Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

php code for using autocomplete with a CCK form

I am having a bit of trouble piecing these two parts of theming and autocomplete together.

I am implementing the theming of the actuall CCK for (part that user fills out - not the node output) by following the conversation in http://drupal.org/node/61481 which seems to work very well.

i am trying to integrate this feature with the built in autocomplete function in Drupal (following http://drupal.org/node/42552 )

I am trying to have auto complete work on a textfield 'field_school' and call the vocabulary from taxonomy 10. I am a bit confused as to how to mesh these two things together (i am trying this as a proof of concept really, i don't know php much at all)

so my question is where does the 'autocomplete' call go in the form field?

this is the code given in the cck autocomplete section,

<?php
        $form['taxonomy']['tags'][$vocabulary->vid] = array('#type' => 'textfield', '#default_value' => $typed_string, '#maxlength' => 100, '#autocomplete_path' => 'taxonomy/autocomplete/'. $vocabulary->vid, '#required' => $vocabulary->required, '#title' => $vocabulary->name, '#description' => t('A comma-separated list of terms describing this content (Example: funny, bungie jumping, "Company, Inc.").'));
?>

where do i fit that into my field call in the forms theme file?

<?php
 print_r(form_render($form['field_school']));
?>

Random Nodes with Views?

Servus, folks.

I want a floating block showing a random quote. I can't figure how to get a random selection from these CCK records called 'quotes' using the view.module... I found some notes that the former "random node" option was dropped in spring because of some new feature, but I couldn't find any further hint. The online help and some docs still say chosing "random node" should do the trick, but that's gone now.
So how do I select a random record from CCK using view?

TIA,

Norbert

Very Basic Node Question

Servus, folks.

No matter what I'm reading and trying for 14 days now, I can't understand how to get the following to work:

a.) I have a CCK structure holding several text fields plus a link to an Image node. The linked image and a short sentence related to the 'presentation' from the CCK structure should appear in the left column of my layout, while the rest of the article runs down the right column in this two column layout.

Showing the Author and Date of a Flexinode

I want to use Flexinode on my site, since users will be allowed to submit fictional stories, news, poetry, reviews, etc. And I would love to be able to have a node for each content type. The problem is that I want the author and date posted displayed with the content, and Flexinode doesn't seem to display that.

Is there a way to make Flexinode display the author info?

Thanks.

Could Drupal Run an Online Dating Service?

Hi All.

I have been developing websites with Drupal for almost 2 years now and absolutely love Drupal!

I have a client that has an outdated online dating service that wants a major overhaul and I am considering Drupal as the "driver" behind the improved online dating service.

But I wanted everyone's professional opinion and thoughts on if this could truly be achieved and if so, how?

Can Drupal provide the capabilities for the following features?
1. Capability to search for members based on any number of criteria such as an age range, miles from location range, male/female, interests, looking for friends/romantic relationship, etc.
2. Capability of showing search results of members found in a search with some brief details on each member and a single primary photo.
3. Capability to allow viewing of members' full profiles including all of their photos (up to 10), their interests (unlimited e.g. running, cycling, painting, drupalizing, etc)
4. Capability to send an anonymous email to the member
5. Capability to provide a 3rd party discussion board (Drupal forum is very limited so I want to use phpbb, invision, etc) for members and the ability to pass member login info to the forum without requiring a 2nd login.
6. Capability to require a login for certain features like emailing, viewing full profiles, posting and viewing forums, etc.
7. Capability to charge per period (per month, 3 months, 6 months) to member's credit card
