I am a new TCH customer...I am trying to setup a family groups site...very similar to MSN groups. <br /><br />I am trying to have the following:<br /><br />1) Secure Sign on (once they sign on they should be able to use all the features..)<br /><br />2) Message Board<br /><br />3) A blog<br /><br />4) Place to upload files to share<br /><br />5) Photo Galleries.<br /><br />Is there one package that would fit all these requirements or do I have to have a combination of a few?<br /><br />I would love to hear from all you experts!!<br /><br />Thanks in advance<br /><br />Ram<!--content-->
Welcome to the forum, Ram. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />I would look in to a Content management system, such as joomla, drupal or others.<br />Both of the above can be found in Fantastico in your cpanel.<!--content-->

Ram,<br /><br />Welcome to the TCH forums. When you get something together, I'd love to see what you end up with. I've wanted to do something similar for a while now, but I've been too busy to actually *do* it. So I'd love to see your end result.<br /><br />Good luck. If we can be of further assistance, don't hesitate to ask!<!--content-->

One way to do it using drupal, wordpress for emailing posts (yes to the drupal site), and drupal's integration of gallery2: sweetike { dot } com<br /><br />You cant see all the options under the contribute menu, though, without logging in but family members can log in to add whatever they want. Most everything is publicly viewable so you can poke around and get some ideas. let me know if you have questions...<!--content-->
Hello,<br /><br />As thomas says, one of the many CMS's, although I much prefer joomla<br /><br />JimE<!--content-->
If you wish, you can take a "test drive" of many CMS's out ther from <a href="http://opensourcecms.com/" target="_blank">this</a> page.<!--content-->
