How long does it take to build a Drupal site?

Hi,

I started building my first Drupal site back in September 2008. It has now been 7 months and I am still working on it =] although I am pretty close to finish. I wonder, in general, how long it takes everyone to build their Drupal site (of course I understand it all depends on how complicated the site is...)

My approach is to get all the modules that I need when building the site, aim on upgrading/maintaining after the launch, but I am not sure if it is better to just get the minimum done then add more after launching the site. What do you guys think?

Migrating from MySQL 4 to 5

Hi everyone,

I'm in the middle of moving my Drupal site to another host, so I can upgrade it properly. My old host runs MySQL 4.0.18, and my new one runs 5.0.67, and I'm having trouble importing my SQL dump through phpMyAdmin - I keep getting the following error message:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '`aid` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, `mask` varchar(255) NOT NULL default ''' at line 1

Drupal Code Survey

This survey is being conducted to determine how much code Drupal implementers actually write. The advent of modules such as CCK, Views, Organic Groups, Workflow, Ubercart, E-Commerce, Panels and Actions along with a dozen or so other modules has a empowered web developers with the ability to create sites writing little or no custom code. Is this true? If you are Drupal user please take the survey at http://www.mahalasoft.co.za

Variable themes based on node

Question: Can I apply a different theme to a node based on its node type, like I can use a different theme on the Admin pages? I have played with theming using node.custom.tpl.php, but this seems to only allow me to theme the basic areas of the node, like content, title, etc, but not the whole theme. Am I missing something here

Drupal SLOW on localhost (XAMPP & WAMP) WINXP

I have drupal up and running (on both web servers on windows XP) but it is extremely (5-90 secs / each request especially admin-->modules). I researched this topic and tried many methods and all did not remedy the problem. Here is some things I did:

1. Disabled the update module
2. Increased memory_limit to over 512M
3. Increased the timeout time to over 180s
4. Removed excess CSS / JS.
