Before you start

I have never used Drupal, Or PHP, Or MySql...

I want to set them up and use them so bad, but it seems that just installing it is completely insane. I use GoDaddy as a host and I tried to look for a help on that and it was all negative, then I was looking at moving to BlueHost and it was all negative, then I looked for Site5 and it was all negative.

Can someone please help me?

I need to find a good combination to pick:

Drupal Version: ?
MySql Version: ?
PHP Version: ?
Site Host: ?

Ok people,

I am new to Drupal and all those CMS stuffs like Joomla and Mambo.
I have chosen to learn more about Drupal. Yes, make it a good news for you and me of course.

I have to prepare website that has this features:
- new users to join this website
- registered users then may post a text and even pictures (could be a video for future)
- administrators could view the posts and may approve or reject it.
- forum to communicate throughout

Yap that simple.

Hi

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a few days, and I'm not really sure that my approach is the right one.

I'm making an intranet for approx. 50 small companies in an office building. We need to share company info (phone, company type etc.), employee info (direct phone, email etc.), general info about practicalities, canteen menus and such.

Somehow I need to tie a user to a company. How do I do this the best way?

A company should have one (1) node, to display misc. company info and a list of employees (drupal users).
An employee (drupal user) should have a user profile page to display misc. user info.

I'd like the user to choose a company when registering - maybe from a dropdown list. It is required to choose a company.
The companies are created by an admin, but should be editable by the users tied to the company.

Security is not really an issue. We are pretty open about things around here and no sensitive info is going in the intranet.

I've been surfing the modules lists and reading just about all nodes on drupal.org containing the word 'intranet' ;o) but most intranet solutions seem to apply only to one company at a time.

I know Drupal has excellent permissions to adjust, does drupal have the ability to have a person enter a code when they sign up and that code enables and or restricts certain areas of the site. This code would have to be given to the user before he/she signs up of course.

Hi everyone!

My project is to develop a webshop of postcards. However, the biggest challenge is to find out an open-source CMS which support image voting/rating-system. The idea is that visitors of the shop could view images of postcards and give them a rating, for example from 1 to 10. Afterwards all data will be used when decisions are made about which cards will be printed for a real. It's the way how the demand can more easily meet the supply and that's of course something that many clients wish, like in this case too.

I run a chain of fast food restaurants, and we're planning on creating a complete operations manual for our restaurants. It would include information about everything related to the restaurant.

I've thought about setting this up as a static manual in print form, but I don't think that's a really good idea. So I think it's better to go with an online version that is constantly updated.

What I need in general is a hierarchical setup of all the items. For example on the equipment
