information organization for a magazine website
by Gezim Hoxha 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

Hey all. I'm totally new to drupal. I read the PDF getting started guide and I found it very useful. Thanks to the drupal community for all your hard work. I'm trying to make a web site for a magazine and I'm looking for some advise from the veterans. First, I need to tackle the information organization issue. The magazine has a number of issues in one series (about 6 issues/each series). Each issue has a number of articles. I'm not sure if it's better to make each article just a story and then add a taxonomy to link it to a specific issue or whether to have issues as a book? How would I represent a series? Now, a bit in the implementation end. I on the right side of the front page a list of stories (blog site) and right side of main page list of all the articles for the current issue. What's the best way of doing this? Thanks in advance for any pointers that you might be able to give me. Regards, -Gezim

Is there a way to "lock" taxonomy selections for a node after publication?

I have many OG group node content types where both the URL and the title are created automatically from the taxonomy settings. So when a user creates a new group and selects the location to be USA >> Texas >> Dallas: Title: My Group (Texas, Dallas, USA) URL /group/usa/texas/dallas/mygroup Is there a way for me to prevent that group administrator/creator from going back and changing the taxonomy terms a year down the line and therefore changing both the title and, more importantly, the URL with all its implications for SEO, site organisation, broken links, etc.?? How can I "lock" taxonomy on publication? Is that doable? Regards Neil
