Entities are a big boon to Drupal, just that the learning curve is a bit longer than CCKs and nodes. I've read a lot about how these entities work but the more I read, the more complex they sound. Here are small snippets of code that I would like to share to allow you to create an entity reference field with your custom entities.

In Drupal, many a times I have found the need of using user profile values in my email configurations at "User Settings" and let the client use that too. The need for tokens in user emails can be addressed with a very small piece of code. Lets say we need the tokens of profile first name, last name, full name and profile title like 'Mr.', 'Mrs.', etc, here is what we can do ...In Drupal, many a times I have found the need of using user profile values in my email configurations at "User Settings" and let the client use that too.

Here are a few reasons why Drupal will be your choice of technology for your website:

1. With Drupal you get the advantages of a CMS as well as a framework. A content management system (CMS) allows you to store content in a database and lets you publish them with ease on the web. CMS allows you to choose from automated templates, work with a solid access control system to differentiate between users, content moderators, and administrators, collaborate content by allowing more than one authors to take control of the same content. Whereas a framework allows you to develop dynamic websites where users can interact with each other and the content, alleviates the problem of overhead associated with common activities and allows developers to reuse code as and when possible, and provides the developers with a platform where they can hook into the existing framework with their custom solutions with ease. Using the framework, the community has created more than 7000 modules and it keeps growing day by day. "Drupal = CMS + Framework" and that is extremely powerful. See http://drupal.org/about
