Tutorial Topic Suggestions

The tutorials section isn't up and running yet but it'd be great to know what tutorial topics or specific tutorials people would like to see on the site.

So if there's a part of Drupal you really stuggle with or you just know a topic you think would help others out there suggest it below (by commenting).

is there any feature of creating communities in drupalsn.i want to say that can a user create or join sub-communities in drupalsn. if yes then a tutorial regarding this should be there.

Hi,
Do you mean using groups as communities? once the user base is built up i'm planning to add groups functionality, so i can write a tutorial on that then if that's what you mean?
thanks for the suggestion, keep them coming i've added some theming tutorials today see the tutorials section of the site!

By mainebob on Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Hi Tom, Nice work... and I'd love to see at least one forum here so that we can post... with specifics about DSN.... For example, how soon can we use this with Drupal 6.... I have a new project that we've already started with D6 and see that some of the modules used for this site done with D5 have not yet been ported.

Hi! Thanks for the comments

Hi!
Thanks for the comments (and shout)! a forum is a great idea, so i'll add it to the pending features list. Should be a nice feature once the user base has grown!
Regarding Drupal 6 i was going to get all the bugs out the Drupal 5 then upgrade ASAP.
Keep the suggestions coming and thanks again!

I was wondering if anyone knew a good chat/IM module?
I tried BoWob...and it was a bit unsuccessful. I'm working with Drupal 6.0

By omnyx on Friday, August 29, 2008

I think a good, comprehensive tutorial on drupal's private file system handling is lacking (not just here but in drupal community in general).
Some interesting questions:
1. How to set up private files?
2. What to do if the setting is changed after the files have been uploaded or if host has been changed?
3. What modules work/don't work well with private files?
4. Quantitatively, what are downsides of using private files and why we should or should not care about it?
5. Alternatives to private files, some .htaccess tricks maybe
etc...

I've seen many people battle with these issues so I'd love to have an expert share words of wisdom on this Smiling

Thanks for all the

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, i've added them to the "todo" list and will get writing ASAP.
I'm not so hot on the private file system, so if someone else wanted to take a look at that and point me in the right direction that would be great!
thanks again

Hi DrupalSN admin, I am new

By mnzava on Tuesday, September 2, 2008

Hi DrupalSN admin,
I am new to drupal and so far i have seen some good tutorials but i couldint find a tutorial for what i was looking for. So i guess some people might want the same tutorial.
The following is what am looking for.

1. To have one top story with image stick at the top and embed related news in a bullet format just below it. like in the http://www.cnn.com/US/
2. To have news image slide show like in the following site http://www.nwsource.com/ in the DAILY HABIT area (those images with their news contents)
3. I need to know how to make ajax tabs like in the http://www.nwsource.com/ in the FREE SPEECH area (those FORUM and REVIEW tabs)
4. How can i accomplish news title and teaser with corresponding image thumbnails like in the following site http://www.nwsource.com/ in the DON'T MISS area. Such that image thumbnail is on the left and title & teaser on the right side where by contents dont go below image.
5. How to put photo description like in the cnn website http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/01/obama.palin/index.html?iref=m...

6. How to set a block to show popular news.

I hope one day i'll see a tutorial for these issues here because in drupal site i couldn't find any.

Regards,
Mnzava

Hi everyone: I am NOT a

By Husainsn on Monday, September 29, 2008

Hi everyone:
I am NOT a Drupal programmer. I run a charity. I self taught myself to create my current web site, pretty basic but it does the job. I am thinking of new site with feature to permit user to create their personal page for personal donation goal. User can invite friends and get pledges which shows up in a thermometer like gauge. It is like a personal campaign. My questions are:
1. Are there any modules in Drupal to do these tasks? Do you know of site doing that?
2. Will large number of user pages cause problem at site?
My knowledge is limited, so please have patience. Thank.
