Before you start

Hello all,

I have been given a list of requirements for my employers new website, and am considering whether to use Drupal or a PHP Framework. I haven't used either before, though I have PHP/SQL experience, and also some experience of MVC. My main concern is completing the project quickly (and successfully). The requirements are:

1. Ability to update pages/create new sections, including having multiple images on a page and alter layout by a layperson (I couldn't see this ability in the Drupal demo?)
2. A dynamic searchable page containing research publications, which are pdf documents uploaded by an admin. (Is it simple to embed your own PHP code in a drupal page?).
3. A members section, which has 4 levels of subscription. Depending on the level of subscription you are able to see more or less uploaded documents (which are sortable/searchable/pagination).
4. Ability to choose (and save for next visit with cookies) a small or large font-size stylesheet.
5. A printing button, which displays the page with a different stylesheet (to hide the menus etc.)
6. A dynamic vacancies system, which lists the vacancies then feeds the details into an online application form.
7. Main navigation menu has sub-menus which drop down.
8. Auto-generated sitemap.

Hello,

We're preparing an e-commerce website for selling products online. There are few alternatives we might choose from, but I'm particularly interested in the Drupal + Ubercart solution.

Hi all, we are looking for the right CMS system for our university's new department site, the only complex thing is the authentication system:

Everyone can register, but admins need to approve them and assign them the appropriate groups. It's better if they can choose the group they should be in when they register as well (we will have to approve though).

1. The Student section:
Front end:
This section has classes with materials for each classes (lectures, videos, .....).We need to assign specific classes to each student, and we need a way to do it effectively. If possible, we would love to set "expiration date" as well, so at the end of the semester students will be automatically removed from these classes.

Also, there are some specific info all students should be able to view such as: event calendar, etc...

Back end: we need to assign professors to classes, they should be able to add, edit content for classes at least. It would be nice if they can assign students to classes as well.

2. The Staff sections:
This is almost the same with the student section. We will have some pretty important info which we do not wish anyone other than the authenticated persons to be able to view.

Hello,
I am familiar with php and mysql but I'm a drupal noob. I'm trying to build an anime portal for a club(not a place where u can watch anime; but a portal for a college club).

I have plans to create a directory website where members of certain trades can register their details for a small fee.

I need a basic homepage with a search system and/or titles for different categories..

Does anyone with experience in developing one of these have any pointers? Modules etc?

Many thanks

Howdy,

Can Drupal be setup with either eCommerce or Ubercart to allow memebers access to a specific page where they can post pictures/items to sell? Specifically, upload an image, add a description and finally add a price? Almost like a blog but they can update info and set their own price on those items?

Thanks in advance!
