using the group module with web-form and content creator - drupal

I have a drupal application that uses the group module to share nodes of a custom content type.
I recently discovered web-form and would like to use it to re-design screens to enter/edit new nodes of this custom content type.
I used the content creator module to build the screen and create the custom content nodes automatically. Each new custom content node corresponds to a new submission in my web-form.
My challenge is porting my existing framework to sharing the submissions.
Is there a way to add a submission to the groups in the framework/application i already have?
If not, how to I share web-form submissions?

Adding a customised listing section to a WordPress page

I’m fairly new to building customised templates in WordPress and would appreciate any suggestions.
In our WordPress website, we have a section ‘Members’ built using Custom Post Type UI & Advanced Custom Fields plugins, which renders similar to a listing. In the back-end the Marketing Coordinator goes to the Member section and ‘adds a new Member’ then entering the name, image and description. The member, when published, then appears on the members page Templated page.
The page is templated to Members, in the Members template a flexible layout is referenced, that is then referencing individual members.
Individual members > flexible layout > Member template.
I would like to copy this design for an awards section, so that it is easy for copy editors to input the copy.
The only problem is that the flexible and repeater fields are no longer used on the Advance Custom Fields.
So I need to find a solution to an already built section that I will be able to add and remove, plus custom sort, before updating the plugin and build another section in the same way.
It seems to now be available in the Pro version, which when reading the documentation for the free version states that flexible and repeater is deprecated! Not available in Pro!

Drupal Webform vs Content Type vs Custom Module ? Which way should I go with?

I am trying to build a "small system" through which the register users (organizations) will be able to fill a form (Questionnaire). The data that the users have filled should appear on a chart for the administrator to analyze. The user can only submit the data just once but they can update it.
The problem that I have faced is the fact that Webform module is not integrated with views. Content type doesn't truly reflect the structure since the content type always contain a title .
Am I only left with the option of building a custom module? Any references for something similar ....
Your can use the Profile 2 module for Drupal 7: http://drupal.org/project/profile2
You can integrate profile fields with Views as it says under its features section on the description page: "You may use Views and/or the Search API to provide listings or searches for profiles."

How to load form filter module only on certain node type in Drupal admin?

I would like to load form filter module in drupal admin only on certain node types.
My goal is to exclude form filtering from profile content type (because it is in conflict with Content profile module).
Any suggestion?
This is not possible as the node form alteration is hard-coded in the module. Here is an issue related to this - http://drupal.org/node/332073. However, if you are not averse to editing the module, then you can achieve it. The code is in hook_form_alter of formfilter_ui module.

Drupal Content Type field for spreadsheet

I am working on a Rental Home Listing website, where "Rental Home" is a content type with CCK fields.
I want to add a new field called 'Maintenance Log', which will be accessible only to the administrators and will be used to keep track of all maintenance work done on a home; it would have some functionalities a spreadsheet has.
I have already tried SheetNode & table types, but I ran into issues. Can anyone suggest a better alternative to implement this?
I would recommend using the node_reference module which ships with CCK so all you have to do is enable it.
you would then create a new content type for maintenance logs, add a node_reference field to it that can reference nodes of type "Rental Home".
when someone has performed maintenance work on a home they would simply create a new maintenance log and use the reference field to reference the house in question.
then you can display these in a suitable way, using Views or the like.
if you'd like you can use the content access module to handle who can view the maintencene logs. you should also look at the content permissions module which also ships with CCK, it will allow you to specify access to specific CCK fields instead of the entire content type.

Drupal 6 custom career posting module

I'm attempting to build module that allows a user access to manage jobs/departments and post them to our website. It will also allow end users to apply for a given position.
The hierarchy is as follows:
About Us Page (standard drupal page)
-Careers (overview with list of all openings)
-Department Pages (if one or more jobs are available, they'll be displayed here)
-Individual Job posting with form to submit resume
I am currently using two custom tables for jobs and departments.
I have all the administration (CRUD) stuff working just fine -- my question lies in the 'drupal' way of integrating the department pages and individual career pages.
Should I create a custom content type that stores all the job/department data in the node? Or should I keep with my custom tables and integrate with the Path module to setup all the department pages and the application page? Also, what would be the best way to integrate the job application form into the module?
I appreciate any help!
You could create a custom node type for jobs and then create a taxonomy vocabulary for careers with terms for departments inside it so that you can then assign the taxonomy terms to a job. That would be very quick and easy to do.
This also means that you could output nice categorised breadcrumbs using the Custom Breadcrumbs module. Custom Breadcrumbs contains a submodule called Custom Breadcrumbs Taxonomy so you could output career/department information in the breadcrumbs.
You could also use Pathauto to output nicely structured SEO friendly URLS using this method.
Edited to say that with this method you could use Views to show taxonomy term specific lists simply by enabling the taxonomy term View, so you could show all openings at www.example.com/careers and all departmental openings at www.example.com/careers/department-name.
