I am interested in following your progress with such a module.

This is directly relevant to the Social Networking Site group and a few modules I am working on.

wow!

tille's picture

..wow wow wow!!!

..I've been fighting with some of these matters / functionalities for a while - tried fivestars with views, node vote, reviews.. - ..and now found your 'work-in-progress' ..and I must say: wow! again.

..is there any chance you have and/or would share some how-to's..? ..for example what modules you used and how you hacked them and so.. - ..or are you actually planning to release this as a 'stand-alone' module..?

greetings from berlin, till..

ps: is there any way how one could support you..? ..my php skills are ok-ish - but I just haven't got enough module-developement-experience to offer you module-developement-hours..:]

very interested

Hi!

I am really glad that I can read that somebody works (or to plan works) on dating module.
I have a community site somvprahe.sk for (mostly slovak) citizens in Prague
and I see that dating is really needed for community site.

Please, let me know what is your idea about terms when can be first version of dating module.
Now I am planning that I will create simply dating by CCK (node type dating with some dting fields which are not in profile values.
(or they are there, but for filtrating the best partner will be there again...)

It is really lost that drupal have no similar module , or module for implementating some third party dating script as it is e.g. phpfreechat for drupal chat.

When I can see the progress, I'd like to support to developing this module too.

DATING on Drupal: progress after 1 year

igorik's picture

Hi

So after one year I did a really big step to close dating on our site.
There are two millestones:

  • node profile (big photo! & a lot of informations about user - interests, sports, hobbies, etc.)
    example: http://www.somvprahe.sk/user/tia or http://www.somvprahe.sk/user/skodna (some of our cute registered girls)
    (used modules: node family, node profile, node profile bonus, user node, automatic nodetitles, token, javascript tools[tools & tabs], CCK + CCK various modules, birthdays, buddy list, guestbook, image cache, user visits, )

  • searching based on these informations.
    example: http://www.somvprahe.sk/hladaj
    (used modules: views, save filter, views fusion and form tweaker)

As far I can see that after creating node profiles there is daily about 3 - 6 times more registered users as before.
With views2 searching will be more more easier as what i had to do with views.

Directions to Build a the Community Site.

ananth-gdo's picture

Hi there,

Currently I am looking for developing a Social Networking site with some customized features.
The site will be having features almost similar to LinkedIn and some more custom features.

I have been looking into various options on the technology which will best suit for the requirement.
I came across Drupal, RoR and many other frameworks.

I would like to get some inputs and thoughts on the following, before taking the decision on the framework.

  1. How easy/flexible Drupal is to customize the existing modules?
  2. What will be the difference in efforts to develop a module in drupal and RoR?

I can live with the scalability & performance issues by the frameworks, since i am looking for something which i can deliver with all the features required within a short period of time and then even think of redesigning the site.

waiting for your suggestions.
Let me know if you require some more details.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Ananth.

I like it!

I agree that http://www.gujaratimatrimonial.info - is a very good site. Would be nice to see such module for Drupal.

Could you please say what modules did you use? I would like to create the same for my country on my francophone site www.paris.kz.

Custom Modules

Lot of it has CCK/Views but we also wrote many custom modules. Please see http://www.gujaratimatrimony.info for an enhanced version.

Not Sure We Need a Dating Module

drupdrips's picture

I was able to do this exclusive serious dating site without any dating module per se, although I agree a glue module would have been helpful. I had to write my own which combined the dependence and interaction between privatemsg, buddylist, nodeprofile/CCK, roles/permissions etc.. but again in my case this was for a very custom driven niche of allowing exclusive communication between two people wanting to go private online. So this glue module I wrote will have zero relevance to a more general case, which also means you will need less customization too if you want to open a general purpose dating site.

I cannot speak for Drupal 6 since my site is on Drupal 5, but I am sure one can enable some type of profile as nodes module => however in this respect one thing I may recommend is not to do is to leverage the user/ as the Profile display page. I use the user/ page only for the logged in user to see his details/change profile/etc.. But for the actual display of the profile I use contemplate against the node profile content type to have more control and segregation from user-oriented tasks. You can see the profile pages on my site and know that those are node pages, not user pages. Another thing is to spend some time theming the output, cos by default, Drupal modules/php code will give you the content and capability, but dressing them and making it pretty and flow with your theme is almost always going to be a manual task. I guess this is where a CUSTOM module MAY be of assistance, to a limited extent however, since no custom module can predict the theme you will use.

Impressed

artscoop's picture

Hello,

Same thing, I made a dating site (rencontre gratuite) with very few custom modules, mostly a smart use of the existing modules, and some theming on many forms.
I used Drupal 6, but a few modules only available for Drupal 5 would heve been neat.

I'm quite impressed by the way. There are some sites made 2 or 3 years ago that look nice, and I know they have been a PITA to make because at the time, some must-have modules weren't available.

Hi I just visited you site,
