This is the group for people who want to discuss Drupal's social networking tools. These tools include modules like Buddylist, Organic Groups, Invite, FOAF, Private message, and so forth. Sites that currently do successful social networking are:
The goal of this group is to foster communication between the developers of Drupal's social networking modules, discuss roadmaps, and collect community input.
an experimental platform
You might be interested in an experimental platform based on Drupal 5.1 that we are making for small linguistic entities. Basically it delivers the capability of speaking, along with reading, by introducing an added MP3 vocal file to all nodes and comments.
The english version is at http://eng.i-iter.org a first running example in the piemontese language is at http://pms.i-iter.org
We look for volunteer developers and translators to localize the platform into other languages, so feel free to add requests to join the alpha stage. Bear in mind that alpha really means alpha...

Read morePlanning to Build a Social Networking, Educational, and E-commerce site
We are planning to build site that includes Social Networking, Educational Media, and an Online Store.
I see that http://goingon.com is a Drupal site that does social networking. Is this the premier Drupal site doing social networking right now? Does anyone know how much customization is required beyond plugging in available modules is required to create something like GoingOn? Are there other Drupal sites as developed or more developed in social networking than GoingOn?
I would appreciate any information or thoughts on this.

Anyone have interest in a Facebook single sign-on module? We'll be working on this this week and wanted some development help and/or ideas. With Facebook's new application API this is going to be huge to allow Facebook users to seamlessly sign-in to Drupal sites for use in Facebook Applications.

Hi All,
After reading a lot of forums around and deciding to build my own social networking site, I have created a list of modules that I think we might need to build one:

I am working on the complete tutorial and probably, later a code base as well to be released back to Drupal community as I progress in my project.
Thanks,

Openmusic:a barter Social Network for Musicians, Bands and Fans
Greetings fellow Drupallers!
I began working on OpenMusic, a social network that aims at letting fans help music artists. By giving appropriate roles to its fans - thus getting them involved - an artist can build a network of valuable friends where each can provide a service to help the artist.

http://sna.drupaler.net/?q=de/node/46#comment
Ok, here is the call, too many need this instead of waiting till June 2007 when the author wnats to upgrade it. He states that it is pretty much striaght forward to follow to drupal upgrade guide on its own.
Let's do a project for it and then we do it togather, since with 1000 eyes upon it the bug rate is low enough!!

For an upcoming citizen journalism project we need to set up a moderation procedure for stories that is not cumbersome. Moderation can be done in many ways in Drupal.
Can anyone suggest the best module combo that can do this?
TIA.

Read moreAllow action before requiring user signup (create node anonymously first, then prompt to register/log in)
Think this is the most applicable group. Prompting users to sign up before getting to see what your site is all about is super lame. Look at http://www.chipin.com right now. You can create an event right off the bat, simple.
So for our Drupal rewrite I want to allow anonymous users to create nodes then have them register/login to user accounts in the same process as a secondary screen.
Read moreHelp make a 1.0 release of Buddylist
The buddylist module needs some love. I'd like to see it have a 1.0 release in the next week or so. To do that, I want to see this list of issues get some reviews and a lot more testing of the current 5.x-1.x-dev tarball. As you can see here, a number of patches have gone in recently, so the current code needs testing. Thanks for your help with this effort.
Read moreSocial networking: Allow users to personalize their theme
I want to develop a module where a registered user can design their own theme (using a color.module theme) and upload their logo. Then, this theme and logo will be saved to the filesystem and will show on any of that user's full node page views (my usernode, my blogs, etc. all have my custom theme/logo). It's like MySpace except you have a controlled set of colors/logo, instead of slopping CSS into some About Me section.
Read moreYoutube-like, with flash transcoding
Hello,
I wrote a module derived from the drupal Video module to build a Youtube-like platform.
The site can be seen at http://www.kaouenn.net
Features:
- Creative commons licenses support
- auto transcoding to flash flv (with ffmpeg), with load balancing support (transcoding can be done outside the web server). Video formats supported include mpeg, realmedia, wmv... In fact the ffmpeg supported formats
- support video and audio only
The transcoding part is done with shell scripts updating the drupal DB through the XMLRPC interface.
Read moreCreation of an Installation Profile for Drupal Social Networking
I was wondering if there is a Install Profile for Social Networking Sites.
I checked it up at the Distribution profiles group and searched for "Social Networking" and found nothing. Are there any efforts in building a install profile for social networking sites? I checked up at Social Networking Sites and found nothing about installation profiles.
Has there been already an effort.
And if not a installation profile, then can we formulate a site recipe?
Read moreBest Approach to a "matching" site
Hey all,
I've been a drupal fan for almost 6 weeks! I've done one site and now I'm on to a fairly big one.
It's a job search site that wants to go beyond the norm... think monster.com meets eharmony.com... and I'm trying to determine the best approach to setting up the 26 "points of commonality". - ie. how people will get matched with the job of their dreams...
I am very open to suggestions. I know php fairly well... (I would have done this from scratch before I adopted drupal...)
Is taxonomy the way to go?
I know CCK offers great abilities to have custom forms and fields...
Module announcement: Content Blocker
Content Blocker enables users to block the content they see according to various parameters. Current implementations are for blocking by user and blocking by leech feed. So like on some social networking sites, users can say "I don't want to see any content by User X."
Early version. Please try it out and post issues. AJAX support through Fast Toggle module. Modularly built, quickly extensible through small .inc files to offer different kinds of blocking.

Read moreThe massive overlap of content types and modules when it comes to Social Networking
It suddenly dawned on my that most of my site is massively redundant and unwieldy, especially when looked at through the lens of what a social networking site is all about. I was thinking in an outdated paradigm, and many of the borders that I - and likely other people - think within when creating websites are pretty- much illusory. I'm now thinking there has got to be a way to massively simplify and improve this whole concept. Let me explain:

Read morevBulletin to Drupal
I am the lead developer of www.NoBlood.org, a site built on vB. I have embarked on porting the data over to Drupal. Thus far, I have succeeded in the ability to move all forums, threads and posts over to Drupal. I am currently working on an extended user/usernode registration/profile system. It's coming along nicely.
Well, although it would be nice to see more vB/phpBB functionality in Drupal, existing sites will be hard pressed to abandon their current, hard earned, users and data.
