I'm building a Drupal website. It's for a coming and important event(symposium) at yhe university. Every participant of the event must paid it. The organization wants to use Paypal.
I'm new in Drupal 7. I need a secure and nice module to works with Paypal. I found two interesting modules on the Internet but I don't know what could be the best ?
Drupal Commerce.
Ubercart.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot.
I would suggest drupal commerce. Integrating paypal will be easy. You can find the contrib module at https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce_paypal .
And moreover drupal commerce provides much more flexibility in dealing with ecommerce platform.

I would like to display a list of available Moodle courses and available places for each of the corses on a Drupal site.
Is there a simple way of integrating Moodle and Drupal so that when a Max enrolled users is set in Moodle, the Drupal enrolment form witll display the number of available places, and disable the ability of users enrolling in to courses which have no places left?
There is authentication plugin available moodle-drupalservices for SSO between both systems
You can read more about it from module document
If you want to fetch detail of moodle courses in drupal then web service is the best way to achieve it, you just need to create web services client in drupal to consume moodle services
http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Category:Web_Services
use core_course_get_courses web service function don't need to pass any value to it, it will fetch all available courses detail from moodle.
There is a module for moodle integration in drupal - Moodle Connector. There are some other related module to which enhance the integration further like Commerce Moodle, which let you sell the course & you get drupal commerce to handle your selling..great right?
But if you are working in D6, then you will have to check another module Moodleconnect, but it's still in DEV version, so may be you will have to work on it.
https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/moodle_views will allow you to list courses using a Drupal View. This module doesn't (yet) allow you to display the places available, but if you still need this functionality I could probably add it relatively easily.
I'm building an estimate for a potential client. I'll do some more research if I get the project, but need some ideas for now. I'm trying to figure out a good solution that won't take several months to develop but will still provide good flexibility for future enhancements.
My options I believe are:
cms+e-commerce plugin (e.g. drupal+ubercart)
e-commerce platform that is extendable (e.g. magento)
framework+e-commerce platform (e.g. ci+magento)
cms+e-commerce (e.g. wordpress+magento)
The site will be similar to etsy where users can have items that they sell with their own portfolio page. The client wants to add many custom features as well. Also, the site will serve up a lot of images and audio.
I'm concerned that using strictly a e-commerce platform will give me a lot of obstacles to overcome rather than use just a cart+framework. I know Magento is written on Zend, but while I have used Magento, I'm not very familiar with Zend and it seems to take quite a while to learn.
I have never used ubercart,wp e-commerce, or virtuemart, so I'm not sure of the limitations. The products will not need to be configurable. But we will need to store financial information. I'm thinking braintree's vault or authorize.net cim.
I'd like to do the framework+ecommerce platform route. But the client would also like a lower price option, I'm leaning towards drupal+ubercart.
Just would like some opinions from personal experience.
Thanks!
If you use drupal and ubercart in future please read the book http://www.usingdrupal.com/ Using drupal by reading its chapter of ubercart you can easily create e-commerce website after reading this book ubercart chapter within a day . There is a book which is completely wriiten on ubercart https://www.packtpub.com/drupal-e-commerce-ubercart-2x/book. These both books will be very helpful to you for ubercart.
I've just created an e-commerce store with Wordpress and using the plugin Jigoshop for the ecommerce.
We use Wordpress as our CMS for all our clients and we've also branded it via plugins so there's no mention of Wordpress, it just acts like OUR cms.
Jigoshop is very easy to incorporate, it can be used very easily straight out of the box but as our site was very bespoke we tailored a lot of it just by using CSS. Very easy to use and comes complete with everything you need.
I tried various other ecommerce plugins for WP but they were quite difficult to tailor.
All really straightforward providing you have a basic grasp of HTML, CSS and PHP.
I worked with wordpress and some free open source commerce plug-ins. This was really a pain! I ended up programming my own low scale solution. Later I also worked with ubercart and drupal. The latter was one of my most motivating experiences with drupal. I found that drupal with ubercart can do everything what i and my customer wanted. I strongly recommend drupal...but i've never worked with magento...
I think wordpress is enough because wordpress is now a biggest platform in wordpress with millions of plugins oops sorry not millions, billions of plugins you just have to find a plugin which suits to you and your site content well for e commerce i recommend e-shop 5.0 its a great plugin.
Could somebody tell me which drupal module is this site using: http://gallery.menalto.com/forum
Also could somebody tell me how it'd be if I use it on my new site for forum discussion for 2000 people daily? I'm looking for simple discussion forum with following functionality:
Easy maintenance
I should be able to easily remove spammy user posts
Some sort of spam prevention.
I'd be using Drupal-6 and not 7.
Yes, the link you provide is the Drupal forum.
Drupal isn't exactly famous for its forum - some sites even use third party forums which are bridged to Drupal.
Nonetheless, the most "direct" and easy-to-maintain forum for Drupal would probably be Drupal itself.
You can use Mollum for spam prevention.
The third-party forums primarily distinguish themselves in offering granular privileges to moderators of specific forums. If you don't need this, I'd stick with the Drupal forum module.
Notice also Erik Ahlswede's answer here - in addition to the standard Drupal Forum, it appears to be running the Advanced Forum module, which provides some of the extra functionalities - however, as Michele notes, it this isn't actually the Advanced Forum module, it's some hacks which provide similar functionalities.
No, they aren't using Advanced Forum. They are using Drupal's forum but heavily customized. They customized their forum before AF even existed, back in D5. If their changelog is accurate, they haven't upgraded.
That said, if you want a site that looks like that, AF will get you pretty close. With 2K people daily, do you mean visitors or active posters? One thing you need to watch out for is performance as Drupal's forum has a couple nasty queries and AF has them as well since it builds on top.
For a bit of trivia... I actually came to Drupal when looking for something to let me add text to my Gallery 2 site and their forum was an inspiration for AF in the early days. :)

That may be the Advanced Forum module. It extends Drupals core module and adds ways to create forum themes.
I need a help in new user registration with payment option with 2/3 types of user, Please tell which is the good module/method.
First you need to install ubercart module for Drupal.
Then take a look at this
Hope this helps!
You need to use http://drupal.org/project/ubercart module. It is an e-commerce solution for Drupal. Its easy to learn how to use it. Google for tutorials.
Using Ubercart Roles module you can "Assign permanent or expirable roles based on product purchases"
Its also a good idea to use a Ubercart Installation Profile see: http://drupal.org/project/uberdrupal
I had the most success with lm_paypal. Ubercart did the job, but the management overhead was too much - I just needed a way to sign up subscribers, give them their subscription period, remind them when their subscription is almost up, and use Paypal as the payment gateway. There was no need to install a full-fledged commerce system if this is all you're going to do. If you need a full-fledged commerce system, then Ubercart is definitely the go-to suite.
Is there any module which can be used with Drupal 6.x for adding E-commerce especially to sell things like video, audio, e-books.
There is one old module for Drupal 5.x called Quickfile. Is there anything new like this?
Or what are modules required to achieve above stuffs.
Ubercart is highly recommended for Drupal 6.x.
Definitely Ubercart. There are dozens of payment plugins available. It includes the ability to sell any kind of files securely by associating them with products that the customer gets access to upon a successful checkout.
There are also some add-ons for doing things like selling license keys, if that is relevant for your needs. Modules for it can be found on both Ubercart.org and drupal.org.
