Drupal for a Multiuser System?
catcat - April 10, 2008 - 08:38
Hi there,
I am new to Drupal and want to ask a few things.
I have a site running with WordPress MU (Multiuser) and I am not really happy. (I can do what I want: My WP-MU is a honeypot for spamers)
Now I want to setup a new site and I am searching another System how can gimme this features:
- A new user can register very easy and quick.
- A new user becomes a own subdomain with his prefered name.
- A blog (or a new Drupal-Installation) is automatically setup on the new subdomain.
- The user can change the given themes, plugins on his own blog/subdomain.
Can I reach this needings with Drupal 6.2?
I had rented for the new site a V-Server with 40 GB HD, 2x Xeon 2.4 GHz and 1 GB RAM, 42 MB php MEM.
Can I run on this environment such a Drupalsystem - if its existing?
Sorry, for this noobish post, but I am a Drupal beginner.
Drupal is perfect for
Drupal is perfect for everything you ask for... with the exception that I can't speak to the subdomain part of the question. I am sure there's probably a contrib module for it as there seems to be one for just about everything, but I haven't run across it yet. I personally run a few blogs that are very thin in terms of scope that I have chosen to not not move off of Wordpress... not multiuser in any way except for the ability to remain logged in between visits and have their information saved on the server... Once you go beyond that simplest of users, Wordpress really starts to give you every indicator your need something more. Drupal was made from the group up for all these purposes for multiple users.... individual blogs created automatically (if you so choose,) you can allow them to select their own theme, registration is a snap... so if you dig around about the subdomain question on the modules section of this site, I bet you will find that it meets all of your needs.
hope this helps.

Subdomain module
http://drupal.org/project/subdomain
Thx for help
Well, I was exploring this site now a few hours and found a lot of nice things.
This plugin: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/blog a blogsystem for Drupal is for v 5.x.
The hint from the poster above: http://drupal.org/project/subdomain is also for v5.x.
Means this Recommended for... recommended or it works only in this version?
(Its a general question about this, not only for this 2 Plugins.)
=-=
5.x modules only work on drupal 5.x
6.x modules only work on drupal 6.x

Sorry about that, catcat.
Sorry about that, catcat. I failed to look at the version number before I posted. I'm use to the days before version 6.
There is a blog module in Drupal 6. It's distributed with core. I believe that handbook page just needs to be updated to say version 6 as well.
Also, about the subdomain module. Maybe you could submit an inquiry in the support section to see when or if that module will be updated to work with Drupal 6.
Cheers
