Before you start

I'm looking to create a community site with very specific needs. I've been researching Drupal allong with Xoops, Typo3, and a few other CMS's. What I'm wondering if what I'm looking for is easily possible with Drupal or not.

Hi,

I am about to embark on a new web site project and was considering using a CMS instead publishing a normal static web site.

What I want to do is create a football club directory site where site visitors can search for football clubs in their area. Also I want football clubs to be able to submit their details for addition to the site and the site be able to automatically include their submission in the directory.

I'm looking to create a site for my band. All I want to do is have a back-end login page where only one specific user needs to have access to the back-end portion of the site. From here content will be able to be edited. This content will only be editing a "News," "Concert/Show List," and a photo album. I do not need or really want to have the option to create new pages, or even new content. Additionally, I'll want to embedd into my already created css/html site, not use templates or edit templates to fit my needs. Is How would I go about using Drupal to do this?

For a subscribers-only website that I want to build with Drupal, I want to be able to sell both individual subscriptions and group subscriptions (i.e. site licenses). Here are my specs for the site license scenario:

I am considering Drupal to replace a 10-year-old perl script (!) for a subscribers-only website.

One feature we added a few years ago (to the perl script) was the ability to prevent subscribers from having an active login/session on more than one browser/computer at the same time. This is to prevent people from sharing logins. If someone tries to use a login that is currently active, they are given the choice of ending the other session (and proceeding to the subscriber-only content) or trying again later.

Can Drupal do something like this?

Hi i am considering using drupal for a website i am building, But i require a registered user area and the users account must be made by the admin. User must not be able to sign up on the site sounds strange but its the way i have to do it. Also is it possible to set areas of the site so they can only be viewed by the members that the admin has created??
Also could someone one tell me drupals benifits over phpnuke?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
