Hi,
I am working on http://www.iputech.com/ Its gonna be our university's student network where we can discuss, write blog, share information on latest happenings of thier college,events and even their personal life.
Right now I am stuck with one functionality. Its a Book lending.
Let me give you an overview of what this feature does:
1) Students create a node(book) which has various cck fields for book details. The book is listed on views generated page. I would like to put two fields which shows the status of the book(Available/Not Avaiable) and other field Contact(PM,email,profile) to get to the owner of the book and lists all the users which are having that book.
2) Since there are going to be many book nodes which might be deleted once the book is not available, is there any better option to deplay this feature other than wasting the node IDs.( I assume that if a node is deleted its NID is not reused)

What about instead of
What about instead of deleting the nodes (for books) you un-publish them? This way if a student lends out a book, and then has it returned and wants to lend it out again, they can. Also helps solve your huge NID problems.

I was thinking like drupal's
I was thinking like drupal's issue tracker module.
Anyone can create a book(project) and the owners of that book creates an issue in category available. And those who want the book can create issue as request or can even create a new book (project).
But sadly the module is not available for D6.
Is there any other issue tracker, project management or something like that module available.
I tried using http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue but its not that robust. Owners can queue the node as "I have it" and those who would like to have can queue it as "I want it"
but there is no way of tracking that who did what and who has the book and who wants it!

For you people to check out, I have given permission to edit cck fields, since its a live site. I'll be forced to remove the permissions afterwards.

Looks good.
Can you set up the textfields to be autocomplete? That would help in locating the book you are looking for.
