I am planning to build a College website which is like a Social Networking website using Drupal 7. How do I proceed achieving the functionality of a Social Networking Website like Facebook for instance. Are there any prebuilt theme that I can make use of or Do I need to hand code to achieve the desired functionality?

Also , if an ecommerce website like a cafe with all the products and listings and the option to receive orders online and payment through different means is possible in Drupal. I know of Ubercart which is handy but kind of confused how to proceed . What should be the ideal workflow . Kindly provide some valuable suggestions .

Regards ,

CJ

Drupal by itself does not provide functionality out of the box. The answer to this question would be huge.

Instead of that, you would try to use installation profiles(mainly under D6), which will give you out of the box functionality:
Installation profiles

Drupal Commons is an excelent social networking installation profile.

Thanks for your input francort. Highly appreciate it . Well the answer lies in building customised modules and getting into the backend with PHP .

thanks.
