Basically, I am trying to integrate a fully featured forum with drupal to replace the "list serv" messages from our yahoo group. Then, each user would obviously have a profile, etc. I was thinking something like phpBB where if a user created an account on drupal, their forum account would automatically be created. Also, yahoo groups has the "files" tab where files are seperated by folder etc. Users can upload to a specific folder and download. I want this kind of structure in drupal. For example, a link would be created on top called "Files" and then it would show the contents of perhaps a "root" folder. From here all users can upload/download, etc.

Any help?

I am basically looking to replace yahoo groups with drupal.

Thanks,
Diego M.

Start with Organic Groups (OG) add OG Files and OG Forum. Now what I would try is also add Content Profile, probably the Content Construct Kit (CCK). I would make a content type to represent a users profile and make a content profile and organic group. Note there are a number of additional modules related to organic groups.

There are a couple file manager modules that might be of use:

http://drupal.org/project/filebrowser
http://drupal.org/project/webfm

You could also do this by allowing your users to create nodes and attach files to the nodes. Require the users to select a taxonomy term and you have a hierarchical structure that resembles a file system structure.

This site is essentially a hierarchical list of nodes that privileged user can add documents to: http://professionals.cochlearamericas.com/ We're restricting it to a single file per node, but you could attache multiple files.

How did you setup your library section?
