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.

- Developing DrupalAlum - the Drupal distribution for an Alumni web site

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
Last updated by ebrittwebb on Sat, 2007年01月13日 21:07
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!
