Last update: September 5, 2008 Since this site is meant to demo the social networking ability of Drupal, I am including the ingredients for building a site like this. I plan to offer recipes as well, but that will likely be a few months away after I convert to D6. The site is currently on Drupal 5.x as a lot of the modules I use aren't ready for 6.x, yet. The theme I'm using is Bluebreeze. Here is the current list of major modules in use on this site roughly grouped by category. USERS & PROFILES FORUMS & COMMENTING IMAGE HANDLING GENERAL INTERACTIVITY UTILITY ADMINISTRATION This tar file has them all as well as their dependency modules for easy grabbing. I strongly recommend running update_status if you use it as I'm sure at least one of these modules will be out of date by the time you download it. I'll update it from time to time but this is not an official repository and I offer no support for the modules in it nor do I guarantee they are secure. It is provided as a quick way to download them only and you are responsible for checking that they are current. As an experiment, I've also attached a sanitized version of the database for this site. I make no guarantees that it will be useful or even work if you stick it with the modules tar, but it's worth a shot. ;)

When I clicked the link on the attachment , it brought me to: http://socnet.shellmultimedia.com/files/sn/files/ssnp_modules_080116.tar. Instead of starting the downloading process, it showed an HTML page, with the error message "page not found."
Hmm... Weird... Maybe it got lost in the server move. The modules would be horribly out of date, anyway, since that's over a month old. I need to do a new one. I'm pretty swamped right now so can't give this place much attention. Maybe once I get the advforum alphas out later this week.

Where is the tutorial? I wanted to know how to build this kind of site.
Can u send me complete tutorial to babylon2233@gmail.com
There isn't any tutorial for the site. I've given the list of modules used and even updated the list tonight so it's all up to date. BTW, posting this in 3 different places including a private message is rather over the top.

Sorry for behaviour, I really intersting on this thing. Just i need to install all those thing?
If you want a site exactly like this, those are the modules I'm using. You need to define the specs for your site and figure out what you need to achieve that functionality. That's what web development is all about.
Michelle
get my entire site to post comment like this. i have the adv forum but what about the rest?
It's an option in the dev version. I run the dev on here to give it real world testing.

Michelle,
Thanks for posting your module choices.
I intend to establish the functionality I want then go for a theme.
Two questions:
What books should I read to understand how to use all this and,
Now that I've installed the modules, where should I start?
I just want a site where people can interact in the ways that are common in "social networking" sites. I'm about to go through the process of establishing requirements. Following that, I will be able to say, exactly, what I'm aiming for but,
is there somewhere, some module, that I should start working with first? Right now, it feel that I'm looking at a blizzard of things to do and I don't know how they are interconnected and where I should begin.
Thanks!
