On our site
http://pregnancyandbirthconnection.com/ we are trying to have it more educationally focused with 7 main categories on the front page. We'd like to have 7 different pages, corresponding to the 7 categories, each one containing (or at least linking to) articles, a forum, videos, and photos that only deal with that particular subject. Is there any feasible way of doing this without mucking around too much in the code? Give us an idea of what it might take to do this. We'd greatly appreciate any ideas and suggestions, as well as even more detailed instructions on working with the code, if need be. THANKS!!!
Sounds like an application for the groups feature, with a few group mods.
Groups already have a forum, albeit a single one, so you wouldn't be able to have sub forums, or multiple forums.
Group Albums Mod .... greatly enhances group photos functionality.
Group Scheduler Mod ..... Allows you to maintain a calendar of group activities.
Group News Module ..... Allows you to post group News/articles.
Group Video Chat ..... adds a video/text chat room to groups.
As you can probably see, I like AndrewP's group mods, and have all of them on my site. If you needed group Video Albums, or group Sound Albums, I bet I could talk him into doing those as well.
