I'm pretty much with Mr. Fienen on this one in that on Facebook we try to stick with the positive in order to foster marketing, admissions, etc. However in such a circumstances our official homepage usually has a message of condolence.

1.) This is fairly straightforward when you begin to grasp the permissions system. Although coming from Joomla it might take a little more time to make sense out of how Drupal uses permissions. 2.) Yep, although with a little work you can limit edi…

I've been looking at this from a department level as our department's course fees exceed the tuition for most semesters. At this point however we haven't made much headway and I'm interested to see if anyone has.

We're also going over to Google Calendar. Our campus has been on Google Apps for a while now so using Google calendar on the web provides a familiar and easy solution for our audience.

We're so decentralized that moving in the opposite direction would be a major hurdle as many units, including my own department, employ a web person or staff of their own. As such there are a number of us that run our own CMS systems and other syste…

We've used VBulletin in the past. Excellent software, excellent support, you OWN all your data, and it wasn't too expensive.

Joomla had three major issues and one minor issue that turned us to Joomla. First was content organization you cannot arrange content as intricately with Joomla as you can with Drupal. The second was the lack of ACL (I do know this is supposed to be…

For us a multiple CMS system has proven to be effective. For our main site we have been using a home-built CMS for 11 years. However with the growth of the OSS products we are in the process of changing. Our choices were Joomla, Drupal, and DotCMS.…

I've looked into dotcms as well, however I've found the community to be rather lacking. Hopefully however that will change as the product continues to develop.

We've gone with a combination of a couple systems. For our main web presence we are switching to Drupal after an exhaustive comparison of both it and Joomla. In the end Drupal simply had less limitations and, from a developer point of view, a better…

Assuming it can always be turned back off I say go for it.

Thanks for pointing it out. I hadn't seen it previously however I think it might work wonders for some of our faculty.

As our campus has such a decentralized web presence there is a little of both. The vast majority is hosted internally but there are a few departments and other groups who choose to host off-campus for various reasons. As to thoughts on the matter,…

Although we haven't had much success with Twitter as a recruitment tool, we have had far more success in it's use as a support tool for existing students and for alumni communications. In both cases the cost and ease of use of Twitter by both the de…

Hello all, Wondering how many members host their college web sites in house and how many contract the services of an external host? What factors lead to your decision? If you host your site in house, who does the server maintenance- yourself/someone…
