Hey guys, I have no programming experiance what so ever. So i thought I would ask some advice about a website that I would to build, that has a bit of functionality built into it. For this webiste there will be two differant users, I will name then user1 and user2. I would like user1 to be able to create an account and provide me with basic information. Name, email... etc. Also i would user1 to choose from various categories, eg sports, business... etc Plus also be able to go and edit information as well. User 2 will also create an account, but with more functions. I would like user 2 to be able to send user1 information on a particular categorie that user1 has checked when creating there acccount. For example, 5000 user1's have created an account. There is three categories to choose from. sports / internet / games Every user1 has checked every catergorie. Now user2 comes along and wants to send information to anyone that has checked sports and nothing else. Questions is how hard would be to put something together that would be able to differantiate between all the categories? I know this might not make any sense. But all i would like user 2 to be able to do is end information to the user1's who would like to receive information about what they have chosen? Any advice would be appreciated. You know if i am dreaming to try and do this by my self or, i might be able to put some thing like this together. I can build static websites, and have done so. But would like to tackle something a little bigger. Thanks in advance. Timbor.
I think you need to learn Drupal ( Drupal.org ). This is pretty good Content Management System (CMS) and has all means you need. I advice you to install Drupal 5.1 with default theme and try to turn it as you need. That's enough easy, I believe. Anyway there are tons of manuals and examples on drupal.org Cheers!
Pruad, Thanks for that, Ill check it out. I was thinking that i might have to do it all manually, i would like it all to be as instant as possible. But we shall see. Thanks again.
