Before you start

Can drupal keep files separated by files and project names? For example, John logs in and see all files he has access to. He can view them but NOT upload. Steve, his boss, sets up two other projects for different users, each being able to view their own projects and NOT the others' files.

If this can be done, please suggest which modules would be used.

Many thanks.

Hello all!

I'm wondering how feasible it might be to do what I want to do.

I've got several different projects, which each have their own domain names. But there are connections between them. E.g. a page on www.blue.co.uk (made-up name for the sake of illustration) might have a topic in common with a page on www.green.co.uk.

Currently, most of it is on plain HTML. But recently I started considering using Drupal for an overhaul of one of the sites.

Then, as I've been checking out Drupal, it's occurred to me that there would be advantages to having both www.blue.co.uk and www.green.co.uk being served from one install, using some version of URL mapping. That way, they could both share some Drupal taxonomy vocabularies. Then e.g. if someone came to www.green.co.uk and found something they liked, they could click on the taxonomy tag for that topic, and the results listing would include things from the "blue" site too. That strikes me as v cool :-)

I've been searching around and reading round the subject quite a bit, and I've seen the Domain Access project,
http://drupal.org/project/domain
but not yet discovered anything exactly (reassuringly :-) ) the same as what I want to do.

Couple of specific questions:

I have been evangelizing Drupal at my latest company and am 99% of the way to having my boss convinced that Drupal is a good platform for our next company site (which is good considering most of the work is already done!). I have but one question. Concerning caching, I have always used it and assumed that whatever needed to be cached was and never put too much additional thought into it. My boss, a 36 year IT veteran wants to know exactly what is being cached, so is it the content, the queries or both?

Hi there,

how is the following possible with drupal?

german language -> on company.de
english language -> on company.com
french language -> on company.com/fr

Is, and when how, this possible with one drupal installation? On each page should be a language switcher, which switches to the appropriate page, ie I m on the English "corporate information" page, then I switch language and I m on the ie german "corporate information" page, not on the german home page.

Any hints are appreciated!

Thanks
