Before you start

Hi !

I am building a site for a fire brigade. Its just a regular homepage with a blog to post news , but also have a small intranet for the the employees.

The question is: Is it possible to create the following site without programming knowledge ? (In other words, build this with modules)

1. Drupal 7 based internet site with intranet
to have 2 blogs , one for evryone to see and another for logged in users to see.

2. create forms and generate reports

Hi community,

I have been searching for weeks now but didn't find a clear answer to my needs:

I need a CMS which has the following features:

1) You have a Main Site (www.example.com) with the following content:

- A
- B
- C

You have several subdomains (sub.example.com) with the following content

- B
- C
- D
- E

sub1.example.com

- B
- C
- H

I've toyed with Drupal for some time, but always encounter the same choice: ease-of-use or power. Is there a middle position with Drupal? Can I get all the power needed for a news site with Drupal without sacrificing overwhelming resource needs and a hydra-like morass of dependancies? There seems three choices: build a system from the ground-up, (which can be akin to DIY pyramids in ancient Egypt), OpenPublish (which is really optimized for larger organizations) or ProsePoint, which is quasi-supported.

Hi,
I am not sure if Drupal is usefull for my site www.red-carparts.de

Please tell me more about it.

thx

I have been give a task to start building a webisite with following basic capabilities:

- Hierarchical content structure

- with top level being a site (location)
- Each site having multiple sub locations
- Each sub location having multiple service cards (custom content type having a special set of fields which hopefully could be easily chosen from set of field options)
- different field options to be added by admin/superuser.

Multiple level of user access rights:

- admin having ability to anything e.g. change the webpage structure/themes/etc...
- superuser having ability to add new users and access to all nformation
- A site manager having ability to add sub locations and all the service cards within the site (no acces to other site information)
- A operator who has only access to information of a sublocation and ability to add new service cards
- Later possibility to add more levels to hierarchy

Look&Feel

- Each person who logs in has different "front page" e.g. basic user only sees very simple page where he can add a new service card
- All other aspects of look&feel I bet are achievable with any CMS system

I need to be able to post (and have other users post) articles in categories. i thought about using Blog for this, but maby there is a better way?? or otherwise can Blog be organized by categories?
