Drupal 6.x

After long days of work dreamweaver extension for dupal theme creation is ready for beta test.

Drupal compatibility 4, 5, 6

Dreamweaver 9 (cs3), previous version will be supported if a developers requests.

A screen shot will be published soon.

I've been curious about this for a while, though I've just started looking into. CCK and Views are great tools, opens a lot of flexibility and customizing to people who aren't programers.

My concern though is the ever increasing reliance on CCK/Views to be the magic bullet, vs. dedicated modules to handle things. This concern may be unfounded, I don't know, like I said I've been curious about it for a while, but have only just started looking into it.

But the endless customization that is available to CCK/Views makes me wonder if we're heading down the road to bloat city, with all the perceived overhead of pulling together the CCK/Views info. Again, I don't know for certain if this is true, or even an issue, which is why I'm here to ask about it.

Now I know that every site is different, and that optimization starts with first looking at the needs of the site. But more often than not, CCK/Views seems to be the de-facto answer to anything that comes up, which is what has me worried.

Is there reason to worry? Should CCK/Views be used only on "low traffic" sites (I know I know... what is "low traffic"). Is it better to view CCK/Views more as a way for rapid prototyping modules? Is there a way to export a CCK/Views mix into a dedicated module for optimization? Would be be interested in that if there was?

I am building a site for marine scientists from around the world to share research, information, photos, sightings, podcasts, general stories etc. I have a bounty of $300 - $500. It doesn’t need to be a general module.

I need a decent hierarchical menu system populated from (maybe there is a different solution) predefined taxonomy categories, the type of node and the author. There will be about 400 terms. For example.

Region drop down

- Africa
-- Ghana
-- Mozambique
-- Kenya
- Europe
-- United Kingdom
-- France
-- Germany

Marine Species drop down

- Shark
-- Great White
-- Leopard
-- Thrasher
- Ray
-- Manta
-- Yellow Spotted
-- Eagle

Poster drop down

- University of Marine Science
-- Professor Blue
-- Doctor Green

Type of post drop down

- Photos
- Podcasts
- Research notes
- Sightings

Two search examples would be

- All Post Types from All Universities of Leopard Sharks and Great Whites and Manta Rays from Kenya

- Photos taken in Africa of Rays by Professor Green

The menu has to sit in the left sidebar, work with multilingual sites featuring multi-selectable, dependent drop downs. New taxonomy terms are added by an administrator and the user information is collected from the user’s profile. It has to be easily ported to Drupal 6 in the future.

A good example is the Men's Clothing Finder on ebay.

I'm seriously considering starting a new podcast. It looks like LibSyn (libsyn.com) is the best hosting service for podcast media, since they give you X-much storage each month. (e.g. the 100MB plan gives 100MB this month, 200MB next month, etc. They move everything outside of the current 100MB to a slower "archive" server.)

I'd really like to use Drupal for the podcast and not the default blogging system that they offer. I don't have anything against what they offer, but I know Drupal pretty well.
