Hello all,

I am new to Drupal and I'm very excited to be apart of the community and the incredible possibilities that lie ahead. I am not a developer, I am not a coder and am using my MAMP sandbox to help conceptualize a prototype site in Drupal (mostly by reading and applying). I'd appreciate some direction or insight for what I'm trying to accomplish.

- I've set up my user registration using content profile, so I collect demographic and consumer information at sign-up.

- I would like to give my users the ability to view content and then rate & answer a few questions about the content.

- Once the users rating & opinions are collected on the content, I'd like to display the statistics on each "question" (w/ pie charts and map data) and have them sorted by demographics and consumer info. These "live reports" would be viewable by another set of users with proper permissions.

- I am expecting to have quite a large user base and a lot of content to be rated and reviewed.

Is webform the ideal tool to collect this information for content? Or should I be dealing with CCK? Any execution solutions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you for you time.

Hi there, sorry for the long delay in getting a reply here. Support requests in the Webform queue are quite unmanageable. Using the description from the project page of Webform, I would say that Webform may not be suitable for your purposes. Webform is intended to be a many-to-few communications mechanism, not a system for submitting reviews that are viewable by other normal users.

However if you mean the "set of users with proper permissions", is either: A) a global admin or B) the user that created the node, Webform may work out for you. From reading your other posts, I'd suggest you try using the 3.x development version, since the forms you'll be creating may need to be attached to multiple different content types (blogs, polls, videos, etc.)

Due to the age of this issue, I'm closing it directly. Please reopen if you have further questions.
