General

Hello! I need a little help (and apology if this is not the right place to do this..)

This is based on the wordpress plug-in wp-localbiz. However, it will be more than that!

I am not looking for a "clone", especially a wordpress clone!. wp-localbiz is more aimed at a single web-site - I want to implement a directory. More like Net Space Profits. So this is a merger of two ideas - and on Drupal 7, of course.

Hello all,

I've started working on a business plan where we'd also need a directory. I'm not really an IT guy, but if our project takes off, there might be chances that we get funding to do some development of a module such as Sobi2 for Joomla and contribute it to the drupal community.

I've just set up a wiki page to identify the features such a module should have.

Three questions:

What about these two modules?

http://drupal.org/project/directory

http://drupal.org/project/category

I have been creating a drupal site, www.findinjp.com, for over a year now and I am finally liking the way it functions and the content types, etc. The only problem I have now, is HOW TO DISPLAY/ORGANIZE the content. My goal is to have thousands and thousands of listings but I have no idea using Drupal how to display this content in a organized manner.

I was hoping someone here with experience would be able to help me out.

I saw this website: http://www.gran-canaria-info.com/index-old.shtml

One of the many genres of website is the business directory. This seemed to become very popular during the early and mid 2000's with most following the pattern of having many listings with paid listings that gravitated to the top of lists with more information on them.

There are a few problems with this approach. First, there are many out-of-the-box solutions and Joomla has a handful of plug and play modules. Also, when looking for a business why not just go ahead and use Google?

I've followed this group for awhile, because I have created a lot of business directories outside of Drupal, and have wondered if it could be done easier and quicker within Drupal and it's vast amount of contrib modules. Well, I think it can, now that I do 90% of website development work in Drupal.

I am trying to create a system like http://atlanta.craigslist.org/, where users can post anything they are selling. This is what I did so far.

1) I created a content type called "marketplace listing". I used CCK to add various fields.
2) I created a container vocabulary called "Marketplace". Then I added terms (categories) in a tree like structure. For example, see below:
Marketplace
-For Sale
--Books
--Electronics
--Clothes
--Computers
-Jobs
--Accounting
--Finance
--Engineering
-Housing
--Apartments
--Condos

I am new to Drupal. I have watched many tutorials on how to use Drupal, but I have no idea where to start for this project.

Facebook Live Stream module leverages the Facebook Open Stream API. Once installed, the module allows users of the Drupal instance to access their Facebook account and view the real time stream of their friends’ updates from Facebook in a block within their Drupal instance. Users can control the number of posts viewable via the profile settings tab. The module allows user to configure his/her settings such as No. of posts to display, retrieval interval time, etc.
