My name is Heidi, and this is my first Joomla forum post! I first was a Mambo girl, but the day Joomla came out, it was easy for me to make the switch. I've been loving it ever since.
I am finally ready to work on my first really big Joomla project. My former high school has just created an alumni association for the 1800 plus students who have graduated from our fantastic high school. We have created a small volunteer "web team" right now that will build the website over the summer. We know that once the framework is up we can tweek it to our hearts content, but right now we want to get organized, and have a good setup.
Here are a few questions I can think of at the moment:
1) We are planning on having alumni and current students add content to the website themselves. How have you set up the levels for them to have the ability to add content without getting into the admin areas where they shouldn't be?
2) Has anyone out there worked on a Joomla site where there are multiple classes, or groups of students? How have you organized the sections and categories?
3) any helpful hints you want to pass on to a site that is clean and fresh and new? What would you have done differently if you could start over with a clean slate?
I'll have more questions along the way, but I'll start with this. Thanks in advance for your help!
Have a super day!
Sincerely,
Heidi
