Hello,
Is there anybody familiar with PHP who can help me with this issue? I just don't know PHP. I wanted to copy vocabularies as a non-programmer way of getting it done.
This gives me an opportunity to let folks know that I am now actively trying to build a Development Team for this very exciting project. Anybody who volunteers in the beginning will be very well rewarded as the project evolves.
Just to give you a quick intro. Our Consortium will offer Community, Business, and Real Estate development services.
The President is Cyrus Banks. Cyrus and I are both completely blind,. We have a goal to launch a local community publication which is easily duplicated globally.
I took on the challenge of conceptualizing and developing this system. I have found Drupal a great platform to build from. It is very accessible and friendly with my speech system. The only area I find hard to work with is themes. and... I just don't know PHP yet.
We want one system to manage content and we want to tie local communities together by giving them there own local view of one global network.
We also want to establish a networking group for each community which will meet weekly or monthly and use the system to collaborate. We have staff ready to recruit and build the appropriate human and business infrastructures in each community we develop.
We want to deliver are content in several ways. Step 1: Providing an online local resource. Step 2: printing a weekly magazine. Step 3: Delivering content Directly to PDA's and other personal digital devices. .Step 4: Launching a broadcast studio online and offering Audio and visual streaming.
Our eventual goal is to gather news from global citizen reporters and wire services and deliver in print, audio, visual, and other forms of media using a centralized Content Management System. We want to rival CNN, FOX, the Washington Post, and other players for news and information content. We believe by utilizing a grass roots approach, we can evolve into an 800 pound gorilla in the media business. We believe that we can go from being nothing to a key player in the media industry. The key factor to our success is if we can recruit talent with our limited resources. I believe Drupal has everything we need and it wouldn't take much to get to step 1 and 2. We just need to find a couple of people who know PHP. If you can help us with this dream, all of us will prosper.

Christopher,
I don't understand why you have to copy vocabularies.I'm assuming your content vocabulary is the one with 47 terms.
I'd imagine a story about a cat rescued from a tree in Washington might be tagged thus
(human interest, washington, 2005_06_13)
You'll want to set up a PHP page to display your stories. Your code can obtain the community name and the issue name from the URL arguments: If someone visits
www.example.com/newsletter/washington/2005_06_13
- newsletter is an alias for the page you have created.
- washington is the first argument, specifying the community
- 2005_06_13 is the second argument, specifying the issue
Your PHP script would then do a query to ask for all articles tagged with a community tag of "washington", and an issue tag of "2005_06_13". It would then iterate over the 'content topics' terms, and display articles matching content together (in date order, if you wish)
You can find an example of categorizing articles via a taxonomy at
http://www.bridgingtothefuture.org/newsletter_2005_05This is about a dozen lines of PHP - your code might be another few lines because you have the extra vocabulary for community.

Hello everybody, I was hoping somebody could help me with a PHP script or give me a suggestion that would easily allow us to copy a vocabulary. I am not familiar with PHP or programming. We have tried using groups but I can't make the content get presented in a organized news paper/magazine order in the group. I have also tried creating vocabularies of: content, community, issue The problem is there is no order to the nodes in the last two vocabularies only date order. My vocabulary has about 47 terms and it is designed to be local news, information, and discussion content for a community. I would like to copy the vocabulary so that I can build multiple communities easily. We also are going to publish the information in a weekly magazine. My firwst test community is Washington, DC. If you can help, please let me know. If it helps, we'll give you free advertising in our publication.
Best Regards Christopher
