Before you start

I need to build a website for a small town / village and am wondering if Drupal is the way to go? I'm willing to invest time learning Drupal if the end result is what I need, but would appreciate knowing if my goals are within the realms of common Drupal.

Hello.

I'm interested in creating a blog that shows a timeline of events in the
1800's. Other than Wordpress and iWeb, I've found no blogging software
that will enable me to pre-date posts 2 centuries back.

The ability to add categories and/or tags is also important.

Can Drupal enable dating posts into the 1800's, and keep the dates in
historical chronological order, not the actual posting date, as I add them
in the coming years?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Is there a way to make a story item to forum topic automatically. I'm only interested in having general news as a forum topic for my users to discuss. Is this possible?

It would be nice if there was generated a link automatically to the forum topic after the news item has been posted. This is not a requirement - but it could be nice! :)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Is there a way to show content depending on language on the frontpage?

I'm not thinking about flexinode or the i18n-module - but my title-image - which I would like to have in different languages. Maybe this could also be used with banners without using the banner-module.

I'm looking forward to hearing from either of you...

I currently run a site that allows users to register, create their own albums, upload their own pictures. Also allows members to do all sorts of fun suff, i.e. rate pictures, comment, etc. However, I need more flexibility and I want to integrate a social-networking aspect to the entire site but the current script (coppermine photo gallery) is insufficient and I am displeased. I need more from it. Can drupal offer me these features and more? Even if it offers me the basic functionalities and it is easy to build on top of it, then that's fine too.

Hi:

I want to create a website where users can register and then send articles that i will review and publish.

Articles show be able to appear in a directory, yahoo like structure of from menus.
Articles should appear in rankings as most viewed, top rated etc, newest.

Then I want to be able to send mails with the new articles to users.

Any advice on modules to do this?

Thanks in advance.
