Just looking for possible direction for ideas with 2.5 site - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
greetings all,
i did not see 1.7 forum apologize if incorrect place post. student of university of south florida , our technical communication , new media program has taken on project build knowledgebase program. after doing research between joomla or alfresco our cms. chose joomla because many people had things , learning curve looked though may not steep. plus there seems large dev community scattered about.
i not looking build site hoping draw discussion on components may work achieve our goal. since education, free best spending may in order if takes.
the primary function of site have sort of section particpating schools joint can add following type of information knowledgebase.
school name
specific name of program
year
semester
number of students enrolled
required core courses (obviously sort of text field)
number of faculty in program
number of tenure track faculty in program
number of grad students teaching in program
what type (if any) of rhetoric coursework required
placement information (where students go after graduating)
obviously sort of form page attaches database required this. system need have retrieval form of sorts. tick boxes in individual can choose schools , information fields included in query. query spits out page in whatever format easy export office document has information sorted chosen schools.
the secondary function of site serve basic networking portal. section professors write blogs or updates on current projects in program.
we went 1.7 because current host had 1 click install script , used 1.7. if necessary can updating prefer work on getting system proof of concept because future students can given task of progressing system. need first version off ground , live.
as said before, not looking build nor looking detailed instructions , hand-holding. after all, we're students , our duty learn. interested in hearing if has ideas on extension(s) may work project.
i had considered community builder secondary task of site , looks though may work. real hurdle right deciphering sort of extension (with little modification) serve primary role well.

as aside: have watched videos @ http://www.buildajoomlawebsite.com/ basic management of joomla down if know of other tutorials out there, not mind hearing it.
