Good morning! We are having a snow storm and the city is just a beauty!
I'm new with Drupal and I trying to figure out if it will be the best solution for my project.
I would like to build a community where members could choose between different profile types (each having specific fonctions).
It seems that Drupal has a «one profile for all» configuration. I managed to understand that using some modules and playing with permissions I could get Drupal to offer different profiles. But it's not «out-ou-the-box».
Thats where I ran somewhere in the forum into the multisite.
Would it be possible to have a social community running arond a multisite installation where every «site» would have a specific profile (one profile per sub-site)? But members of «site.1» should be able to make friends with members of «site.3» and join a group on «site.6», etc. And a member of «site.2» could make a search throughtout all the installations, etc.
Would that be possible with Drupal? Would that be a way to offer to members different profiles in the join process?
Thanks for your time. Now i got snow to get out of the driveway...

I don't think is the right
I don't think is the right way to go. You could use multisites and share the users and profiles between the subsites, then with http://drupal.org/project/profile_role or http://drupal.org/project/profile_permission you can create fields for specific roles. If you go with content profiles, that means that the profile is a node, and you can create as many profiles as you need, but you won't be able to share the profiles with the subsites because that way you'll need to share the node table.
