Before you start

I am at the begin stage of learning drupal, but really have the interest on it. And hope to get any information on db structure or explaination of drupal.
Many thanks!

I know that Wordpress is a great solution for a blog, but I am wondering what Drupal is missing on the key blogging feature, if any.

And if possible, can someone who has used both system to tell me the pros and cons of both?

Geez, I hope my subject line is clear enough.

We have possible project that requires a website for it's 300 some members (it's a small hiking club). Piece of cake. To support the club, however, there are some nominal dues that need to be collected on an annual basis (uhoh). Thus with that comes the need to track individual members particularly when they last paid and when their membership is set to expire.

My partner is like WordPress with custom coding and I'm like NO! I want to do Drupal!! Needless to say, I'm looking for information and pressed yet again for time to find out what's doable and what's not.

Is there anyone out there that has successfully set something like this up? I see lots of membership management modules (yay!) but I'm not finding specifically assisting managing dues, account expirations, etc.

They don't have the budget for an entirely automated system. But an improvement to there "Excelsheet" is badly needed. Its a tiny paying gig so if anyone is possibly interested in more than just pointing out where I can find info (actually helping us put it together), contact me off the forum for sure.

Hello,

I am trying to decide on the best technology to use to build my application/web site. I am neither programmer nor web designer. I just have a project in mind. The basic idea is this. On the web, one can find great, huge libraries of classic texts, from literature to historical documents, philosophy, history of science, and so on. Think Gutenberg, Bartleby, ccel, etc., etc., and now Google books. (I am concerned with public domain texts only.) The problem with actually making use of all this is that there is simply too much. How do you decide what to read? And when you do read, how do you engage actively with the material? How do you recall afterwards your thoughts and ideas? Finally, when you've discovered great things, with whom do you share it? I want to develop a web site/app that does the following:

1. Allows users to select texts or portions of texts from online collections that they want to read. Import the selected texts into a local collection or library and clean them up to be easy to read and beautiful to work with. (The clean-up process could be partly automated and partly user-driven.)

Hi all-

I have need to build a wiki-like site, with users submitting HTML marked up content (sanitized for XSS). I will need both public and authenticated sections. Need some way of tracking user/content traffic stats; as in, per-page stats, and aggregate per-page stats for users, who "own" these pages. At some point there will be a "marketplace" like feature.

Working with PHP5 and MySQL 5. This will be deployed to a LAMP server. Eventual goal is millions, or billions, of pages of text-only content. Linking to external media allowed.

Hi Guys

Couple of quick questions before I get stuck into developing with Drupal, want to make sure we are on the the right track.

Basically we are developing a web app to provide remote sites access to product ordering, reporting, some administration etc.
We would have liked to used an existing eCommerce solution hanging off a CMS, there's a fair requirement set for the project as far as the CMS goes, providing forms for the sites to micro order for their own clients aggregating the orders, even allowing for stocktaking. Too many specs to keep short here.
