Before you start

I was wondering if Drupal would be a good CMS to use for running a PBEM (play by email) RPG? Player's actions are carried out normally by email and then staff update the site by hand to reflect changes. Could Drupal automate much of the player's actions and leave the staff to work on other important things? Such an action normally done by players and updated by staff is travel. When a player moves from one location to another a staff member has to calculate time and post how long it will take.

The topic line is about it - I need to install a CMS on a server in which the file system is read only (writable only through ftp/sftp). Would Drupal fit the bill? I understand that most CMSes will not, and I know that the server sucks, but it's not my choice.

Thanks

Hey

I want to build a music review site based around this CMS.

I need it to support

Custom Fields - i must be able to make my own fields on the submit forms

Categories - seems to have this

Multiple Submit Pages - I want to be able to choose what fields I want on each submit page, so I can have one that says Review a Single or Review an Album etc

I used to have the time to learn good old HTML, but since I have moved into over lines of work, I have not had the chance to keep up with the changing codes (apart from a little .css). What I want to know is... can I somehow install drupal so that I can play around with it offline? The install seems to require me having a website, which I'm not prepared to set up until I feel I have content. And I'm not prepared to get excited about content until I know I can do something with it. So, if someone can advise me how I could just "play around with Drupal, I would be extremely grateful.

Hello,

I was asked to put together a cms that unfortunately will require frames.  Believe me I don't like it but it looks like the look will basically be the frames with the content inside the frames.  Is it possible to get only drupal content (ie no header, side menu, footer etc) to appear inside the frames?

Thanks

I currently have a wiki set up using MediaWiki. I'm not thrilled about the interface. My audience is not very technology inclined, so I want something with a better user interface. Plus, I'd like to be able to easily incorporate a blog and allow users to create easily customizeable profiles. I'd like to have some social networking style tools and encourage my users to talk to share w/each other outside of the wiki (which will remain the central purpose of the site).
