Before you start

Hi everyone,

I have a headache... fr awhile now I've tried to get Drupal to work... It downloaded alright but opening it has been an issue...

My computer doesn't seem to like the expansion, .GZ

whenever I tried to open it took me to a site in which I could download more stuff so it would open, I tried and that didn't work,

the one I downloaded was winace....

Is there another way I can open it...

I really want to start my site :) so all advice is appreciated...

PS. I don't have WIN zip is that the reason?

thanks again.

I am the new webmaster for the Durango School District. We currently have a static site that is very difficult to update (www.durangoschools.org) and there are no web standards to be found. I would like to use Drupal to do a new site for the district but I wanted to make sure Drupal is capable of doing everything we need:

The site is effectively split up into numerous sections based on the internal departments (IT, HR, Superintendant, etc) and the different schools (Needham, Durango High School, etc). Currently the different departments/schools each have their own subdomain off of the durangoschools.org domain. This is not a requirement but a lot of folks like the way it is split up. Can Drupal do this?

In each department/school, I need to set things up so that only a few people from that department have access to their part of the site. Only the HR folks should be able to edit/update the HR section, for example. I understand that Drupal has user roles but I'm not sure if I can restrict certain people to certain 'sections' of the site.

I want to create a site that can has an English version and a simplified Chinese version. Is it easy to add translated text? All menus, modules, pages and stories need to be translatable for me. Are encoding problems common?

Also, I need a simple shopping cart to sell downloadable items. I don't need pictures, and I don't need a system to manage shipments. It does need to be secure and also should be viewable in English and simplified Chinese.

Will Drupal work for me?

By the way, this Drupal forum design is pretty sweet. Simple and pretty.

Hi,

Our website is using a custom CMS and now I would like to add certain functionality from drupal to our website. The main modules we are interested in are the organic groups module.

I'm not a coder so please excuse me, but Is it even possible to implement the organic groups with an existing website that is not running drupal?

Thanks for your help,

Richard

Hi all,

Me and my partner are about to begin a medium-sized project that is basically a news portal, but with many community aspects on top; Member accounts will need to have the ability to post galleries, blogs and other similar features (from their own member-admin panels, naturally).

I've used Textpattern, Wordpress and ExpressionEngine (to an extent)... but, as you all know, neither of these are fit for this kind of project. ExpressionEngine is, actually, kind of, and although I could give a shit less about their "users can't have blogs" licensing, I think open source is the way to go.

With that being said, I'd like advice as to if Drupal is the way to go. I'm a designer/project manager -- not a programmer; However, I will have a hardcore PHP guru assisting me, and we're just trying to decide if it would be better to go with Drupal/EE/Joomla, or build this ground-up with a framework. It's a difficult choice to make, though, it seems.
