I am a new user of Drupal and beginner in both PHP and MySQL (so much to
learn, but it's good). I had read the handbook and the forums but some
questions are conceptual for me. Drupal is great even so because I didn't
need to write code to put our intranet on air. It's running with the
Drupal's intrinsic funcionalities (news, events, aggregator, static
pages, etc).
My question now is I need write PHP code. I created a new content type
using webform module. I called "financial requisitions". Persons use it
to do data insertions in database (it´s perfect), but now I need create
a code to a person to see the registers of requisitions in date order
and to choice several registers to print them, everyday.
If I stay with this fundamental (using this node type created by webform)...
1) What the best (clean) way to do this code? -> Create a specific
module or insert PHP code in a page (snippet)?
2) I am using PHPTemplate and I read in forums I can personalise the
printing of each specific node type, but if I use PHPTemplate I get only a printed register each time, is it correct? If it is true, it is not good for me because I need print the choiced "requisitions" in sequence on paper (printing several registers on a page, not a single register). So this solution it's the same item 1)? (writing specific code?).
Or is it the best to start "from scratch" and to create a other node type?
