Hi,
I am looking to convert my existing website over to Drupal in the near furure and having spoken to a friend who is a bit of a whizz with drupal, I have a couple of questions.
I'll be using siteground to host the test site and they will be pre installing drupal for me.
The modules I will definitely be needing from the start are:
CCK
Taxonomy
Ubercart

Is there a correct order to apply/install modules like CCK, Ubercart and Taxonomy? I have read in places that issues have come up if these are not installed in a certain order.
I don't know how true this is or what effect installing them in the "wrong" order may have so I thought I'd come to the source for clarification.
I just want to get things right from the start so I don't waste time and effort only to have to start over.

Thanks

Guns

There is a dependency check for each module so you can install all of them at once. Those issues were with ubercart if I am not wrong but now everything is fine

Hi,

I'm pretty sure order doesn't matter unless a module tells you to use a certain order.
Personally i'd install those in this order:
1) Taxonomy
2) CCK
3) Ubercart

Cheers
Tom

If a module "requires" another module, then (a) you won't be able to enable the first module in the admin/build/modules page unless the second one is present and (b) the second module will be enabled automatically if it is present. So, you don't need to worry about this.

If a module "can use, if present" another "recommended" module, then you may need to install and enable the second one first, to be sure, but that depends on the details of the first module's installation documentation.

It is always safe to install and enable all the required and your selected recommended modules before ubercart. They are listed in:
http://drupal.org/project/ubercart
http://www.ubercart.org/docs/user/3313/installing_ubercart
