Hi I'm concidering Drupal for a web site I'm building.

I've installed Drupal and I'm now playing around with it

I've build the site, but I need a content manager like Drupal, because updating the front page with news has to be easy.

the front page of the site can be found here www.spillsammen.no/side

The site uses a mysql database to store information about the site's members.

is it possible to integrate the registration of this information into the standard Drupal member registration process.....

Sorry if my questions are unclear... I'm such a noob

Depending on how much information you want to store, you pretty much have two options.

The simpler option is using the profile module. You can include information you want to be part of your registration on the site.

The more complex option is CiviCRM. It is a Customer Relationship Database. That keeps track of a heck of a lot more information in an easy to search through interface.

And don't forget to look at the user import module for getting the members into your drupal installation

Thank you both for answers.

I've looked at the profile module, but it doesn't have all the functionality I need. I've downloaded and installed CCK, node family and node profile etc, but I've no Idea how to use the modules to create a custom registration page. Some guidance would be great.

Edit: I made a new thread about it here http://drupal.org/node/154228
