Modules

I've recently come across the storm module. I'm exploring the ability to build a work group collaboration tool around this module along with the use of a variety of other tools. In a non-church effort, I've been researching all sorts of collaboration and project managment web services such as Basecamp, CentralDesktop, ACE, Sharepoint and some more. They've all had their issues in one area or another.

The flexibility of Drupal combined with storm may be able to bring us closer than any other options.

Greetings-

We have a need to come up with a Journal module for Drupal 5.x. I thought to start with Blog from the Drupal Core and adjust that to come up with Journal.

The trouble comes that Blog is very public, whereas Journal needs to be private on a per user basis, with possibly admin oversight. (I envision a check box on the "Access control" to enable this "root capabilities" mode.)

I keep trying suggestions, and always it seems when the suggestions do not work, then the last resort suggestion of installing one of the Access Control modules (TAC or TAC Lite) comes up.

I started working on a Bible Reading Plan module several months ago. It's one of my first Drupal module projects and I've gotten pretty far into the development but then I got side-tracked. I decided to start working on it again and would like to get some feed back from the Drupal community.

Short description of module:

There are some postings about modules especially for churches. But none of them are referring to modules which can handle services. Are they existing?

Maybe someone can use CCK etc for this. But is this the quickest / best way? Or are there other modules to give visitors an overview of the services that are coming.

If someone has a site with an example, please put it in the comments!

Does anyone have any opinion on the best way to handle image uploads / display for the non-technical users who are the regular maintainers of a church website? One of the big advantages of using Drupal at our church (http://www.stthomasrichmond.org) is that the end users can maintain and add the new content. However, I've always thought that the image handling in Drupal was sub-par and our final decision was somewhat of a compromise.

To me, the choices came down to IMCE and/or the img_assist module. Here is what I think are the pro's and con's of each:

What modules have you guys used or would recommend for building church websites? What have you found popular among churches in the past? What things have you found especially useful?

I'm designing a church website and we want to have a flash image rotator block on the front page. Ideally, a user could specify images and corresponding links on the back-end. Then the module would take the information and display it as a rotating flash file. When the user clicked on a particular image displayed it would take them to a part of the site.

Have any of you heard of something like this for Drupal? I know it exists for Wordpress and Joomla.

Hi Glad to find a churches group on here,

I just wanted to introduce myself and introduce a project I am working on. well I am Craig Bertrand...and this is the project...

We (The Missions Organization I work with) are starting a Christian Collaboration Community that will have the option to host civicrm for churches and other Christian groups and we will be trying to make civicrm "just work" for churches. We figure this solution should work for churches with no techie folks, or for those who just dont want to worry about maintaining a server and drupal/civicrm core.

Anyone have any experience with either Ecommerce module or Ubercart module for their church site? We would like to add shopping cart system to our site. Is one of these the way to go?
