Hello with all.
(I'm not fluent in english, so please excuse the mistakes)
I have discoverd drupal recently.
My family has an hotel/restaurant. There are several reports:
* we need an online reservation system,
* It is necessary that "non coders" can update the site
* the "proprietary" softwares for SME are very expensive, not evolutive, does not adapt to the ultra specific needs and especially noncommunicating (software package, counted, Internet site, do not share anything).
* There are now open-source solutions very interessting in the CMS and the ERP ("Entreprise ressource planning", integrated software packages).
Drupal seems to me the good system in order to completely reconsider our information system of company by integrating all (website, Intranet, reservations, open source ERP for hotel trade)

Therefore, having a good data-processing background (I was an engineer dev software C++, DB under win$ but not Internet specialist even if I have good concepts of php, css), I launch out in an ambitious project:
1- commercial website with a intranet/extranet invisible for the external users.
It will be a "traditional" corporate website : presentation of the company, pictures, services, contact... thus without "Community interaction" (maybe only a gold book).

Hi all

I just successfully downloaded Drupal 6.2 and hosted it on a test website. although, no webpages have been created.
However, how do I migrate a simple static html file onto drupal but still keep some of drupals features like users able to upload files, profiles, etc, etc?

Hello!

I am converting my website to drupal and have gotten a little confused as to how I over ride a function. I was following the guide http://drupal.org/node/173880#theme-registry and used the sample code

<?php
function drop_menu_local_tasks() {
  $output = '';

  if ($primary = menu_primary_local_tasks()) {
    $output .= "<ol class=\"tabs primary\">\n". $primary ."</ol>\n";
  }
  if ($secondary = menu_secondary_local_tasks()) {
    $output .= "<ol class=\"tabs secondary\">\n". $secondary ."</ol>\n";
  }

  return $output;
}
?>

but modified it to fit my site (example)

function mythemename_links() {
  $output = '';

  if ($primary = theme_links()) {
    $output .= "<td class="menuitems" onmouseover="this.className='menuitemshover';" onmouseout="this.className='menuitems';">\n". $primary ."</td>\n";
  }
  if ($secondary = theme_links()) {
    $output .= "<td class="menuitems" onmouseover="this.className='menuitemshover';" onmouseout="this.className='menuitems';">\n". $secondary ."</td>\n";
  }

  return $output;
}
?>

For news items, in the past, with our old hand-rolled CMS (used PHP), there was a backend you logged into, you click to create a new item, entered the date, title, link if external (e.g., for say an article in Brandweek, rather than a press release from us), full text. The system then published the latest item to both the homepage (newest for items) and press page (newest 10 I think), and if the item is a press release it would create a page for it.

Hello,
I’ve got a passive income idea in which I’d have users from a particular niche come to my website, sign up for an account and pay for a service which lets them choose from certain pre-designed templates, and get their own “pre-packaged” Drupal site. How do I do that? I know that’s a rather BIG question, but I’m not even sure what terms to start searching for!

I do know how to create the basic functionality of the templated/prepackaged sites I want my users to choose from (i.e. a blog, picture gallery, email list, and several designs/themes), and I understand there is a ecommerce module that allows for subscription based payments – but I don’t know “offer” those pre-packaged sites to users? That is, how does the user go from signing up for the service and choosing a prepackaged site to actually getting access to one of the prepackaged sites? How can those sites be set up automatically after the user has paid a fee and chosen a template?

I also have questions about the domains associated with these sites as I’d like to offer my users two choices: a subdomain from my site – or the ability to use a custom domain.

So, I guess I have three questions:
