Hi
I don't know if this is the forum for the issues I have but I am looking for a way to create categories within my Drupal site. I looked at Taxonomy but I don’t think it is a mechanism that works the way I want it to.
Here is what I am trying to do.
I need to create a business category sub-system in Drupal that will allow the user to set the business category of the registration form they are filling out at the time of submittals. I may allow the user to have multiple business categories.
I also need to create a leads form that has a set of question that are each category based as well.
The intent is to match the lead form to a registration membership and email the member with a lead notice. There are other behaviors that I need to add but that would make for an extremely long email.
I use the Webforms module to create two forms. The first is a registration form for membership. The second is a leads form with the contact info and business related questions.
Being new to Drupal I don’t know that much about the internals to hook this capability into the site. Any help would be welcome.
Thanks
Jim Merhaut

node profile and Rules
You may want to add a profile field for the user that is a dropdown/checkbox for your categories. Save is as a node profile rather than in the user object. There is a module to do this. Then you would need to use that profile node creation as a trigger for an action to have it send the email. Or maybe that can be done with Notifications. Question is whether you're going to need a custom module to define the action to send the email. If the email varies depending on the value chosen, I think you might.
I haven't done this all so I'm not sure how the configuration would go exactly, but it seems like one way to do this.
