Before you start

Hi,

I've done some reading around the site and looking into the background information on Drupal, and I'm starting to think that maybe Drupal might be what I need.

I'm a big Joomla user, and I've been able to use that quite effectively for many sites that needed a CMS. For my next project it seems like Joomla will not suffice, and I'd like to know whether Drupal will manage, or whether we should be going to something custom-made.

[b]The Project[/b]
Basically, it's a site for a graphic design company that's starting up. They will need a showcase of all the projects they've worked on, and all the clients they've done projects for. Of course the site will need some news pages, twitter feed, contact form etc, but that seems all easy to do with Drupal.

The question comes in with the navigation method they want, and the manner of updating the projects and clients.

They want to be able to add projects that they've done, and link the project to a client, and to a "type of project".

I need to re-vamp a church website over the next year. It's not a super-complex site, but it needs content-managed news, events calendar, blog, and a podcast.

We would like to create a Poker Training site like www.deucescracked.com or www.pokerstrategy.com and www.rakebrain.com.

Hi All

The plan is to create a site which allows authenticated users to create and promote their own webcast where they transition sides. No audio is needed as this will be all done over the phone.

My question is; Ho can I create a single CCK page for the my clients to fill in which will then creates:

Hello Guys,

I want the following:
A home page where i can introduce myself or the thing that my site has to offer. The rest of the site should be blocked for non-users.

I am preparing to setup a website for a School District. My current plan calls for installing Drupal in the root directory. Each school and certain departments will have their own site setup as a sub-domain using the Multi-site feature. Instead of creating a separate database for each install I want to use one database and set a different prefix for each install. The main reason is to simplify the number of databases the IT Department will have to backup.

I will be setting this up by using sampleschool.org as the primary domain with roughly 10 additional sub-domains under it.

I am using cpanel to create the sub-Domain as you normally would for a single site install. I then delete the sub-domain and recreate it with it pointing to the root directory. On the database side I have setup the main database and added a prefix in the main install settings file called schdep_ . After I run the first install I am copying the default.settings.php file from the default directory into each sub-domain folder, for each sub site in the sites directory, and then editing the setting file to give it a unique prefix for tha sub-domain before running the install file.

I have tested installing the main site with one sub-domain site and both sites appear to function normally and the Database shows the installed tables with the respective prefix from the setting.php file.
