Dear sir,

Please visit this site http://www.ilovebolly.com/ This site is made in drupal.
It has many channels . Lets consider movies channel. and inside movies.. list of movies.
For every movie there is one page. and on that page they have many subpages... like

  • Overview
  • Plot
  • Reviews
  • Cast
  • Production Details
  • Songs
  • News
  • Trivia
  • Quotes
  • Suggested Movies
  • Fan Club
  • Comments
  • Photo Gallery
  • Video Gallery

My question is how to create a node for a movie suppose " TROY"
then how to create its child nodes ... like "Overview ", "Plot", Wallpapers, Quotes from movies, fan club, news etc etc..

Only Troy page is created by admin. But the subpages like overview, plot.. etc are updated by users. (like wiki).

I am able to make a node movie.. and inside movie I created many fields using CCK ans set permission edited by users. But problem is that when users edit any field whole page (node) comes with all fields appears in edit section.

How can I have separate subpages under page "Troy". When user wants to edit only one subpage.. only that page is edited.

No plug and play -- customize Drupal

Hi essenzzo,

I'm one of the developers of ilovebolly.com and have been with ilovebolly since its onset. Let me answer some of your questions.

  1. The subpages that you are talking about are created either using Views or Panels. Both these modules allow you to customize your pages. For example, a photo gallery is a view of all the photos that are associated to a celebrity/movie. Since views are dynamic, once we add a photo and associate it to a movie, it instantly appears in the gallery. Similarly, Plot page is created using Panels. Again, the stress would be on the point that there is no plug and play solution for any customization.

  2. To have wiki like edit feature, you need to write a lot of custom code for the simple reason that you'll need to keep all this edit moderated. There is a developer api available to customize your forms, but that is way too generic to solve the purpose.

Besides the points that you have raised, which are all more related to designing the architecture than the implementation, there are a lot of cool features @ ilovebolly.com namely,

  1. A-Z listing of all the movies -- http://www.ilovebolly.com/movies/a
  2. All bollywood tweets, classified and dynamically loaded -- http://www.ilovebolly.com/bollywood-tweets
  3. All the tweets related to a celebrity, e.g. Priyanka Chopra -- http://www.ilovebolly.com/celebrity/priyanka-chopra

Pictures in User Registration page

Hi Mukesh,

What did you use to achieve the Picture part in the User registration page? How did you use the icon in the user profile. Is this just the profile module in play or something else.

Thanks
