We are looking for help converting the following two sites to Drupal
http://macreviewzone.com (MRZ)
http://macspeedzone.com (MSZ)
Test sites can be viewed at
http://drupal.macreviewzone.com
http://drupal.macspeedzone.com
In terms of theme, we plan on going with Garland as our base theme for both sites, but doing some minor tweaks to accommodate our logos.
We need help with the following:
1. Setting up a shared database or some other method of sharing data between the two sites. As an example, the latest iMac reviews and "best price" info from MacReviewZone would show up on a MacSpeedZone page with iMac speed benchmarks.
2. Single sign on between the two sites. I set up shared user tables, but users still have to log in to each site separately.
3. Several custom views/content types that present as cleanly as possible a large amount of data.
a. "Buyer's Guides" for tracking Machine prices.
b. Machine specification pages (perhaps allowing users to compare any two or three machines on the fly) for individual models and machine families (eg MacBook Pros)
c. Machine performance information for individual models and machine families. We enter raw numbers and bar charts get generated automatically. Again, it would be cool if users could generate their own comparisons.
d. Front pages for both sites
e. ???
