I've created a fair number of Drupal sites over the years, but I am now in the midst of tackling a more complicated setup than I have the past. First things first, here's my site concept:

Graphical Site Concept

Forums: I need them accessible to both Member and Non-Members (I'm assuming User Roles is easiest here). I'm not sure if I'll use Drupal's built-in forum module or integrate with phpBB, either way this part should be easy.

Companies: Basically I need a Company Directory that Members can:

A) identify/link themselves to
B) create a new Company if theirs isn't listed
C) can browse details and filter by fields within the Company.

e.g.

Company 1
- Industry Type A (clickable so Members can get a list of all companies of Industry Type A)
- State (clickable so Members can get a list of all companies in this state)

Company 2
- Industry Type B (clickable so Members can get a list of all companies of Industry Type B)
- State (clickable so Members can get a list of all companies in this state)

etc

A Company could either be edited by anyone associated with it OR I'd be happy if just one member took ownership.

Files: This should be simple. Using User Roles, just allow Members access to uploaded files.

Hi everyone

I've setup a few modest Drupal installations, the largest of which has 5,000 members hosted on a virtual server.

However, my next project will have 500,000 members (seriously) with projections from the marketing company to exceed 1m. The website will be community based with daily editorial, comments and forums. I've got no idea how many page views are going to be involved, but it could be a few! So...

Hi, I just wanted to know if I should do anything differently when I install if I think at a later date I will want the installation to be multisite? Also what if I want to use several sub domains but the same menu system. To begin with I won't but at a later date my future plans include expansions and I'd rather not overhaul the entire site then if possible. Is there something I should do differently now or do I just do a regular basic installation?

Thank you,

Hi, i need some advise as to whether Drupal is the best choice for my web design.

Basically i want to design a website for my business. We are a newly established Vehicle Damage Assessors in the Uk. I would want the site to promote our services etc. we wouldn't be selling on the site, just basically advertising our services, but i would want to create a client page, so when clients are registered with us they can log in and access their own client area. From there they would be able to see completed assessments, images of damaged areas, and invoices etc.

Hello All,

I'm looking to replace and upgrade my company's intranet with a Drupal-based solution. I've been searching for a few days now for a module that would help me replace some current functionality. I'm hoping that you can help point me in the right direction so I can get started on this project. Here's the rundown of the current functionality that I want to duplicate in Drupal:
