Is CiviCRM right for a public directory?
January 28, 2010, 09:11:19 am
Hi guys,

I hope you can help me. I'm looking to use Drupal to redesign a website for an association of people. The site would require a public directory, viewable by anyone, that the admins of the association could update through the CMS. From what I've seen so far, I *think* Civi can do this, but I'm not sure.

Also, as i was exploring the CiviCRM features, I realised that possibly I could set it up so that the association could manage their whole society through it+Drupal. What i mean by this is that the members could sign up to the site, then an admin could verify that they were actual members of the society, and then the member could update their own details (with or without an admin approving the change to details). Also the admins could organise meeting and events, and also even collect the membership fees for the society in general with CiviCRM?

If so, this is a massively cool system, that I am hopefully going to enjoy getting to grips with. The primary goal though is a searchable, easily editable public membership directory, is Civi the right tool for me? (Are there .csv export facilities too?)

Thanks for any help in advance,

Rob

P.S. Could each member have their own public profile page even?

Yes on all your points.

You'll want to explore the CiviCRM "listings" and "profile" functionality for the directory.
