Before you start

Hi,

We're looking for a CMS system which will allow us to create quite a complex registration procedure comprising of various forms linked together which change according to boxes ticked at each stage. Once complete potential members are verified and given a membership type, say bronze, silver or gold. Also they'd need to be able to register themselves and their collegues at the same time so they wouldn't need to go back to the very start of the process and enter their company/contact info again.

It looks like I'm going to be working on a site that will make use of the Organic Groups module which I've not used before.

Could anybody that has comment on any problems they've run into if there's 20 groups? 50 groups? I'm wondering if there is any practical limit to the number of groups due to a noticeable effect on performance or if there's any complications for users that are members of 2 or 3 different groups?

Thanks for any advice

Hi there.
A new drupal site on the air :
http://www.ledesige.co.il
A portfolio 3lengual web site, based on modern antique template with a nice flash display.
Ihave a problem with URL aliases made by I18n module. When moving rapidly from one page to the other on somtimes for no resone at all - I'm getting a white page. When removing the lenguage prefix (en/fr etc.) the page can be displayed again.
see problem in rapid refreshing here:

That I am a complete and total novice. A little background. My friend is looking to set up a local office (city library board) campaign site. I have worked on a previously set up drupal site, but I have never set up any kind of site on my own before. I would like to put at least the basic template together before having him purchase the web space. Is this possible? (As I said, complete noob, may not even be making sense). :-) I am given space at my university (people.emich.edu/mshumaker) would it be possible to set it up there, then transfer it over later?

Hi,
I have doen a few sites (including E-commerce) with Joomla and am thinking to stiwch to Drupal for my next project because it is expected to eventually be a large database and security seems better on Drupal.
I have seen the "Drupal on stick" project but it is a Linux softw. Is there a local server available like the JSAS for joomla?

Thank you

I'm doing a corporate website and am trying to decide between webGui, Joomla!, Plone and Drupal. Here are my requirements.

My clients have regular press releases & articles that they create in the form of an html page/ pdf respectively. Their current site has a list of links to the press releases that open a popup window. The list is ordered by year with a menu, and paginated to allow at most 6 items in a two column layout: The layout can be seen here: http://www.bcomsolutions.ca/site_layout.jpg

See the main nav top left, secondary nav bottom left, tertiary nav is the date selector and fourth nav is page selector.

Each content item is a link to either a pdf if it is an article, or an html popup if it is a press release. I'm wondering if Drupal will provide the necessary utils to allow my clients to upload a pdf and link it with this system, creating paginated content if needed for new items. This seems kind of complicated for any CMS I've seen and I think might be custom. If so, how easy is it to write an addon that would allow this?

As a for instance, I'd like the client to just create a new article by uploading the pdf, and specifying the title, then I'd like it to show up on the appropriate page. All I can see is that Drupal would just allow one to edit a whole page completely. Not sure if this is making sense.

Anyway, hope you know what i mean. Thanks for any info!
