I been researching recently to jump to a CMS system which can reduce lot of my work I used to in ASP for websites. I been hearing lot about DRUPAL, Joomla, Xoops and others. But I see lot of support and community for Drupal and people who already did drupal websites tell good things about it.
I would like to setup a site or a research group that has multiple projects. Each project should maintain its own sub-site, which has to conform to a uniform design/look. For instance, each project will have an overview page, a page with the people working on it, and then optional pages such as list of publications, downloadable software, FAQ.
I have been asked about the possibility of integrating a phpBB forum into a Drupal site (believe me, there are very good, if complicated reasons for doing this). I know quite a lot about phpBB, and nothing about Drupal, although I do know that it is possible to do this.
The most pressing question I need answering is about permissions. Will it be possible to set different permissions within the phpBB forum to those within the Drupal site, and to define the phpBB permissions from within the phpBB forum?
ok, being more than a 2 year old member, this may sound odd but I have history of asking such stupid questions :) and is not ashamed to ask ...
The thing is, How flexible is drupal so I can do Anything and I mean anything with it. Like after building a site, if I feel like..Hmmm lets add this custom feature and than after few months, again I feel like lets add this feature etc. I will ofcourse pay good money for the work to be done but was wondering, what if the Coders say, Hey, this can't be done by Drupal, you chose wrong platform. Go with RoR or Django!
