Creating a groups structure in Drupal

I'm starting developing a Web Site for a Sport Club. This site will have a "main" site with some "institutional" content, and every sport that is present in the club will have it's own micro-site.

For example, i'll have this sitemap.

Club

+++History

+++About

So, which is the best way to make this work? I was thinking using Taxonomies and views.

What do you think?

Thanks

I would say that if you are asking this type of question, you should probably go with Open Atrium. It is pretty much an intranet (and Organic Groups) right out of the box. I have 5 installations of it running publicly (in the www). @Shushu is right, any website can be an intranet or internet, it just depends on if you expose it to the world, or just to your local intranet. But if you are looking to dive into Drupal, use a drupal install with OG. But it really depends on how much time and effort you want/can put into it.

You can build out your site using views and arguments.

Add a CCK field (sport) or a taxonomy vocabulary (sport) and attach it to the blog, photo, video, etc.. content types.

When you build your views you would use the argument of sport in the path. That way you can have paths like:

  • example.com/rugby/blogs
  • example.com/hockey/blogs

The path to this example view would be %/blogs (% being replaced by the argument).

A couple videos on views and arguments:

I would also recommend organic groups module as one group one sport. Open Atrium could be a good installation profile (it also uses organic groups) but it's hard to understand.

I would recommend on the OpenAtrium installation profile.
Define each sport as a (og)group, add add to it whatever you need.

I believe that for your needs OpenAtrium fits nicely, and will save you lots of time.

Good Luck !
