Newspapers on Drupal

I'm really making headway into having a very usable website here, and I hope I'm not bugging anyone by asking for some expert advice.

I'm wondering how other newspapers, using Drupal 6, are handling online classifieds?

I've noticed there doesn't seem to be a workable out of the box solution for classifieds, especially if one wanted to charge someone to upload a picture, charge by the line inch, etc... But with this many newspapers using Drupal, I figure someone out there has to have done this before, and I'm just wondering what their solution was.

I'm wondering if anyone here can offer a little advice on handling something as simple as an author byline in our workflow.

Our reporters write their stories in NewsEditPro from MediaSpan, and later on in the day our editors drop those into our InDesign pages. Those same editors also handle uploading the stories to our website everynight. This leaves me with the problem of the story being entered by someone who didn't write it.

Is there a slick way to handle getting the right author name on a story?

I'm trying to set up a newspaper site that utilizes images well. I want to be able to upload images inline, but also use those same images elsewhere in galleries, etc...

Ideally, it would be best that the images are nodes.

There is a similar discussion on this that mentions using Node reference to accomplish this. Can someone walk me through how I can do this, if this is the best way to do this?

Also, I need the image to have a captions and photographer credits.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Why image appears under the heading should be above the heading, some one help me please, im use drupal 6, imagefield, image cache

Theming a node in the node.tpl.php only gives you to options, full page view or teaser! What do you do, if you want to theme the same node in several different ways depending on what region the node is shown in?

The thing I'm trying to do is, to have a node (an article) be a top story in the "Top story" region one day, and another story in another region the other. That is, I want to be able to theme a node differently depending on region.

I would like to do it in node.tpl.php, but as I see it, there are no variables available in a node that can tell you what region the node is in.

Hi, can any one help me how to make website like this, use what module?

Thanks

Jacksonville.com, the website of the Florida Times-Union, won the 2009 EPpy award for "Best Community Service Application in a Media-Affiliated Web Site with fewer than one million unique monthly visitors" for its social media efforts. The Drupal-based site features open blogging for the community, Twitter integration, and social networking tools such as buddy lists and profiles. The site relaunched on the Drupal platform last December.

Justin McLachlan has created a Ning network, Journalists / Coders, that might be of interest to some of the folks here. I created a Drupal group within it. So far, the site seems dominated by Django/Rails users, so feel free to change that. :-)
