Our site

We are going to look at a range of modules in this chapter, but it is important to understand how these relate to our site. A number of websites and discussion forums are now leveraging the power of syndicated content from other websites. Various websites make some of their content, such as news or blog posts, available as RSS feeds. We can make use of the aggregator module to import this content into our site, providing our users with additional resources to keep them on our site, instead of seeking news and information from elsewhere.

Provided we set up the permissions accordingly, any type of content such as pages, forums, and blogs, can be commented on by other users. We will look at how to use the comment system to allow users to comment on contributions, which helps promote discussion and communication.

Users can also contribute to our site by posting other forms of content, we will look at how to enable this, and also how to enable users to upload files with their contributions...
