Before you start

I have a client who is in need of a community type website with:

- blog (with multiple bloggers)
- chat
- custom user groups where only admins have control and its on a per invite basis
- the main page accessible but everything else requiring a log in
- forum (again, users are only allowed to post if they have been invited)

I was going to go with the Wordpress/Buddypress combo on this but I thought why not look at other options to see if there are better solutions.

Hi All,
I am currently working on developing a site to manage tasks for users. The intention of this is to allow users to create tasks. The intention is to ensure that only the creator of the task, and the advisors of the person to create the task are capable of seeing it. I am not sure how to go about this using Drupal. It seems Drupal often focuses on making all posts available to all other users.
Is Drupal a viable solution to this problem?

Thank you in advance,
Alexander

Hello,

Hello,

I am looking for some information / guidance on managing multiple sites / systems / users. At the moment we have several sites (some of them Drupal, some are bespoke web applications) we also have a 'central' site that holds all our users and their details. All of the sites require users to login - they are always users that we have stored at our central site, however, they all have a different username / password for every single system. I am looking at re-developing the 'central' site and know there are a few more sites / systems in the pipeline (again, these will be used by a few users that we have stored centrally).

Ideally I would like our central site to hold information on all our users, administrators could set permissions for other sites from this central site. I want users to use a single username and password for all sites / systems, these could then authenticate and authorise the details with the central site. Most will be Drupal based, however, a few will be custom systems.

Basically I am looking for your opinions on the best way of achieving this - I am happy coding the solution, I would just like some feedback on the possible solutions!

Hello All,

Forgive me if my questions seem ... um ... basic, but I am looking to start a web site in the next couple of months, and I find myself extremely lacking in the area of knowledge.

If I may, I would like to explain what I am hoping to accomplish.

Hi,
I'm in the process of setting up an eCommerce site with Drupal 6.17 and Ubercart 2.3.
