Before you start

Hi,

I am trying to set up an intranet for my company so that different users in different departments can post their own content. Can we set up users in Drupal so that they only edit/publish certain areas belong to their departments??

Thanks.

I design, build, and update a website for the Southern Wisconsin Farm Fresh Atlas. It is currently built in HTML/CSS, and it is a pain in the behind to update. I would like to move the site into a content management system, and I'm trying to decide if Drupal is the way to go.

The site lists places where locally grown food is available in Southern Wisconsin. The site categorizes information two ways: by the type of business listed (farm, non-farm business sponsor, or farmers' market), and product (cheese, vegetables, fruit, etc...) There is also a bit of educational text on the site.

Here is a link to the current site: http://www.reapfoodgroup.org/atlas

Here is what I would ideally like the content management system to do:

-- the entire site should be text searchable, as well as searchable by the categories listed above.
-- Listees should be able to log in and update their own listings. (If they don't have internet access, a volunteer will do this for them.)
-- Listees should be able to designate the type of business they are, and the products they produce, and they should be automatically sorted into those categories on the site (so I don't have to go through and hand sort this information, as I currently do...)

I am evaluating Drupal as a CMS framework for an active not-for-profit website (www.pdga.com). What I would like to know is: how do I incorporate existing PHP/mysql pages into a Drupal website? Do I have to create custom modules for each page, or is there some way to insert my PHP code into an existing blank page template? Any pointers to the best practices for doing this in Drupal would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I work for a large university and we are looking at using Drupal for one of our prominent web sites. I don't know much about server hardware so I'm concerned that we may move forward on installing Drupal and find out that our servers cannot handle the load. We are in the process of purchasing some powerful web servers, but given our large size, I'm not sure if we will run into problems down the road.

Here are some stats on what we're working with:

I want to know the best module to be used as a programs category also I need a module for news and an other one for articles and reviews .
can any one here give me the best solution for this .

I am hoping some experts can assist. I have been building a site www.amatas.com for some time and recently shifted (still doing it) my photogalleries (with some 100,000 pics and about 1000 galleries) from html galleries across to a php database. At the same time, having discovered php, I have added some other components. These are

1. photogalleries
2. discussion forum
3. network directory
4. shopping cart.
