Hi!
I'm a relatively new user to Durpal, however I've used a wide range of content management systems.
After using and getting familiar with Xaraya, adding some custom modules to suit my needs, it was a good platform, however it's huge and slow, so I needed something faster (or "roll my own brand"). Durpal came to the rescue.
I have three main questions concerning the implementations of non-standard features:
1, The ability to create 1 to many relationship between nodes dynamically
an example:
I have several "Clients" & more "Projects" objects, and even more "Designed Items", and for the portfolio I want these to link nicely: A project has a client who's informations are displayed with the project information, and the project contains "Designed items", any number of them.
If the user checks a "Designed item", the node loads, and displays a short summary about its parent project.
2, Dynamic input field for a specified user
Some pages (specially the "not finished designs") are invisible to all users except moderators and it's matching client user (so the client can check the work in progress without having to send a preview for everyone, and forwarding these).
These unfinished pages should have a dynamic dropdown box where the client (and only he/she) can set it's state (can the flyer go to the press? Has the client seen and approved it).
