Hello everyone,
I've been using Druapl for a little while and I'm looking to expand on it and i was wondering if anyone knew of a module that fits my needs before I embark on writing one myself for the first time. This is going to be a little lengthy.
I started a computer game blogging site http://www.playeverything.net with a few friends a while back and it works great, we have a sidebar to organize our content for our rants/reviews/articles related to computer games and technology.
Lately we've started to want to do some large features that might span a few months and get updated during that time. We're looking for a new content type, one which won't be displayed on the main page but users could get to via a block.
It's a bit confusing so I'll give an example.
Say we want to run a feature for a few months called Unfinished Business, a feature where the site's contributors challenge each other to finish computer games they've been putting off playing for whatever reason and the readers can track their progress. Rather than have these features posted with all the news/rants etc I'd like a features block which lists the features we've done and provides a link that will display that feature on the main pane.
Once in there the person viewing site would be presented with a bit of an introduction to the feature and then a list of links to each contributor’s page filled with the games they're playing and how they're doing.
