Deprecated - Social software and communities

hi,

i'm looking for a way to do customizable dashboard pages kind of like google apps dashboards - i.e. not only to be able to add & remove blocks of content, but also to be able to move blocks around through drag&drop and have block preferences.

would the panels module be a good place to start and how much custom coding does it take?

has anyone gone this route? any pointers to share?

thanks

Hello all you Drupal heads!
If someone in the know feels this post is inappropriate for this venue, just let me know.
I am walking across the U.S. wearing a big sign, talking to people and trying to gain exposure for a website (http://www.mindsmaymeet.org/) where I will periodically leave content as I go.
The sign says: mindsmaymeet.org, walking coast to coast, talking about us.
At that website I am trying to start a big, I think vital conversation that basically aims at uncovering why it is that our species seems fated to repeat history. By repeat history I mean to not develop past certain milestones of self realization, a phenomenon which I feel gives rise to and/or perpetuates virtually all divisive or intractable issues. Furthermore I will be trying to discuss what can be done to bust us out of this rut I've mentioned.

I have a client seeking a Solid Web Developer expereinced in Drupal developing and programming

Maybe i am missing something but :

# I use Organic groups 5.x-3.1.
# I have created a specific role for the group administrators. I want them to administrate their own group (it works), edit the content - stories, pages - created by the members (it works)

BUT

# by default, stories and pages are unpublished (I want this) - and i want group administrators to moderate the content of their own group.

If i am right this is possible only if i let them administer nodes ?
But in this case they are also able to administer other groups...

Any idea ?

I am looking to add the ability for participants in my site to create their own maps with guided tour information and share these maps with other participants. Is this possible?

Hi,

I have created a forum with Drupal. but when seeing that it takes hundreds of administration tasks, I think to create the DrupalBB distribution, so that everybody can have a forum installed without making these hundreds of admin tasks.

This distribution is in early stage. You can test the forum working in http://www.esdrupal.org or download the distribution from http://www.esdrupal.org/distribucion-drupalbb

I setup a test forum for anonymous users.

The forum is in spanish, but if you have interest please let me know and I try to write an english documentation.

The installation process is:

1. Dowload drupalbb-5.2-1.tar.gz and install it like Drupal
2. Dump the database drupalbb-5.2-1.sql.gz over the database created by DrupalBB at 1.
3. Login with user admin y password admin and customize your site.

The forum was created using the following contrib modules:

* Taxonomy Access Control
* quote
* pathauto
* Codefilter
* flatcomments
* subscriptions
* Privatemsg
* XML sitemap (ex Google Sitemap)
* Mark as Read
* LoginToboggan
* captcha
* textimage
* BUeditor
