i will have standard web pages along with the forum. I plan to have a shopping cart (well i think vb can do that with mods), i want the users to be able to have thier own profile pages (
www.mydomain.com/my_profile), ability to put up content pages based on a given topic, having community based content pages so that others can edit and contribute to that page (think wikipedia how people can edit a page that anyone can create). I am also going to have training based pages in a given area of expertise. theres more but i cant think of them off the top of my head. I want a community driven sight where others can collaborate and work together on a page or discuss topics. The profiles i want them to be able to customise them to an extent. Im starting to think i should make 2 seperate sites and have them "affiliated" with each other but i would still like them to share the same member base (if you sign up with us you will also get an account on our partnership site). that might work better. getting an extra domain is no problem. do you think that would be easier? i mean just to share the customer database between the two sites? vbDrupal isnt as up to date as i would like to be (keeping hackers and spammers in mind and also features in a newer version)
