Before you start

From what i have read i think Drupal can do what i want without too much fuss but it would be great if someone could point me in the right direction, as i have got stuck!

I want a new user "joe" to sign up to my site ("Animal Buddy") and fill out two custom profile fields "my_animal1" and "my_animal2"
I want joe to have his own private blog by default, that only he can see and edit.

I want joe to be able to browse/search a site user list looking at other users "my_animal1" and "my_animal2" profile fields and allow "joe" to request to be friends (twoway connection?) with another user say "bill".

Once "bill" has confirmed that he will be friends with "joe", I want "joe's" buddy "bill" to be able to see/add-to (or maybe only post comments) "joe"'s blog, and vice-versa with "bill's" blog.

I have a new install of drupal 6.6 with friendlist, views, profile, blog, modules installed/enabled.

I have added the custom profile fields and created a "view" for user lists, but am not sure how to proceed.

How do i get the default private blog for each user?
Should i be using friendlist or user-relationship?
How to i have permissions matching a friendlist for each users private blog?

Hi GUys

Is it worth it to upgrade to drupal 6 from ver 5 or should I just wait for stable 7

Thanks

Is it possible to create a click through terms of use page that all visitors to the site must agree with regardless of if they enter from the home page, or a deep link.

i have many articles in a term , and i want to move some of them to another term ,
so can anyone tell me how can i move them in 1 time, but not one by one...

thx.

Hi,

I'm a drupal newbie.

Any advice is appreciated.

I'm been reading the post about Drupal 5 or Drupal 6, and it seems that Drupal 5 has everything but drupal 6 needs to wait for modules to be updated and waiting for those modules to be stable. Especially ecommerce, og, tabs, subscriptions, etc.,.

So, in short,

What modules are need to "Drupal 5" to provide the same benefits as "Drupal 6"? That way I get the best of both worlds.

Hi, I already have an html website up:
www.nationaleconomy.net

I would like to add a blog page, such as www.nationaleconomy.net/blog

Is it possible to have a "partitiioned" site where some pages are HTML and there is also a Drupal section?

Thanks
