New magazine style site with CiviCRM core!?
May 18, 2009, 03:44:35 am
Hi,

I am wanting to start a new magazine style site with CiviCRM core and potentially a Drupal face (+ some functions) and was hoping some folk could give me few tips on how to integrate and appropriate structure. The site will need the following functions

1. free monthly newsletter
subscription based - containing general info, some ads, plus a summary of the latest 'public section of the site' content.

2. Paid monthy e-zine/magazine
Paid suscription based - containing general info, some ads, plus a summary of the latest 'private section of the site' content. The e-zine can also be downloaded as a pdf (possibly using Drupal - E-publish, http://drupal.org/project/epublish). Monthly E-zine's need to be archived.

3. Shopping cart
There needs to be a shopping cart associated with product advertisments in the site, newsletter and ezine

4. Discussion forum
suitable discussion forum for paid subscribers

5. CRM
I intend to integrate civicrm to manage clients which will be able to post the newsletter/e-zine and have follow up emails/communication with tracking of service history. This will also allow for grouped correspondance based on identified client preferences. That are submitted with the users registration.

I would really appreciate any help people could give.

Thanks in advance!!

cameron

Sounds like you have a good base to work from if you

use civicrm + ubercart + og

You can use the og for the 'forum' aspect you require.

Free newsletter if fairly obvious 'sign-up' using civicrm profile or again in to OG.

Paid zine via CiviMember I expect.
