I am developing a web app for a youth center. Since the project is for a non-profit, the budget is pretty low and I decided to try out Drupal for the first time. I'm very impressed with the quality of the code but currently a bit overwhelmed with all of the options. Could you please suggest some modules that will best help me to build the site?
The client has the following core data entities:
Users
Groups - based on physical association (everyone who works at Main Campus) or on logical association (everyone on Committee X)
Media - pictures, videos and documents (ie pdfs)
Basic nodes
Complex nodes like events
The client would like the following functionalities:
CMS interface for content
Each group has its own basic and complex nodes and can only add to/edit/delete its own nodes - ex: "Main Campus" group members can add events which are associated with group, can edit their own events, and can delete them.
Any list of nodes within a group page is filtered for that group - if you are on a "Main Campus" page, then the event calendar will only show events for the "Main Campus" group
Nodes not owned by a group show ALL
Ability to upload and access media
Mailing lists/group emailing
Fund raising
Maintain contact lists
I have already installed CiviCRM and CCK. I was thinking about installing events and acidfree as well. But, how can I associate events with groups? How can I associate other nodes with groups? How do I tie access controls into groups? Is acidfree really the module I want to use?
I wanted to post this is the proper acid free forum but when you click the link on its dowload page you are taken to the normal forum page and it is not obvious where you should post.
Is there not a way to populate an album while you are making it? If I tab over to add pictures it erases my title of the album.
I also would like for the images and album to promote to front page but it promotes an empty album
I tried to install the "Img Assist" module.
The icon shows up when I try to post new content.
I can click it, and select an image.
But when I hit "insert", the chosen image doesn't show up in my post.
The module is enabled and the permissions (access advanced options, access all images, access img_assist) are set.
I can also see the administer-->settings-->img-assist menu item.
I'm reading the book "Building online communities with Drupal,...".
I just read a part that covered the "Image" module.
I tested it (which went fine), but still have some questions:
Is it possible to have a node that contains multiple images?
I would like to have the ability to upload multiple files at once.
This would be handy when creating a gallery.
I can't expect my users to create a gallery by uploading one image at a time.
