Before you start

I'm investigating Drupal to see whether it is a suitable solution for my particular organisation. My question is about granularity of user permissions.

I can see from the documentation that users can be assigned roles and, depending on that role, be able to perform different functions like publish stories across the board.

Hi ..

Im looking for a script that can be good for a bloging network, the site isnt for giving free hosting for blogs, only for collecting other blogs (WP and blogers or others) and the site only displays the new posts in these blogs and the new members or blogs add to the site also featured blogs will be a good idea.

I was told that i can do this with Drupal but i really dont know.

So can i do it with Drupal ?!

Thank You

Hi

How difficult would it be to enable users to comment articles/stories/pages on forum? So when user posts coment it's actually placed on the forum, not in the comments. Of course such comments should still be visible under the commented node... Excerpt of the original node text should be posted on the forum as first post in the topic.
Are functions to do such operations (creating & displaying nodes, adding comments to them) easy to use & well documented?

i am new in drupal and i am not getting any ideal how i can create a simpal page in drupal.

Hi,

before investing time in Drupal — and it looks very powerfull — I would like to know if it will match the requierments of my concept or if I will have to «squeeze» my project to fit into Drupal.

The project: I would like to build an internet community where members can have an adapted profile with specific options attached to each profile. In other words, will I be able to offer different profiles to different types of members? Say, a profile for music lovers with a mp3 player and a profile for skateboard lovers with a video player for them to show off. It should be possible to make that choice directly from the join form.

I've tried with Boonex Dolphin community site and the main problem is that new members cannot choose right from the join page the profile they want. They all log in and than, choose what they want. And many other ready to use community software share this «one size fits all» logic.
