How-To

Hello lovelies :)

I need to build an invite/evite a friend page for my drupal church site that replicates this functionality: http://www.northpoint.org/invite
Can someone tell me where to start? What modules can help me build this feature? Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated : )

I'm looking for a way to allow people to keep a simple prayer journal, to add items, then check them off, or change the status from "Concerns" to "Answered" or the like. This would be mostly private, although being able to make concerns public so they show up in a section of everyone else's concerns would be helpful, or even better, "public" vs. "public to members only".

Thoughts?

I want to make a page and block of recent events. Does anyone know how I would go about doing that? Thank you

I have installed the calendar module working good. One downfall it is not loading my theme css. How do I import my css so it load that instead of the garland type calendar view.

I am transferring our old html site to a drupal based site. We have 3 years of sermons. I want to upload these sermons and pick them when I choose these files in a cck field. I know you can choose FILEfield to upload files or audio field is there any added functionality that can be added by choosing files on a server. Which module will do that? Will I have to upload them all?

So, here is what is special about a church directory, families. In a business directory you just have one entity and their listing. In a church directory you may have 5 or 6 people, each with their own unique account, needing to be displayed as one entry.

What you really need is a block with a family photo, then names of each person, then contact info. What to do...

A module I haver had success with capturing additional information at checkout for a product such as 'attendee name' is the Ubercart module : Extra Fields Pane - http://www.ubercart.org/project/uc_extra_fields_pane .

Does anyone out there use the Parish Data Systems (PDS) suite of software? (http://www.parishdata.com/)

We use it at our church to manage all of our parishioner data (specifically, the Church Office application), and were wondering if anyone has ever tried to establish some kind of link between the PDS database and Drupal. Specifically, we'd like to be able to allow parishioners to create accounts on our Drupal site -- but only parishioners. For example, if account creation could be verified against a parishioner listing in the PDS database (or, more likely, an exported set of data from the master PDS database) in some way, that would allow us to know that all authenticated Drupal users are actually parishioners in our church.

I'd like to set up a system on our church website for members so I and the leadership can post tasks that need to be done, and members can "claim" that task. It should allow for repeating tasks and allow members to choose to do it once or ongoing. I'm wondering whether a classifieds system would work. Other suggestions?

Does anyone know of a way in the create content section to have two columns I have never seen it, but need to be able to do it. Thanks
