sections

I am looking for guidance on how to best create a system to allow a group of users to create customizable projects. Requirement is that a project (space) should be able to add various project needs (sections). This includes allowing users and different internal teams to have custom versions of a section(s). The solution should be easy for project admins to use.

I know there is a means to blueprint but it seems that I will never be able to create every one of the options needed.

My initial thoughts:

I am currently given consultancy to a newspaper and there is only one thing that we cannot find a solution that fits the clients needs.

The management of the front page.

This are the requirements:

1) Drag & Drop interface
2) Can attach to the frontpage any type of content defined.
3) User can define new regions to relate content in the front page.
4) User can override a taxonomy term page with the front page
5) Can override the image, title, link and short text associated with the related content in the cover without leaving the front page manager.

I know I'm missing something simple, but I've tried every combination of reordering zones and regions in delta, but everything I've tried pushes the logo down since they all have to be configured to at least 12 grids.

All i'm trying to do is have the logo left, and the menu right in the header section.

I've attached a screen shot. Could someone give me their settings for for that so I can get my head around positioning using sections and zones?

thank you

We are growing an increasingly large library of summer softball articles; would a collection of these make an appropriate topic hub? Has anyone created a topic hub? Also, could a topic hub be substituted for a section? That is, we could create a topic hub for school coverage, or crime coverage?

Hi everybody,

I started using Drupal a few months ago and am now redesigning the newspapers website that I work for. Before, we had a local web development company creating it for us, but they've become pretty unresponsive to your requests over the past year, so we've decided to create it in-house using Drupal.

Maybe this is a newbie question, but I'm sure everybody has ran into. It regards sections for our news site.

I have set up a Taxonomy vocabulary called "Sections" and inside of it there is a hierarchy for our consistent articles that run each week. Example:
