Hello,

I come here because I don't know where I must start my research and learnings. Sure questions has already been posted for this, but as a Drupas newbie, I fail to find the informations because of a lack of vocabulary surely -_-
I'm a php coder, think I will have to look at triggers, hooks, drupal API, creating modules if needed, and I'm not afraid by template and coding stuffs, but I'm looking for an entry point ....

To train me I'm making a recipes website. I want advanced functionalities, such as : add this recipe to my recipe book, add this ingredient to my shopping list ( no fun without challenge ^^)

Let's start with a "simple" case :
- I'm a connected user
- I see a recipe I like ( not one of my recipes )
- there is a button : add to my recipe book
- this add the recipe to my recipe book ... with a reference, or a copy of content, I don't care for this training exercice

Can you help me to find what steps I have to learn to succeed in it ? Mostly adding my own event : clic on this button do that

Thanks for your help and "bravo" to the Drupal community :-)

Hi Fanny,

Have you looked at the Flag module? It allows you to create flags (which work as tags), attach them to nodes/users or anything else really and then your users may tag content with them.

I've used it to create a Bookmark this and Report inappropriate content before so the module offers a lot of flexibility. It also integrates well with Views -- which is a subsystem most sites tend to use that's not in core, so I suggest you take a look at that as well.

Here's a screencast that should help you get started.
