CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,

I have been reading through discussions on setting up multiple sites with Druapl and the modules of 'organic group sites', 'Domain access', 'Taxonomy', 'multi_site'... I have a situation where I would like to see what I have outlined below and am not sure which way to go... any guidance would be much appreciated. It seems Organic Group Sites (with CiviCRM) would be excellent but looks like its (Organic Groups Sites) not finished or there are other options? -

1. Hub Site (managed by host organisation)
Lists all the sub sites (which is why I liked Organic Group Sites) - the list will not be viewable by the public (only host admin) but can be searched because there may be several 100 subsites
Can list popular news/article/forum threads from sub sites
Has a central file repository of downloadable resources for users of the sub sites to get access to through the sub sites (or the hub)
Central calender (host admin access only) that lists all the sub sites events, can post some events to the general public, can post host events to all the subsites
Host can send messages to all users on all sub sites

2. Sub Sites
Subsites represent a group which may have several sub groups focusing on different work areas
They have access to create forum discussions, calender, upload files, image galleries, message each other (i.e. all the options available with OG functions as well as general modules
Users registered in one sub site can view other sub sites but cannot post unless they are subscribed/registered to the particular sub site
Host has access to all sub sites

3. Super Hub
Is it then possible to set up a 'super' hub site that can present major news/article/forum threads from several hub site?[/li][/list]


4. CiviCRM
I am interested in being able to have a civicrm database set up with the host that only the host can access
When ever a user registers on a subsite it creates an account in civicrm (as is with OG). The host can then take advantage of the function in that package to further activate sub group activities.

Thanks heaps in advance!!
