Before you start

Is there a tinyMCE version that will work with Drupal ver 6.1??

Thanks for your time.

So I am new to the Drupal discussion. What am I wondering is if I can use Drupal as more of a data management system. I set up my own sites, but I would like to use a cms as the back end of my sites. I want to use it to feed data to my sites and use Drupal as sort of the admin section. I don't want the templates and I don't want to change how my pages are made. I merely want to use it, along with php and mysql to generate my site content.

Is this possible? Am I way off? If I am using Drupal must I use their template system for web pages?

Hi,

We are currently evaluating different CMS for our student newspaper website. Up to now I only have tested drupal on a local system and still am not sure if it fully fits our needs.
Personally I have not that much PHP knowledge anymore as I have written only a few lines during the last four years. So..as long as I don't find somebody from the informatics faculty it will be hard to do a lot of changes =) Thus it would be a great advantage if I could get the basic functionality simply by installing modules.

Our newspaper is published three times per year (+ a student's calendar in autumn). At first the website only needs to offer basic content management functions. But in September we want to start with collaborative web based article writing.

We especially need the following features:

- news system:
- collaborative news writing (editors may change unpublished articles, version history required..)
- write anonymous articles
- Importing ODF-/Doc-Files
- InDesign Integration for print version (nice to have)

- download area
- e.g. for the download of the print version..nothing special

- Wiki for students
- Editing of wiki entries only for users from the university network
- Viewing for all

- Calendar:
- Everybody: Submit events
- Editors: Activate event in the calendar

- Forums
- internal (editoral staff)

I was trying to evaluate Drupal for use on a new site, and I had questions about its ablility to do the following in order to ensure its both SEO and Analytics friendly:

I dont have an extensive experience with databases so my question below may be naive but it is crucial to decide on the CMS that I am going to use. My question is this -

Hi sir,
I am developing a site in Drupal 5.7
Which theme I have to use to allow individuals (registered users) to put their own headings in their page?
i.e. the idea is to let individuals customize the heading on their page.
Is their any way to achieve this functionality?
