Before you start

I help run a mini football team down our local football club, within the club there are 22 teams.
They have never had an up to date website so I stupidly offered to help, its fine updating your own teams section each week but keeping up and league tables, fixtures and results for 22 teams is a pain in the rear.

I am wondering if Drupal is appropriate for a school district.

Does it support multiple accounts?

Specifically, if these accounts can be created, I would like each account holder to be able to manage their own space. For instance the teacher in one building to be able to log in and have access only to their own space.

Thanks,

Evan

About the Drupal FAQ, I'm finding its quick answers very helpful and interesting for new users. In my opinion, the FAQ should be more easy to find in the drupal.org website, maybe with a link from the home page:

I am trying to create simple textfield using drupal6 with below code

$form['foo'] = array(
  '#type' => 'textfield', 
  '#title' => t('bar'),
  '#default_value' => $object['foo'],
  '#size' => 60,
  '#maxlength' => 64, 
  '#description' => t('baz'),
);

by creating a page node with input format "php code", it creates well when I see preview it will not visible instead it displays nothing.

I am getting all text data but not php code written in( ).

I am looking to create a niche website that loosely follows the following model

- The frontpage is an updated collection of links to current news on the topic. Beside each link is a link to a forum topic where users can discuss the article.
- The news links are submitted by the users of the site. Our moderators get the chance to review and approve them, at which time they are published to the top of the frontpage (just the link to the external site, no teaser).

I saw this site that has a feature that I would like to know if it can be done in Drupal. The feature is that logged in members can keep track of submission status to directories that are listed in the site. I think that such a feature could be useful in many other areas, like keeping track of blog posts read or tutorials read. People can find articles they have read or see what is not read or new. Can something like that be done in drupal? Is there a module that will allow you do do something like that? Not being a programmer, I would need a module
