Before you start

Hi,
Does anyone know of any case studies of using Drupal as an Intranet / Portal in Higher Education ?

If you are aware of any would you point me at the case study.

Many thanks,

Hello, I am new to the forums I cant seem to find the introduction page but anyway,

I have a potential Client that wants people to pay by subscription to view a certain part of his website.
Up until now I have only done work in Dreamweaver and I am really new to drupal and wondering if something like this is possible.

I have found this module, http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions Can i use this with payment options?

Any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I have been asked to look into the possibility of creating a website for my company that is in both English and Spanish. I have looked into various ways to do this and I think Drupal might be the best route. After looking at the Internationalization module I have a few questions.

1. I do not speak or write Spanish does this module auto translate or is there a way to auto translate, or do I have to find someone to translate the entire site to Spanish?

I am about to attempt my first drupal 7 website.

It will be a 'vacation' site. People will post pictures and text about nice vacations.

Here is what I envision:

What modules should I use to create a website like phstudios.com, where users log in and they have an option to buy premium, where they can get access to all the content on the site, where as free users can only get access to some?

I've searched and found several articles posted on Drupal about setting up sites that use some shared tables and other tables for unique content on certain domains. The articles use versions prior to v7 and I was wondering if there are any that work for the latest version of Drupal.

The reason I ask is that I don't want to get halfway through trying to set it up only to find that it doesn't work due to some API or setting that was updated or removed and have to find another solution.

Let me describe my situation

I want to have several domains and a "mother" domain.

The domains will each have their own forums, articles, news, links, videos, etc.

The domains will all share the user data/points/awards and a user can register or login from any site in the network and have access to their profile and ability to post content on any site in the network.

Each site in the network will have a different template and different content focus.

Each site in the network will use the same custom content posting forms.
For example a custom content type for posting news like digg or reddit.

The mother site will have the ability to list the latest content from all the other sites in the network as well as show the top contributors daily/weekly/monthly for each.

Is there a guide for how to do this with the latest version of Drupal?
