Is Drupal a viable solution for my website? Please review What is Drupal before posting.

Drupal is powerful sufficient? xD Google, seo, etc...

Hi "habitants" of this forum

First good nigth For all! And sorry for my bad english =P, i'm self-taught person in english language...

I come here, because i have some asks around drupal... I preferential ask to person that it has websites with more 10k uniques/ day... mainly the users reffered by SEs...

The ask following

I have a well visited blog wordpres, strongly tweaked for google good position, faster, etc e etc...

I have much visits (10k- 2K) day... but i have a big problem =/

First, i take the top in google in some days, and dawn in some days too...all wordpress blogs, is very good to take positions in google, but very much instable results, one day glory, one day weak... but the concorrents that not using wordpress, always in best positions...

Fact: google consider the CMS used =/...

And the wordpress is very good to blog, but ONLY blogging...is very limited to the rest...i cannot make a portal style because WP...

But i see one light on end of tunnel...the drupal =)

therefore i ask:

Is dificult to rank good in drupal on SEs? The results is instanbles or estables? (instables for me, is down 12 positions in one day, up 3 in other, dawn 3 and up 7 in other day..., and my concorrents? on same positions! )

And drupal vs wordpress in search engines? Your site owns the big W, or not xD?

User / Issues .. What is the best way?

I'm working on a site where different users select how they feel about different issues.
Its relatively easy to setup with CCK & Views,
But i would like to be able to batch-edit issues.

eg ..

(with checkboxs)

Issue User
[ ] User1
[ ] User2
[ ] User3
[ ] User4

[Submit]

is there a way to do this? i saw the editview module, sounds like its not quite what i want. Anyone got any suggestions? or will it need to be a custom module?

thanks

Many domains, one install???

Hi,

I've had a good look at the site and feel that this prog is something I could use for my collection of sites. I was wondering if it was possible to install the programme just once and have its functionality fully active across all of my domains? I'd rather not have to install this prog multiple times. I have a shared hosting account, Linux, with Godaddy.

I have www.torsnet.com as my core domain with my other domains attached to it in this way...

wondering whether Drupal provides these features I need for a new project

Can I create several fora (plural of 'forum')?

Is there a news module? And does it have a feature that removes items when they are a number of months old?

Can I create admin user with different privileges?

Can I limit input fields or textareas in length?

Is there an addressbook module that can sort users; export them as a csv file; can devide users into groups and allows you to send an email to users and whole groups?

Looking for good File Sharing CMS: is Drupal it?

Hi, I use a popular CAD (Computer Aided Design) application and I'm looking into the possibility of creating a website for sharing resources for this particular application.

What I think I need is:

Should I switch to Drupal

I'm running a website where I make various manuals avaible for download.
My site is www.ebaman.com

I'm currently looking for a viable alternative for the current CMS I'm using.

I will need the following functions, apart from the normal web-site stuff.

Some sort of file manager, where the users can select the files thy want to download.
Posibility to associate a thumbs to the files avaible, i.e a picture of the equipment.
View files in tree and Gallery-style (user pref)
Limit downloads (x downloads a day).
Register before being able to download.
Handle files up to some 700 megs or so.
Some sort of forum.
"Latest Uploads", rss and news

Registered users should be able to upload files, up to some 700 M size together with pictures to associate to the file.

Multiple upload pairs (file and picture/thumb)

Logging of up- and down-loading (IP)
Files has to be approved by admin before avaible for download.
Comments and descriptions of the files.

This is the core stuff that I want/need.

Now my current problem is the upload stuff.
It seems that the apache server that my host is using times out and terminates connections when uploading files, especially larger ones.
I'm currently using the normal PHP-upload functions.

One solution I can se is to use FTP, and then let the CMS move and sync the uploaded files/thumb pairs.
