schestowitzI was about to install some before I realised these are only suggestions and not yet something to be implemeneted. It might be worth installing a few and keep only what suits the client best (their choice, not ours). Spuriously installing stuff leaves higher chance of security vulnerabilities...Jul 27 08:03
schestowitz> 2. Document Manager for uploading PDFsJul 27 08:03
schestowitzDrupal doesn't offer anyting sophisticated for managing PDFs, but Moodle that (although it's another section of the site). It should be possible to set up a peripheral Document Manager. DocMGR is a Fre/open source DMS based on PostgreSQL as its backend.Jul 27 08:03

schestowitzFor just the public site (i.e. less than 100 pages) anything other than the built in search may be an overkill. The site map can help too.Jul 27 08:03

schestowitzNot sure if a model can achieve this, but can custom-code this in MySQL, conecting to the Drupal database. There's room for reuse.Jul 27 08:04

schestowitzThe theme currently in place can be manually tweaked (at CSS level) to achieve this topological change, which then needs testing in some Web browsers. Do you want me to have a go? I've already modified the original theme.Jul 27 08:04
