OK, I admit it - I've tried to understand Drupal, but I simply cannot grasp how to set everything up - and due to other work commitments, I sadly don't have the time to read through all the manuals and tutorials. I am currently running my old hard-coded site here (to give you an idea of what I'm looking to do). That site is now way out of date as I have run out of server space. Besides, I build it many years ago in plain old static HTML.
I want this new Drupal site to feature full databased filmographies for each movie director (there are currently four), who will also each have their own 'latest news' specific homepage. The movie director pages will link to full and details filmographies, which will include video and DVD release information from around the world (with cover images) as well as poster art etc (a typical example of my current Director Filmography can be seen here).
The main homepage of the site will feature speciifc news on the latest DVD releases from the UK and US (and perhaps Germany and France too at some point).
Can anybody help me with this? I will happily pay anybody who can assist me (or even take over the main setting up etc). Once it's set up, I can then happily get on with creating the content.
ps: I'm based in London, the person assisting me can be based anywhere.
One frequent misunderstanding about free software is that developers are expected to work for free. While many do contribute their time simply because they love to code, many also do it to put food on the table and even have enough left over to take an occasional ski trip to Vancouver. And there's a big benefit to a free/open source project that can attract paid talent. When developers see income potential, they are more likely to get involved in the project. More developers means more features, more features means more users, which means more developers, etc. The end result is a better and more robust project.
So to help foster a healthy entrepeneurial environment for Drupal, a new irc channel has been launched at irc://irc.freenode.net/drupal-consultants. There, you will find consultants hanging about who will gladly listen to you tell them what kind of code/technical support/services you need---and they'll tell you what their price is for delivering them. No more begging and hoping someone will hear you over on #drupal-support. If you've got enough resources at your disposal, you can buy yourself as much attention as you need.
Some might worry about the potential drawbacks of adding the drupal-consultants communication channel. Will #drupal-support fade away? Will anyone offer free support again? Could the free and giving spirit of developers that has made drupal such a success get corrupted? Well, I'm not going to pretend to have definite answers to those questions. I tend to think not, however. There are already forums and places on the web to communicate with Drupal consultants who offer paid services. This is simply a more immediate and, hopefully, easier method of finding one. I also suspect many developers will continue to offer free advice as a way to show off their knowledge and attract clients. Finally, people who are looking for free advice on #drupal-support will always be around to answer questions by other people looking for free advice on a different problem, the way it's always been.
I am looking for a developer to upgrade the Drupal 4.6 mail module to 4.7. Yes, I realize that Mime Mail and Send is suppose to replace the Mail Module from 4.6, but I don't want the complication of mailing lists. I want a simple way to send all registered users on my site an html designed email.
I need a Drupal Developer for a project. We need a site for an art museum. Further details will be provided. We need references and examples of current and past projects.
We are looking for someone who can set up a multiple blog and gallery with Drupal, and integrate it with the login and registration of our existing site, as well as a coupe of other interesting twists. If you have some experience and like money, get in touch!
