Hello!

I already have a news website built on Drupal, but now o work on another news website and at this point i have a problem...
What i need is to display a tree of terms like this:
News
--Industry
--Technology
X
--YY
--ZZ...
"News" and "X" are terms in a vocabulary. "Industry" and "Technology" are therms in same vocabulary but the have as parent the "News" term.
When i go to /news (the path alias of the "News" term) i want there to be list of all sub-terms of this term.
Another posibility will be to display teasers of the nodes in "Industry" and "Technology".

This thread is for colleges/universities who currently use or are planning to use Drupal.

My name is Greg Linch and I'm the editor of The Miami Hurricane at the University of Miami (Florida, USA).We're in the early stages of building our site.

To kick off the conversation, here are some blogs and posts discussing our redesign:

Just wanted to throw a link to this out there to see what people thought and try to find someone to hook Drupal up to their API. ;)

Hello All

I am working with an online youth media publication that is looking to upgrade their website/e-publication and I am looking to upgrade/switch them to Drupal. I need advice on the article adding, node add/edit screen and functionality.

We are beginning the development of a green building news portal and we are wondering if there have been any further advancements towards creating an install profile that covers many of the aspects of a good newspaper site. We are game to work with other end-users and a development team to arrive at this solution. What about someone who has a decent newspaper site that can have a generic version created to accommodate practically any type of focus topic? Am I over simplifying the task?

Thank you,

Greetings,

We (rue89.com) are giving a 2-days seminar to 15 african journalist/web project managers.
As the technical manage, I will give a presentation of drupal and why is it good for newspaper. We have used Drupal for 3 newspaper related website, so I am starting to know why drupal is good for that use. As an engineer I also know that I like Drupal for its technical qualities (think modularity, quality of code, performances; extensibility, ...).

One of my developers has put up a blog post explaining how he's using Drupal and Subversion.

Hello all,

I wanted to introduce myself, and our now-powered-by-Drupal sites, PilotOnline.com and HamptonRoads.com. I'm Jeff Anderson, and I work as the product development manager for the interactive division of The Virginian-Pilot newspaper based in Norfolk, Virginia. The Pilot is a top 50/60 U.S. daily newspaper by circulation size, and PilotOnline.com was one of the first newspaper websites to go online in the early 1990s. Along with its sister site HamptonRoads.com, a local portal focused on entertainment, community and local guides, we recently ranked No. 6 in the U.S. in terms of the percentage of users in a local market who use a particular locally-focused site. On December 10, we re-launched both sites on a customized Drupal 5.x platform.

Hi all,

I was wondering what the experience out there has been with drupal's memory consumption -- has it been an issue with your project?

Also, I'm curious if there were there other "gotchas" during your Drupal app development.

Our team here is working on a smallish city guide-type application (which will have a good amount of detail on the business listings), and we're forked on the soon-to-be-age-old question: Drupal or Django? I'm working on learning as much as possible before our raft takes to the river.

If you were to ask Santa Claus to bring you something to help your news site building/integration projects this year, what would you ask for?

Some examples: NITF import? NewsML import? Proprietary import from (fill in the blank legacy newsroom CMS)? Quark integration? InDesign integration? Web-to-print classifieds? Facebook tools? Javascript "badges?"

What would position Drupal as a more effective tool for you to improve your website, cut costs, connect with a larger audience, provide more effective community services, et cetera?

Post your answers below.
