Before you start

Must be a very dumb question.....

Status: Drupal is running for +/- 8 months at my site. I want to add some modules, but I can not remember which version of drupal is running...

I looked AFAICS all over the place (source files/ database) but I can not find it anywhere.

Anyone?

thanks.

Can Drupal do any of these things?

1. Group together images that were taken on a specific date in one post, assigning the post to multiple categories based on the type of photos contained within.

2. (Related to the above)Automatically create thumbnails for images that link to the original images, not a "wrapped" image but the actual image itself (i.e., http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg).

I am auditioning platforms to port my website to, so that I can implement access control. I'm currently running on MovableType for the blog pages and hand generating pages for the non-blog content. My preference would be to roll everything into the same tool.

My needs are simple, really, I want to end up with something not unlike the Live Journal filtering system, in which I can:

* Assign users to groups
* Set reading permissions to entries based on the groups
* Build a page for each user based on what they are permitted to see.
* No one but me gets to write anything but comments
* Anyone who can read a post can comment on it

The one thing I want to do differently than LJ is to be able to decide on a post by post basis if the groups I give permission to are AND's or OR's; perhaps on one post I want group1 or group2 to have permission to read, but on some other post I only want people who are in group2 and group3 to have access.

In terms of scale, I don't anticipate a large number of groups. Probably only 5-6, tops. I currently have about 400 blog entries. I write pretty much every day, and am working on importing old journals that go back for years. It's a reasonable expectation that I will have several thousand entries in the system in the medium term future. My readership is modest.

So, questions.

1) Is Drupal going to work for me?

Hi, I'm looking into Drupal for use in a large educational institution (>40K users). So, I'm trying to find out if an installation of this size has ever been done (sizing comments would also be appreciated), and whether it might be suitable.

Other 'done before' questions:

• Shibboleth WebISO
• LDAP integration
• uPortal integration
• Delegated administration of sections
• Wiki support

Any thoughts on a collab/publishing tool that might be more suitable if Drupal isn't up to it?

Morjens,

I'm 90% ready to move my drupal site into production. It's been running nicely on a spare W2K partition (on EasyPHP all-in-one server package) of my home PC - what should I consider before I start transferring it on a real web server?

My previous experience on these things is rather limited, I've only updated a normal website, so any hints to save me from possible errors would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating several CMSs for a new site I'm developing. I'm so far impressed with all the of the functionality that Drupal offers, but at the moment I have a stumbling block.

I can't see anywhere obvious where I can define a different template for each section (eg /about as a different template to /contact) of my website, or for an individual article/page.

Is this possible?

Thanks...
