Before you start

Hi everybody,

I have to relunch the site www.inside-siegen.de and asked me, if Drupal was a good solution for it.

I need this interactivities at this page:

- yellow pages
- classifieds (with payment)
- news
- events
- forum

My biggest Problem is: owner from companies (out of yellow pages) may type some "action days". these actions must displayed at a box on the Startsite.

Is Drupal okay or is Joomla better? Hope not... :-)

thanks, Carino

Hi there,

I'm currently looking at Drupal as a way to facilitate content for my website instead of html/asp'ing it the way I was intending it. I'm an author and most of my content will be articles and things related to selling my products and not anything related to multi-user input?

Would Drupal still be effective if I'm only focusing on my own self-added content?

Obviously the point if looking in the first place is to remove any of my own time needed for html coding and the like.

Sorry if this is an obvious question and thanks for any input, pro or con,

Hi,

I am trying to pull content from an XML feed and store it in a database...Ideally the entries would be stored as nodes, does anyone know of any module that would take care of this for this specific XML link? I was looking to have Feedapi do this, and then map the tags to different fields in drupal for example. I did try this, but FeedApi doesn't seem to like it, nor does Feed parser, aggregrator etc, I know the latter of these are to parse RSS, ATOM and RSS 2.0, but i was hoping FeedAPI was more what I was looking for....Does anyone have any advice on this at all?

plz put ur view in this, how a new comer work on drupal

You say, "please read the documentation before you start". What if it is precisely the documentation I don't understand?

I built a couple of websites - including mine http://www.otherlanguages.org - in HTML. I'm hoping Drupal is going to enable me to make sites for a client that the client can maintain themselves without needing to write into the code.

However, I don't understand the jargon about modules, and the more I read, the more confused I get.

Looking to create site like adultfriendfinder. Is there any easier alternatives to create site like that other than using Drupal? I heard Drupal can get fairly complicated. I don't want to waste 6 months working on a site when I can get it done in 1 month.
