I'd like to use drupal for our intranet.

That means no access to unathorized users.

In addition, I'd like to have several sections with posts, blogs, forums for several different user groups with access granted only to that group.

Is this possible?

From glancing at the admin section, it looks like access control only apply to modules and related tasks, and not to different sections or modules assigned to sections.

Thanks a lot for your help!

How to Intigrate CiviCRM with Drupal 5.0

Is Drupal 5.x backward compatible for php-4.6.6? Or do I have to stay on the 4.7 track?

Thanks!

I have installed drupal 5 and 4.7 for testing purposes and as a newbie in CMS development I can't make a decision on which version I should use and I am wondering if any experienced CMS developer could help in this choice.

The decision should be based on the following:

1.The website will be a double-site (2 community websites with one drupal installation) with nothing in common except:

• Single sign on
• Some of the forum Categories will be commun
• Some of the Gallery2 (http://gallery.menalto.com/) sections will not be common.
• Some of the posted stories
• Some of the poll (Ajax poll)
• ... and so on

2.Both sites will also have the following:

• Google Adsense
• rating system on each content (e.g. stories)
• Guestbook
• Email newsletter

You probably got the idea; I need to implement lots of features in both sites but they will be completely separate (separate domain names, themes, and so on) with the above in common and maybe some more features will meet later after the two sites are developed.

3.I am also looking for the drupal version that has the most useful modules according to the site needs listed above and also most stable ones (it seems to me that 4.7 has more modules supported)

I am currently beginning some work on developing a website for a sports league and am weighing my options as to the "framework"/CMS to use. I am a Windows/.Net/database developer by day, so I've already started investigating an ASP.Net (and DotNetNuke) solution (I've setup an intranet site running DotNetNuke before and it was fairly painless and did much of what the customer needed at the time). The current site for this league is plain HTML with a variety of php add ons (phpBB, a calendar module, etc.). Since Drupal came to the top of my list for *nix based solutions, I thought I'd query the group here to see if it is a good fit for this site. Here are the major necessities for the new site:

Your basic community site featuring a forum (I'd probably convert their phpBB to SMF since I like the feature set of it a bit better), calendar to announce events and some schedules, some static information pages, image gallery, etc. I think most of this can be done with the core product and a few add on modules, judging from my limited search of this site. It is these types of requested features that led me on the path to using a CMS/portal type of framework, since I don't want to have to code all of that myself.

Some of the things that I am not too clear on are:
