Alumni

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Welcome to the Alumni drupal group. This is the place to collaborate with others on creating, growing and maintaining web sites dedicated to alumni, such as alumni of a given high school, college, or even company.

I have created a few stub pages to begin organizing this group's content. Hopefully others who have content to contribute can edit and add it to the existing pages or create new pages.

Also feel free to contact me directly.

How to create an Alumni directory

I have been involved with creating several Drupal-based alumni websites. One of the most requested feature, by clients, is an alumni directory; a tabular listing of all registered alumni with links to the alumni's profile(s).

Below is a basic how to implemented an alumni directory using contributed modules. This howto is based on Drupal 5.x, however, you can use the same approach with Drupal 4.7.x.
I hope this is helpful for others who are building Drupal-based alumni websites.

Handling Roles and classes

I´ve posted at the Drupal Forum a certain problem that I have, and I would like to know if anyone of you have ever have this kind of issue in the past. And if you have, please give me a clue about how to solve this :-)

I´m running a site (of an NGO) that gives all their users free access to articles and information of a certain area. People do not need to registrate.

Objectives of Alumni Group

I suppose it would be a good idea to work out some objectives for this group. So, here's something to start with. Look forward to other suggestions and improvements.

  • Gather links to good examples of drupal-based alumni web sites
  • Document, develop and share best practices on how to run an alumni website (perhaps, even on how to to run an alumni association/organization?!)
  • Create "DrupalAlumni" - a drupal distribution specifically for setting up an alumni web site
  • And of course, to network and socialize with like-mind cyber citizens

Anything else? Don't be bashful!
