<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hi, <br>
<br>
I am in process of transforming my college's website from old dead static page
site to drupal powered website. These are the features I am thinking to
implement. <br>
<br>
1. Each student of the college could have his own homepage on college's domain.
As if <a href="http://collegedomain/studentpages/studentname" target="_blank">http://collegedomain/studentpages/studentname</a>.
The student should have control on that page only. Under his homepage tree, he
should be able to create hierarchy of content. i.e. child nodes under his home
page. <br>
<br>
2. Lecturers and other staff of the college should also have their home page
under the their department's category where they could upload their Resume etc.
Now while showing a listing of computer science faculty members, that list
could be fetched dynamically from the content provided by them on their
pages. <br>
<br>
3. In the same way, each society of the college should have their home page. It
will be having same capabilities as user pages. e.g. their home pages and
ability to create other nodes as child of the home page.<br>
<br>
4. There should be a group page for each society. Only the members of that
society ( e.g. members of the tech club in our college) should be able to
subscribe to that group. They could discuss their issues on the group forum. <br>
<br>
5. I would like to fetch content dynamically from pages named Latest News and
Upcoming Events to two different blocks on the front page. The block which is
containing latest news will have 5 news stories, then each news story title
should feature a small image along with it.<br>
<br>
6. Different permissions will be defined for students, lecturers, community,
library admin and management accounts. <br>
<br>
I would like to know about the modules needed for these tasks or other
resources which will be helpful here. Right now, I am experimenting with CCK
and Views and they look to be quite important for implementation of some of the
tasks. <br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
<br>
-Jai<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
