Before you start

I know Drupal is a polymorphic monster, it can take many forms in any shape, you name it and Drupal has it!!!

But its a serious issue before you start working on some huge projects that can change with time, to select the right weapons before you go on a WAR ie. implement your project. I was much confused over building a Job Portal based on some CMS system, would that proove to be the right choice? And Drupal as we all know is the Best place to start with.

I bought Dell inspron loaded with widows vista i down loaded Xampp but it when i start apache or sql server it is not starting and when i run iam getting tcp/IP router error can any help me pls

I want to make it easy on my users, each of which will have a different look and feel on their site (multi-site install). I want them to be able to customize it without having to learn and build a drupal template. Then I want them to be able to upload and change their graphics in different parts of the page, and change and update text in different parts of the page.

Is that possible with drupal? Is drupal the right choice for that?

Many thanks!

Hi there, I hope this isn't a dead horse for this forum. If I want to work on Drupal 6 on a laptop for building a test site, should I use XAMPP? Is there a better freeware program out there?

Any advice would be awesome!

Hello,

I would really appreciate your help on this...

I would like to have a Database table with several fields as:
project | company | date | etc'
and an "add project" button for users to be able to upload a PDF file and store its details according to a custom form to be added into the table above.
are there any modules doing these ?

and a module for payment as well ?

And if you find a module to build the site instead of me... ok now I'm a bit off ;)

Thanks

Hello, some advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to build a slightly souped up wiki so that the content of a page is stored in wiki format and rendered when viewed, but in addition I would like to be able to add key->value pairs on the same page, so more or less some form of simple ajax form that lets me "tag" a node with the key->value.

Obvious problem I see with this is how can you tag something that doesn't exist until the submit form is hit? Or is there another solution?
