hi,
I'm a newbie in Drupal and I'm wondering if Drupal is well suited for the business application I'm trying to develop. Here is the basic scheme of the application:

1- when the user logs in (suppose he has an account), he's directed to its own page whose layout is the same for all users except for personal info. Ex: name, address, assets in its portfolio, total value in dollars (maybe a couple of graphs too). In a sense, each user has its own unique page.

2- the user can decide to "run a new simulation" by clicking on a button for example. At this point, the user is asked to enter a set of parameters. A lot of parameters are needed, so several forms have to be filled. Doesn't know the best strategy to do that: different screens linked by next/prec buttons?

3- on last screen, user can launch the application (a lot of calculations programmed in PHP implying creation of many mySQL tables). A message tells the user the calculation phase is started and he will receive an email when it's finished. In the email is attached a PDF file containing results : summary reports, graphs, etc.

Hi All,
If there is someone who could give me a bit of info, I sure would appreciate it.

I've been trying to set up a blog on Geo & Chevy Trackers and Suzuki Sidekicks that you can see @ http://www.tracker-sidekickhq.com. With all the publicity out there on the web, etc. I started out with Wordpress and managed to get set up, although I still have a lot of work to do. At first glance, WP seems fairly intuitive, but I've now reached a point where I'm wondering if that was the right decision.

Before going further into the blog set up, I decided to check out Drupal, so have been looking around the site and forums. I gotta say that all the info & technical language has got my head spinning to the point where I seem to be going round in circles, and finding things intimidating.

My questions are the following:

Hi all, I was thinking of creating an online radio station site. I would like to use Drupal 6.

I would like my registered users to be able to upload MP3s to server and create a play list and other people can go to the site and listen to the play list of any user(permissions)

I do not know how I would have the music playing.

Taxonomy terms to add gender. Fivestar to rate the music. I was thinking of using the http://drupal.org/project/station module.

Hi. I am a developer at an organization whose website gets *a lot* of traffic (about 18 million unique page-hits per day). The majority of our content is dynamically generated, but we do have a lot of static content which we would like to begin managing in a CMS.

We are considering Drupal because we know it is a popular CMS, and we don't want to have to build our own. I understand that we can use Drupal to store, edit, preview, and render content, and also manage workflow. But can we:

It seems joomla is limited to 1 section and 1 category (for the moment).

Hey All,

I have a new website I would like to setup. I have used vbulletin for all of my other communities, but think that Drupal will fit this project better. So, I was hoping that some people could guide me in the right direction for modules to give me the functionality I need.

So, the site:
