Hi all.
As a noob to Drupal the forums seem the right place for me to start out...
I am a PHP developer, having good knowledge of HTML/CSS/Javascript/Ajax, working on a Gaming/SN Portal and am contemplating on using Drupal as a base for the same.
I'll be providing my requirements and would be grateful if any one could guide me as to how I could go about accomplishing them using Drupal.
The portal would be a Casual Gaming portal with elements of Social Networking in it.
The games would be categorized according to genres such as Action/Arcade/Racing etc.
Users could register and have their scores persisted over time, take part in Challenges/Tournaments, display their scores/badges etc.
The following are the main sets of pages that I am interested in:
User Profile : Could be customized to a small extent by the User (basic CSS)
- User Avatar
- Display Rank/Badges/Scores
- Private Messages Inbox
- Blog of his own
- Favourite Games
- Friend List
- Friends' Activity Feeds
Games : Would contain list of all games classified according to genre
- New games in the category selected
- Top played games in the category selected
- Highest Rated games in the category selected
Game Play Arena : Would be styled accoring to the game's genre
