Hi All
I am building a website for a conference and is in need for a few hints for modules. I am no Drupal expert, but I have a good general knowledge about website programming, databases and quite a few other CMS's. I am not keen on doing any programming myself though, due to time constraints on the project.
I would like hints to which modules (or perhaps core functionality) could help me create the following functionality:
- People can sign up as users on the site (core functionality)
- Users can "sign up" for the conference (let's call those users attending users) when they have already created a user - the fields in this sign up should be customizable.
- Attending users can create events for the programme which needs to be approved by organisers and can be set in specific time.
- Overview of the events in the programme.
- Attending users can sign up for specific programm items (not as critical)
Can anyone tell me in brief outlines which modules I need for this - and which version of Drupal (I have been looking at some of the modules and it seems that there are quite a few modules not upgraded to version 6 of Drupal). If the setup is somewhat complicated I would also like a short description of the setup, but the most important is that I grab the right modules - then I guess I can figure out the rest myself.

You might look at CiviCRM or
You might look at CiviCRM or Ubercart for the registration process (if paid). Otherwise, there are probably other options I'm not aware of.
You can likely use CCK and Views to handle allowing users to create events (plus Date and Location), perhaps with Moder8 or something like that to handle the moderation process.
Somewhere there is a release with a bunch of modules configured from a Drupal conference website. Oh, here it is: http://drupal.org/node/519100
Just my opinion, but I feel you should use Drupal 6. It's been quite awhile since I've had problem with needed modules not being compatible with 6.
Cool!
The conference web-site stuff (http://drupal.org/node/519100) is very cool but the link to the download package is not working. Any suggestions where I should look to find the files?

Maybe worth checking out http://drupal.org/project/cod.
Hi Worldfallz I noticed that,
Hi Worldfallz
I noticed that, but it seems to me to be in development, and hence not functional yet. It seems the other setup was fully functional as it was.
