Before you start

Hi,

I'm looking for a CMS and can't decide between joomla and drupal which was recommended by one of my friends. Do you know if there's a module similar to this one:
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/li... on drupal?

I need such tool to create the main part of my website and I'm looking for(if that's possible) free alternatives..

Thanks,
M.

I have a few existing websites, styled and structured, which need the flexibility of a content management framework as I'm moving forward with them. I am wondering how easy it might be to retro fit these heavily styled, very design-oriented websites with Drupal. Will I need to tear them down and start from scratch? Or is it just a matter of entering my existing content into Drupal, and creating barebone versions of my pages and inserting some variables?

Hoping for the latter.

Hi all, I've been asked to do some work on a site and I would like to migrate it into Drupal since there isn't a whole lot to the site yet but some of the functionality they are asking for will be easy in Drupal I think.

The site is www.pickeringtonchurch.org

I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice in getting started, I have Drupal installed and running on my server and am playing around with it.

We're setting up our Drupal site in the next month or so, and one of our biggest concerns is how we're going to maintain our bimonthly email newsletter, and various eBlasts. I see that there is a module called SimpleNews which appears to be a solution, but I'd like to find out what experienced users are using.

We send out approximately 15,000 emails per month based on a mailing list of about 5,000. Are the newsletter modules available for download through this site open-source as well? Do they require a limited number of subscribers or emails? Are they pay-by-email?

Hi All-

This is my first post here so please forgive me if this is not the right place to do it. I am trying to achieve a specific way to display my blog posts and "projects" (those will be a different content type).

You can see the effect here: http://www.poccuo.com/ I would like to show the 3 latest Projects side by side and then the 5 latest blog posts below also side by side.

My question is can i do this with Views or Panels? Or is this something i need to build into the theme.

Hi this is the website I'm wanting to make

http://www.sourcingbali.com/

The main thing is the product catalogue, it only allows you to see the prices once you've signed up and when you choose your products it puts them into a quote form and sends it back to the site owner for pricing.

Is there a module that I will do this.
