social networking

Hey Everyone!

Wanted to introduce myself, and hopefully get some answers to a couple questions.

I'm a drupal newbie, however I am familiar with basic PHP, and customizing scripts. I currently have a phpnuke site @ www.street-hustle.com however I'm finding it limited. And would like to move onto something more flexible and secure. Here's my goals, if you could point me where I need to go that would be great.

I'm looking to create a Genre specific Artist Community, that offers revenue sharing through banner ads.

Primary Features wanted are:

I've found MyBlogLog to be a useful tool for promoting a site and gaining new sources of site visitors.

I've created a MyBlogLog module to simplify the task of adding MyBlogLog support to a Drupal-based site. You can check it out here:

http://drupal.org/project/mybloglog

If you have any experience with MyBlogLog and building site traffic, let's talk about it here!

If like me you are not new to PHP, Web development or CMSs but new to Drupal and hoping to build a website with complex user profiles you may be looking for that killer link that documents putting modules like nodeprofile and usernode through their paces.

Does anyone know the URL of that tutorial, or anything even remotely like it?

Thanks in advance :-)

I was checking out www.tagworld.com. I think it would be tough, but does anybody even know how to BEGIN making a dynamic profile generator like they use? That would be invaluable for admins, I'm sure.

Basically, TagWorld lets users create a profile using on-the-fly blocks to litter a page. It's very fast-moving and results in really customizable pages. It's probably one of the best page-making set-ups I've seen for any site, period.

EDIT: Live Spaces (http://spaces.live.com) uses the same sort of system.

I've been thinking about some of the specifics of creating a personal workspace within Drupal -- although my main area of interest is education, these thoughts have applications outside education -- these are some rough notes, and I'm curious to see/hear reactions about what I'm missing/overlooking. These notes are not intended to be comprehensive, but a starting point in a conversation about some specific functionality

Some basic functionality--

To accomplish this, I was thinking about some integration between BuddyList (http://drupal.org/project/buddylist) and the ACL (http://drupal.org/project/acl) or NodeAccess (http://drupal.org/project/nodeaccess)module -- members of a user’s Buddylist can be used to form an access control list on a node by node basis-- I’m leaning toward the ACL module as I think a generalized API that can be used by other modules provides some advantages long term. However, was the ACL module designed to work primarily with roles, or with individual users?

Hi everybody,

While making my research about Drupal profile solutions, I was pointed to the following site:
http://www.goingon.com

I was shocked after surfing the site. This site is powered by Drupal and it's amazing! WOW!!!

I want that our BB project will have such full featured profile like in goingon.com. Does anyone have any clue which profile module this site is using? What are the other modules of that site?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Hi there,

Can anyone post here links for examples of Drupal social networking sites?

Thanks.

In the buddylist.info file I put the buddylist.module into the "Social networking" package. Is this a good classification of it, and what other modules would fit into the same package?

From buddylist.info:

Invite and FOAF would definitely fall into this group. How about OG?

The buddylist module has been updated for Drupal 5.0. Please test the module and report bugs that you find to the issue queue.

The module is maintained by myself, Wolfgang Ziegler, and Josh Koenig.
