Code or configurations to build a litle web system
Hi, I´m new to Drupal, I want to build a litle web system with drupal 7, I think that it is a good idea to use Drupal instead of a Php framework (like cakePHP, or even symfony), because drupal already has authentication , themes, roles and a lot of features and modules ready to use, and I would like to take advantage of that. What I want to do is a simple web site where two kind of users (client and taxi) can signup/login. The client can select a taxi and send a request, so a taxi will reach the client and do a service for him. At this point I have unclear how to proceed on next points: -After creating 2 roles (client and taxi), how do I customize the signup form in order to get taxi information and client information, and save that in database? -How do I get and list of Taxi users and show it to Client users?, in a Form or some way that Client users can perform a service request to a selected Taxi user? -It is clear that some entity/class/thing, maybe called ServiceRequest, needs to exist, so Client and Taxi users knows that some service request exists and, for example, the Taxi user can accept the request or reject it. and as a more general question, Do I need to code in order to build this litle project? or there already exists modules/tools that I can use to build the site. Thanks in advance !
HI Daniel, What all features you want to have in your site will be easily done because of Drupal's rich contributing community. Initially what you can do in first start exploring the various modules and their functionality and how to use them and you can do google for that , you will get hell lot tutorial and information regarding that. As far as creating roles and specific features of information submission you can use 'webform' module , this will take care of your all basic features. Good luck.!

and as a more general question,
Do I need to code in order to build this litle project? or there already exists modules/tools that I can use to build the site.
Thanks in advance !

Hi Daniel: Your requeriments are very specific, I think you need to code a couple of modules for get the kind of functionality do you want. Always Remember there is a gap between the what the Framework/CMS/whatever can do with all stuff and what you really want to do, your job is eliminate the gap. In drupal for example you can use the hook_login for redirect the users with the rol of "clients" for example to /uid/url-client/ and the users with the rol of "taxy" of another one /uid/url-taxy/ And you can make a kind of dashboard for this roles, with a view of this tickets or requests pending for the taxy and a form for make a request in the dashboard of the client. Maybe, is just and idea. Regards, Roberto García Am 27.08.2013 07:28, schrieb daniel echalar:
