Hi All
I have 2 questions, but i will make the other one another discussion.
I would like to know if there is some sort of way to calculate quotes using drupal and if anybody has done something of this sort. My search has yielded no results and was wondering how one would do such a thing. Would one use a e-commerce plugin such as ubercart or would one need to do a custom development?
Any ideas?

Depends
What do you want to quote on?
Do you want to work out estimates for your clients end send it to them?
Or do you want your client to select from a product list?
if 1, then you can use CCK and views and for 2 you can use an ecommerce module without any payment module.

Many to many display of data - do not repeat column 1
Hi
As you will see I display BrandNames and Generics(Ingredients) on http://www.medx.info.
I have three tables:
brandnames
ingredients
brandnameingredients
one brandname many brandnameingredients
one ingredients many brandnameingredients
i.e. brandnameingredients is a many to many file
I want to show on a webpage
the brandnameingredients table sorted on brandnames.
must show brandname on a row and on subsequent rows show its ingredient then next brandname.
Must be able to add new BrandName Ingredient entry on this same page
BrandName1
Ingredient7 100mg
Ingredient2 5mg
BrandName2
Ingredient3 200mg
Ingredient15 0,05mg
Ingredient6 750mg
I am doing the updates with dbQwikSite at the moment but I cannot get away from it to show the same brandname on each line with its ingredients.
Can I use CCK and Views to do list my data intelligently and do the adding and updates?
Thx!

Johan Looks like Drupal's

Looks like Drupal's Taxonomy would be great for you as you can have many and shared categories for a brandname.
IE: Brandname A:
--IngredientA
--IngredientB
Brandname B:
--IngredientA
--IngredientC
IngredientA is in both brandnames
etc.
Then you can use CCK to create entries and views to show them. Also don't forget Contemplate.
