hi i'm using drupal 6. In my user page i want to show latest activities related to user interest. interest means terms that user participated (forum topics, articles, polls..). Can any one know the best way to do it.
For ex : stackoverflow shows questions related user participated tags.
This sounds like something you might be able to do using the Flag terms module (http://drupal.org/project/flag_terms). This is a module that complements the much acclaimed Flag module (http://drupal.org/project/flag_terms), by allowing you to flag certain taxonomy terms. You can use views (http://drupal.org/project/views) to display lists of user flagged content.

I have a company content type being used on a website-in-progress. Companies consist of a company name, name sorting mechanism, logo image and URL. I have a requirement to show companies taking part in different use cases in various parts of the website.
Challenge:
In the past I used a company content type for a "corporate members" list on a page, also assigning a "member level" field. But then, companies started being listed as event sponsors with specifics for what they were sponsoring, also with different membership levels in a "corporate giving club". It was messy while added/included in the old company content type. It caused confusion for content editors and developers.
Possible Solution:
In other content types, create compound fields such as "Sponsors", "Corporate members", "Donors", select lists with company entities, or sponsorship detail text areas with company entities. That may keep companies flexible and not messy (keeping company just a company).
Progress:
I found the Double field module, splitting core fields up into two separate parts. This is almost what I'm looking for, providing compound field sets. However, it won't allow references to be selected and is out of the scope of this project per this issue. I'm finding a lot of Drupal 7 examples, but not much Drupal 8 yet.
I'm starting to dig into the examples for developers module for inspiration and will post a solution unless you beat me to it. I'm also open to alternative ideas.
What is the best way to proceed? Specific code examples are not required. I would accept clues that lead me to a final working solution.
The solution turned out to be simpler than creating a custom module.
The Field Collection module allowed for the simple creation of compound fields containing any number and most (if not all) field types, including reference fields. It's also available as a Drupal 8 module (alpha at the time of writing, seems to work fine).
In our company I have to extend the functionality of existing Drupal 7 website. Here are the requirements:
The business needs to inform all staff members, on different topics using uploaded to the Drupal site documents. (I already implemented this requirement.)
The business needs to know, which staff members have read a document and which still have not.
They need a report like this:
Document 1 25/50 (25 from 50 staff members still didn't read the file)
Document 2 50/50 (all staff members did read the file), etc.
In order to fulfill the second business requirement, I need a module which can track specific user's activity (in my case click on a link to download a file, which means the file is read). The module(s) have to be able to create a report like the one above.
(All staff members have a drupal account with a specific role.)
Is there any drupal module I can use or maybe a part of it. Or the requirements are too 'custom' and I have to create my own module.
I created almost exactly the feature you need. I would be glad to help you in the process.
I developed indeed a full custom module. And I could tell you that you will need different things:
A custom table in your DB to store the data
A custom entity called "track" or "action" that will be stored in the DB
Implementing the right hooks to create a track when you want to keep a track of a user's action
A custom page or block to display the tracks you stored in your DB with a custom query and appropriated permissions
To achieve all that, I suggest you to take a look at these pieces of documentation:
https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!system!system.api.php/function/hook_schema/7
https://www.drupal.org/node/878784

I'm sorry if this is not within the acceptable question guidelines for Stack Overflow, but I am feeling stumped, and I feel that what I'm trying to do might just be incredibly simple for some of the veterans here.
I've set up an Ubercart on a Drupal installation for a small gym website. What they are wanting is to allow a customer to register and pay for various memberships for their children (youth flag football, teeball, etc.). One person may come back and sign up multiple times throughout the year, and each customer may have multiple children who can each participate in multiple programs.
What I'm thinking is to disable anonymous checkout on Ubercart. The customer billing address will be the saved information for the "parent." I'm thinking that the parents could create Members (their children) which could be stored in a content type called Members and the Members could be linked to the programs of which they are a member via entity reference. The children could maintain their relationship to their parents by authorship.
I've been trying to work through this for the last few hours. Does anyone know of a way the I can accomplish this--maybe with rules? I'm thinking some kind of credit system in which for each quantity of a membership (per program) that they pay for, they get one "credit" to create one entity reference between a member and a program.
Any brainstorming and help on this topic would be majorly appreciated. Thanks.
Your use case sounds more like event registration than selling memberships. Each class would be an event that parents would register their children for. It may seem like overkill here, but I would use something like CiviCRM or RedHen CRM for this. Both support the concept of relationships between members and provide event management tools. You could make each class an event that people would sign up for, pay (they could even register multiple children at the same time) and get a receipt. The event history information would be stored so parents could sign in and see what each child has done. You could even make the list of kids in the class public so parents could see who else is in the class.
Afterward, it would be easy to put together a survey to send to the "attendees" to get feedback on the event/class and notify them about future events. I can think of a dozen different things that these systems cover that you may need in the future (early bird event registration, special pricing for returning parents/children, activity reports to email to parents every year so they can see what their children did...).
You may be able to pull together modules and custom content types (Ubercart Event Registration module as a starting point), but a CRM would provide the things you are looking for now, and the features your customer will be asking for in the future.
I am a relatively noobe on Drupal and I have hit a problem with Views that I've not been able to resolve by Googling and reading similar questions here.
I have ten pages in a content type "Book". I want to encourage users to read all of ten pages. My intention was to create a View that listed specifically for each user which pages they had opened.
I can create a View and produce a list of the pages.
I can filter the list on Content statistics: Total views (>= 1) to produce a list of pages that have been opened.
--- So far this works predictably and produces the same correct list for three roles: admin, anonymous and logged in user.
My difficulty is setting up the filter for current user. I am aware that the filter for current user does not come up until a relationship is set up. I have not been able to figure out the correct relationship to make a simple logged in user appear in the filter without being attached to author.
For further clarification, if it is relevant, the content type is the default book content type.
I would be grateful if anyone could steer me in the right direction
I don't think the content statistics (Total views) keeps a count PER user.
Is there a statistic for instance "visited pages" for users. Because you could match that url with the current url.
Guys I want to craete a list of users called Suggested users or users you may know for a particular user,i have a field called Area of interest in user account,so i wuld like to list users who have same value for Area of interest field with current users, I am not very good at relationship and contextual filters
if i understand you, you should have a look at the
http://drupal.org/project/views
module.
This module provides a list of users, nodes, +++
Filters can easylie clicked.
