Hi,
I am about to set up a new web site for a number of venues which cater for a particular style of music. Mainly we need a gig guide to those venues (and to related gigs at other venues) but we would also like to add features to make it work a bit like 'myspace' for the bands that play there, i.e. it will allow them to showcase mp3s, perhaps videos etc.
The reason I am posting is to a) document my progress as I go along (got a little php experience and set up a few drupal sites now, but that progress could still be slow :) and b) hoping that people with more experience in either drupal or php will help out with a few pointers that get me started in the right direction.
Please will the more senior forum members let me know if the posting would be more appropriate somewhere else, in any case, all comments are welcome, either sources for other info, php snippets, general observations, critical observations etc
Ok, here is where I am: I got a server with Plesk 7.5.4, mysql 3.23 and php 4.3
I got both drupal 4.6 and 4.7 installed in separate folders, I would really like to go with 4.7 if possible
Plesk does not run php 5 so that will not be on the cards for a while.
Functionality:
The 'gig guide' should consist of these elements:
an event: a band playing at a certain venue on a certain date
a gig: a number of events ranked according to main band, support, DJ slots
