Before you start

I've built and maintain several Drupal sites, and do so with a great deal of success. Although I'm not a full-fledged developer, I feel like I am proficient enough with Drupal and most of it's more popular contributed modules to do nearly anything I can think of with a site's design and layout.

Hi there,

I'm looking to create a repository of resources made up of audio, images, video and text and would like to use drupal because of its power and flexibility to configure custom content types for each media submission . I would also like to group each submission under a "project level" before adding taxonomy to categorise. Each media submission could be used in 1 or more project.

Hi, I'm very new with drupal and I'm getting lost with all the documents.
I've already made the drupal 7 installation for windows and created a test front page.
The only good video lessons I found were in "Getting Started With Drupal video series" - learn by the drop,
but I want to build a site like this: http://imbee.com/ and don't know where to start.
can anyone give a good tutorial for this?

Hi, I am currently looking at using Drupal for a rewrite of a large Government website. Our site has thousands of pages, and the structure is 5-6 levels deep in places.

I'm trying to learn what I can from the Drupal documentation and playing around with modules, but must admit it has a steep learning curve. Both of the previous CMSes I've worked on (Sitecore and Silverstripe) use a tree structure to represent pages, and so menus and URLs map quite obviously to pages in the tree. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how this would work in Drupal.

The only way I can see to do it at the moment is to create all of the pages, then link them in a menu and use the Menu Block module to show the correct parts (primary nav: levels 1 & 2, secondary nav: levels 3+). But with thousands of pages, wouldn't this create a menu that is too difficult to manage using the Drupal Admin interface? The documentation I've read about menus show sites with only 10 or so pages so this isn't a problem for them.

I have also just started to read about taxonomy, which I can see working well for some content like News and Events but I'm less sure about more static pages that we would like to place in a specific part of the site. (e.g. if we retrieve all the pages tagged as a "policy", can these be ordered however we like or does it have to be alphabetical?)

Hi,

Am using Drupal now for some 2 years with great satisfaction.
Many questions have been asked already relating to managing/importing static html sites. Yet, no workable solution for me.

I am working with a commercial software package in which we create quality manuals.
The software can produce reports in *.txt and *.html. These reports are relatively 'static'. Adaptations and improvements are made in an annual cycle.

Hi,

we are a public institution who would like to build a new Intranet using Drupal 7.

We are around 250 people in the organisation who will use daily the new intranet. People will have to log-on using their Active Directory credentials for accessing the Intranet. Depending on which department a person belongs to, the content will vary on the pages. Also everyone will have the right to make new content and edit content.
