Before you start

Hi,

I'm been looking at a number of content management systems for the "intranet" of my university department.

I like the look of drupal, it's clean, simple, and straight-forward.

One of my requirements is that I build a simple hierarchy of pages and assign ownership to branches of the tree, so that only the owner can add new content or edit existing content.

Unfortunately I can't see how that can be done in drupal...

Hello all you DruPals! :)

I got a HUGE problem that I hope some of you can solve... PLEASE READ THIS! (^^,)

In school we got a technogic project, and we are going to make a website presenting our product.
I see no reasons going out to buy a domain, so therefore I want to use an "offline-domain", WAMP5 (wampserver). I have tried this with Joomla, just lying it in the "wampserver/www/"-folder, and then I could type "localhost/joomla" in the browser. Works perfect!

Okay. I know you all have probably answered the same question over and over again, but please, bear with me. :)

Right now I am the web designer/admin for a martial arts school. I am currently working on a redesign/restructure of the site and would like to use Drupal to help maintain the site as well as add new features to the site.

My main concern is that we have a message board (phpbb 2.x) that we are using for students of the school only. I know that Drupal has a message board included and I don't mind using the system already included with it. If I choose Drupal will I be able to:

*Transfer all of the current users to Drupals built-in forum?

*Restrict access to the forum to those who are members of the school only? If so, what is the best method to do so?

*Easily create my own look and feel. I have gone through and read some of the documentation that is supplied and it seems a bit convoluted to me. Is it something that is easier to understand once you are actually doing it?

Also, the school runs its own tournament once a year and I noticed that I could add a mod to Drupal that would allow people to sign up to an event. I wanted to be able to see what this looks like and how exactly it runs. I don't suppose anyone has used it (or are currently using it) so that I could see how it works on their site?

I currently run http://www.booksu.com and have custom coded the website. As I am adding new features and modules to the website, i find it is very time consuming. I am looking at porting the entire website to a content management system with community website capabilities. Below is an outline of the features that I already have finished, or am working on that I would like to get some insight on how to develop using modules/extensions in drupal, or perhaps get suggestions on another piece of software that would be able to handle this (phpFox is out of the questions, as all i've read is negative feedback about the company and the code written)

- registration (student/non-student with different fields for both, with account activation)
- member profiles (standard profile showing username, photo, some user information (should be able to define these) friends list, groups, photo galleries), blogs (I will be using the term articles instead, such that each user can write their articles) events (each user should be able to post events for a group they either created, or are allowed to administer)
- classifieds (categorized classifieds: textbooks, jobs, tutors, buy/sell, etc...) (ability to link to direct classifieds categories)
- forum

Hi folks,
I am still trying to find a girl who really, really likes Underworld (the electronic music band, not the movie) and I have tried several of those German dating sites and they all suck big time because
- they cost ALOT of money (premium access ~10-20€/month!)
- their search mostly is broken or not usable
- they all have only a small piece of the cake
- they seem to scare all intelligent women away because of that.
So, screw that, if you want to have something done right better do it yourself. That's why I'm posting here, I think together we can build up a free alternative to those evil contact companies. Making money with interpersonal communication is the worst thing I can think of right now, provided human rights are ensured for everybody.

We would like to use Drupal (survey.module) to collect patient-specific details at clinic visits. Only registered users would input data. Standard installation of Drupal.

How secure would the site be?
Is it difficult for hacker to login as admin?
How secure would the MySQL data be?
Should the dba.module be avoided?
Is it https necessary? https, as I understand, it only secures the transfer of data, which apparently is a lower risk than hacking the site.
