Before you start

Hi all

I am trying to get my search function to work on drupal 6 using the views 6.x-2.1 module. But every time I try to press the expose button to create a custom search in my filters I keep getting this error message:
an error occurred at: admin/build/views/ajax/config-item/content_search/default/default/filter/sid

I asked my free hosting company if they can help me and they said:
"drupal searching will not work n a free account due to the need to create temporary tables (which we do not allow on the free hosting)"

Hello

I am a total newbie to Drupal. I am sure that what I want can be done with drupal but I would like to get a kick start on where to look.

I would like to build something similar to a Business Directory, but in my case I would like to give the customers the chance to edit their content themselves.
So I would need the following:

I am in the planning stages for a rather large (for me) drupal project. The idea is that it will start as a single e-commerce site. Over time and as budgets allow it will grow into other web sites that are more informational such as virtual training. Some of this information/training/coaching will be pay based. The information is all inter-related to a single vertical market. I will outsource the coding/design but I want to keep the maintenance/administration to a minimum.

Before I start with Drupal, I want to make sure that I can get it to do what I want.

I want people to go to my site. I want them to buy my product. I then want a username and password sent to them. I want them to use their username and password to log in and view their product they bought.

I've done a cursory search on Drupal, and have seen the e-commerce module. I know from registering myself for the forums and receiving the e-mail with the username and password, that it can be done, but I don't know which modules to look at.

Hi,

I am developing a website which will allow one group of users (group A) to post profile and sports information about themselves including videos and another group of users (group B) to search through those profiles and contact people that they are interested in. I'd like to figure out if this is something that Drupal will be able to do. I think that it can, but need a little direction to get started.

Here are some of the requirements:
- People in group A will not be able to see each other's profiles or information
- People in group B will not be able to see each other's profiles or information
- People in group B will be able to search all profiles and information for group A
- People in group A will have a profile with personal info (name, address, etc.) and could have multiple sports related profiles. For instance, their golf profile might list their handicap and related fields while their baseball profile would list batting average, etc.

One of my first questions:
I figured out how to add/modify profile fields for users. What is the best way to add the sports profiles for each user? Would I add different content types and then somehow only allow each user to create one of each type? This way they could have 1 golf profile and 1 baseball profile, but not 2 golf profiles.

Hi, I'm new to Drupal and in my experience so far I think is a great web application! I decided to give it a try.

I'm planning a project related to music stuff and basically I want to show music data stored in a database. I was thinking about using CCK to create a new content type that will store the music data, the problem is that some critic parts of the music data will be in another database (not drupal's database).
