Before you start

Hi

I'm considering using Drupal for my membership site - users will be paying for monthly memberships. There may be a module that helps with this, but I haven't found it yet.

Any advice welcomed!

Thanks,
Jason

Hi,

I have invented a board game that enables players to create multiple 'board maps' and also to change the game rules using 'rule modifications'.

I need some kind of website that will allow users to submit new images of board maps that they create and then to be able to categorise them, vote on them etc.

Each 'board map' will need 1 .jpeg along with basic information about the board map plus some kind of way for users to comment on it and vote it.

Hi,

I need this sort of functionality:

- AGENT
- login, log out
- access to a company portal site page (drupal)
- list all available PDF forms
- view PDF forms
- save PDF form to local pc via http download
- print PDF forms
- link to existing company webmail

Future functions:
* able to save forms as their favourites for easy access
* able to send a PDF form to an agent, so they can view it. after logging in.

ADMIN
- login, log out
- access to a company portal site page (drupal)
- list all available PDF forms
- create PDF from input in web forms
- view PDF forms
- save PDF form to local pc via http download
- able to make a PDF form public or hidden. like a draft version so it can be "published" before the agents can see it.
- print PDF forms
- add/edit/delete users from the company portal (drupal)
- allow different agents access to a group of PDF forms.

The other functions is to integrate the static website into drupal but I think that will be easy(easier than this). And I think I will have to build a php -> PDF function/module? I think I can build a php app that does it but I'm not sure how hard it is to integrate that function into Drupal. I was originally going to create all this from scratch but seeing how a CMS could help me out was the reason I started looking around.

I guess my main concern, is how hard it is to integrate my own code/app into Drupal? I wil have to write a Drupal module right?

We're looking at using Drupal as the main baclbone of our new church website. The site is going to be small enough that we won't require the ability for visitors to interact with the site (ie no need for log ins, article submissions, comments etc), however we still need the ability for people whose computer experience is restricted to typing up an article in Microsoft Word to be able to update the website with news, events, photos and progress reports.

The main features we hope to include in our website are:

Hello all,

I'm sorry for the long post, but I think it's better if I'm as detailed as I can be so that I don't make a mistake in my choice and so that there's a clear understanding of to what I'm looking for. I also apologise if I'm stating what might be perceived to be evident already, as I'm new to the world of CMS's.

I'm looking for a content management system to use on a site (http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com) that I help to moderate. Unfortunately (as I have discovered), there are literally hundreds of CMS's to choose from, so I am understandably confused. However, I would appreciate it if anyone on this forum could advise me as to whether Drupal will meet the following requirements (which in order of priority, the criteria are):

1. Ease of use involving minimal manual intervention. What I would like is a system where once someone has posted an article and editors have approved it, it gets published not only to a main 'articles' page but parts of it (e.g. a link to it with the subject in the title) automatically get published wherever we would like these parts to be published.

For example, currently, we get people to publish articles using Blogger. Unfortunately, it means that once the article is approved, we still have to manually insert the link to our front-page and sidebars to our messageboard using PHP include statements.

See the sidebar on the following page for examples: http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/board.

The system I'm going to use has PHP 4.3.10 installed and has the following directive.

session.save_handler: files

I know it says you need 4.3.3+ to run Drupal 4.6 AND that the save_handler needs to be set to "user".

I cannot make these modifications myself, as I am not the system administrator for my host. I have been unable to contact the guy I need to make these changes and I'm doubtful that he will do it, but we'll see once I talk to him.

Can anyone tell me the following:
