Greets all... first post BUT in hopes of many to come.....
First off, I by no means have any php skills, but I don't mind getting into code to make changes (thanks to Vbulletin).
Ok... here is goes. I have been playing around (and waiting) with Joomla w/ Vbulletin. I whole site is to be based on my forum (Vbulletin), but with added content. I was hoping that I would be able to use Joomla with the Vbridge, but it's not doing what I had hoped.
So I am hoping to have some spefic questions answered (and feel free to enhance them to help convice me) about using Drupal that I do like from Joomla.
I have looked about the site for only a little bit... mostly continued "Read More" links, which is one of the items I liked about Joomla. But as many as I did follow, they all seemed to be just one pagers. I would like to know if there to display content (articles and not blogs) in a multi page format. Basically so that each article is not just one huge page but can be broken down to several... if needed.
Also, with Joomla, some of the content had a 'time' that it could be 'published' and then 'archived'. Does such a system exist. I have some items that I can put on the back end and set the time to show them and not worry about it, as it will be replaced with what will be coming nexted and archived (with links if one chooses to view
With Joomla, they use Sections>Catagories>Content and with SEO turned on (with an added SEO component) I could get my Sections>Catagories>Content to display Tutorials(Section)>Technical Studies(Catagories)> Moving Averages(Content). Is this also true with Drupal.
Thats for all of my rambling... as I do have a few others but these are the really big ones for me. Please add on any info thing that I might of left out as not knowing Drupal at all.

Some pointers
Regarding multi-page content, you could use the book module, it allows you to create new "books" and each book can have any number of "child book page" (think in terms of a tree, the new book is at the "root", the children at the new book you created). Note that child pages can have their own child pages.
Regarding timed publish and archived, there is a module (sorry can't recall the name) that should help you there.
Thanks Nevet... I will look
Thanks Nevet... I will look for this module that you are talking about.
I just found some thing interesting but still trying to figure out. CVS, can I have something like this on my site. I was wondering what would be a good way to doc my changes to my site. Though I would only want this to be viewable by Admins, but requests by editors or moderators.
Interesting.
Oh... forgot an important
Oh... forgot an important item (for me that is). Templating... though I havent gott'n into it yet... it appears to be alot more involved then what I have done with Joomla. Any good tutorials that some one has done to get the layout that I want to have... and what is needed for CSS?
