College Website Migrating to Drupal
by Jai 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi, 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. 1. Each student of the college could have his own homepage on college's domain. As if http://collegedomain/studentpages/studentname. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 6. Different permissions will be defined for students, lecturers, community, library admin and management accounts. 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. Thanks, -Jai

Post upgrade forum block shows CCk content
by geniekids 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

I upgraded from Drupal 5.1 to 6.6 and while everything else is fine the forum block (both latest topics and most discussed topics shows a cck content rather than forum topics. When i go to admin>content and filter by forum topics - i get the forum topics list alright. But its the blocks that are listing the wrong content. I need to mention that i was using in 5.1 the forum taxonomy for categorizing some other cck content also (including the one that is now showing up) For other CCk content i was using views. Any idea how to set the forum blocks right. pl see www.geniekids.com -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Post-upgrade-forum-block-shows-CCk-content-tp20765600… Sent from the Drupal - Support mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
