Before you start

Hello all,

I am very new to Drupal, and I am currently reading the extensive documentation, trying to determine if I can achieve what I want with Drupal.

I would like to create a private (understand for a small group of co-authors) collaborative writing website.
- I would like for every member of the group to be able to add, edit, and delete some content. I reserve the right to delete pages, but anyone should be able to reorder them etc. This part, I am pretty sure is possible with Drupal.
- I would like for the writers to work in a traditional word processing environment.
- Several users should be able to write simultaneously, without preference as to who logged in first, or who started editing first. Therefore, it would be great to have a way for any user to select a portion of text, a page, or a group of pages, and reserve them for editing, until done. Other users can edit other portions at the same time. Using color codes (highlights and font color) for what is being edited, and for revisions seems like a good way to go, if possible.
- I am not sure on how to handle revisions. I guess having the first user to log in create a new revision would be good enough. If there is a better way to do it, please suggest.

Hello, I think everything is in my title ...

I installed the Zen Classic theme that gives me a wonderful menu, the problem is that when I go into menu-> primary links and I put my entry as no example:

Home
Heading
1 Heading
1 Sub Section
2 Sub Section
3 Sub Section
2 Sub Section
1 Sub Section
2 Sub Section

The menu displays only Home, Category 1, Category 2.
So I'd like it to become down Show me the subheadings.

Thought I'd start by asking here

I need to build a site with the features of the modules/project.

I just need a punch list of modules I would need to build it.

About a year ago I started a similar project, but gave it up because it was going to take too much custom coding.

I don't have the time to make necessary "project section" code changes. I need already built and supported modules.

As I recall, at that time most of the code changes were available in patches and such.

Hi everyone,

I have a task to create a web site which is going to have lots of user generated content (UGC). I'm in the process of planning but I'm paralysed with my url alias paranoya. I'll explain a bit, one of the main requirements of the project is to have seo friendly url aliases. As far as I know, there should be lot's of content (blog posts, forum threads) and all with long seo friendly aliases. I'm a bit concerned about that. As my experience shows, big url_alias table brings big trouble. Same goes for a 'node' table.

Actually, I'm thinking about creating separate tables for each content type with url aliases built-in without mixing those UGC content types with main nodes and drupal based url aliases ... but I'm bit concerned about such approach, because I feel, that this is not a right approach from a Drupal perspective.

So here's how I'm planning to do, let's say, we have 3 content types:

1) Products, will be based on 'node', 'url_aliases' and core 'comments'
2) Blog posts, will use own 'blog_posts' table not anyhow connected to Drupal node table and url aliases table
3) Forum threads, same as in 2, own 'forum_threads' table

Actually, I'm in doubt, I think if I'm going to take this approach it is easier to develop everything from scratch, using something like CodeIgniter, not a Drupal.

I'm at a bit of a loss - I want to build a website, but I'm not sure if Drupal is the right tool for this type of site...

Basically, I want a site where people can send in their stories. I want it so that when people (average users, not necessarily computer-savvy) have written their stories, it will not be public until I (or, at a later stage, another moderator) have approved it. Once it is approved, the user should then be allowed to edit (append) to the story - but of course, each user should be able to edit only their own story!
