Before you start

I'm interested in exploring Drupal as the basis for an application I am planning.

At it's core, the application is an eCommerce site with one product. The product can be bought...or subscribed to at various monthly levels (quantity per month).

I've looked at UberCart and seen even that there are some subscription service enhancements available.

Has anyone done anything like this in Drupal and would you mind sharing some insights, gotcha's or the absolute must have tools/modules.

I am thinking of putting forum to drupal installation. But not sure what to put, drupal forum or some third party forum like phpbb or something else. Can someone list some cons and pros for those choosies to help me decide.

thanx

Hello all,

I have created the site www.wincfood.com with php but at the recommendation of a friend I have decided to check out Drupal and what it is all about. Does anyone have any recommendations on which version to start with or any first time tips for a newbie. I look forward to talking to all of you :)

Hi,

I just started to get interested in Content Management Systems and it seems that Drupal caught my eyes among the various ones :)
I'm still not sure to choose the CMS, and I'd like your advice because I'm still very new to them, as I know very well PHP and have always developed web sites with Frameworks (Zend Framework and Symfony).

So here is the context : I developed a web site for a radio more than 4 years ago, the PHP code is getting very old, a lot of people added small pieces of code everywhere, and now the web site is not extensible at all and dirty.

So now the idea is to make the web site from scratch and have something clean and which will remain so with time.

As I have a strong experience with PHP Frameworks and the MVC architecture, I still have some "worries" about using Drupal.

I saw I can have access to the database in pages, but is it possible to use instead PHP objects, just like models do in MVC. As a radio, there is a data about artists for example on most pages, and I don't want to do something like SELECT myCols FROM artists JOIN myOtherTables on every page. I prefer much more something like Artists::search(array(myCriteria)) and get Artist objects that I can easily handle.

Hi to all, we 've installed Drupal for a Private University portal. We need that when a visitor needs information about prices for some career, fill a form with some information( name, email, etc) and request this information throw that form. We need a kind of mail templates to send this information for the different careers and log all the out mails.

Is there any module that has this functionality or any that we can modify to get what we want?????

Thanks you very much!
