Hi Everybody

I am using Postnuke and would like to change to Drupal.

Does Drupal have a Database module like Postnuke? I am not talking about the Drupal Database Admin module which allows editing of Drupal database tables. I am talking about letting users create their own database tables for their own use.

Postnuke Database module allows users (depending on their assigned permissions) to create, edit or just view databases (more accurately database tables). This is very useful for storing information in a database and allowing users to view it.

Postnuke also has a UpDownload module which is useful to store programs and documents in a block where users can go to when they need to download these programs/documents. Admin users will do the uploading of files. Something like a FileManager, but with category, no of download counters, comments, etc., functions.

Drupal seems to have much lesser modules than Postnuke.

But I like Drupal because it has better documentation.

Sounds like you might be talking about a module like flexinode (http://drupal.org/project/flexinode). It is couched in terms of allowing different types of content and users with the right permissions can define "content" types - these are then stored in the database. It might not have as much flexibility as the Postnuke option but it works pretty well.

I missed a module for providing files without having to upload them with http. Allso no modules afaik provided download counting.
My module provides ftp uploads, download counting and keeps track of the time for the last download of each published file.
Other than that the file is treated like any other node you can add taxonomy etc to it.
The downside is that it's not finished yet, and I've made it for v 4.7 (the new forms api)
Please contact me if your interested in trying out the beta version.
To see the module in action check out my site at http://www.zbz5.net/taxonomy/term/8
