Drupal Is Solid

I have a Drupal driven site, but I admit that the code is a little difficult for me to customize. I can do better with Wordpress, but Drupal is far more powerful and can run entire communities. Wordpress can't handle all that traffic and is not well suited for portals. My understanding of the Drupal code is a work in progress but certainly something I will accomplish.

Suitable For Several Applications

Our company site http://www.carnevaledesign.com was created using Drupal. We have also used Drupal for several other sites and even a kiosk machine. If you can dream it, Drupal can do it.

Built A School PTA Website With Drupal

My daughter's PTA site was ugly, so even though I was appointed as a treasurer this year, I took initiative and created Drupal based website for the PTA (http://www.fallsmeadpta.org). I am glad I chose Drupal (not that I am very experienced with CMS, but I did look around). Being a programmer helped with the set up (PHP is easy). I already had an account on 1and1, so hosting was easy too.


I used ubercart for online payment and integrated with Paypal.


If you would like to set up a school website or a site for non-profit, I will be glad to answer your questions - webmaster@fallsmeadpta.org.

Drupal As Alternative To Alfresco = Apples To Oranges!

Drupal is quite possibly the best WCMS (web content management system) platform for delivering flexible, easily extensible, and powerful websites and online communities.


Alfresco, however, is an enterprise-class platform that targets a much broader set of needs surrounding the management of granular and aggregate digital content assets. While it does have very powerful WCMS capabilities, it's likely not a wise choice for the kind of solutions where Drupal is best. You're simply not going to whip up a rich and complex online e-commerce website with Alfresco as you would with Drupal. You're also not going to whip up a global knowledge-base for a Fortune 500 on Drupal alone. That is a job more appropriate for Alfresco.


They are both excellent at what they do and this is really an apples-to-oranges comparison.


Just my $.02

The Best CMS Out There...By Far!

Don't worry about evaluating any other CMS options. Drupal is, in my experience, the most comprehensive solution out there and the sheer speed at which the community is contributing new modules guarantees that you'll always have cutting edge functionality and support for a LONG time to come.


Also, venture capital investment in Acquia is only going to increase the benefits of using Drupal.

Acquia, Which Provides Commercial Drupal Support, Delivers Search

We've covered Acquia, which delivers commercial support for the powerful Drupal content management system a number of times. Acquia also delivers its own distribution of Drupal, and the company's co-founder (and also founder of Drupal) Dries Buytaert has now announced that the company has come out of beta testing with its version of Acquia Search. It's available at no cost as part of every Acquia Network subscription. If you're looking for a free, open source tool to run a web site, and need solid search and inexpensive support, the one-two punch that Drupal and Acquia offer may be just right for you. 



Screencast Illustrates Useful Open Source Search Running with Drupal CMS

Dries Buytaert, founder of the Drupal content management system and co-founder of Acquia, which provides commercial support and services for Drupal, has an interesting screencast posted on his blog. It illustrates some of the services that Acquia provides for sites that run Drupal, (as OStatic does), and features the company's Bryan House demonstrating search functionality for use with Drupal, based on Apache Solr. If you're running Drupal or are interested in running it, the screencast is worth watching.



Baby Steps: Zappos.com's Switch to Drupal Content Management

We've written before about the projection that Drupal, the powerful open source content management system (CMS), may run more than 240,000 sites on the web by January of next year. OStatic runs on Drupal, as do many other well-known sites, including The Onion and Fast Company. Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal, has a post up on how Zappos, an e-commerce web site with more than $1 billion in annual revenues, is using Drupal. The Drupal.org site also has a case study up about how Zappos uses Drupal, which illustrates how flexible a platform it really is, and provides a lesson in how many sites using expensive proprietary CMS solutions could gradually transition to the many open source alternatives.

Has anyone deployed drupal/CMS using EC2

I'm curious to see if anyone has any experience deploying drupal (or any of the other CMS solutions) using Amazon's EC2 service. The value proposition seems like a no-brainer but I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this and what some of the pitfalls might be?

Wordpress, Typepad on Drupal?

Drupal as a CMS platform is great but its blog functionality still leaves a lot to be desired. I was wondering if there's any Drupal module out there that allows you to integrate Typepad or Wordpress blogs onto Drupal?

Open Source "Social-Network-In-A-Box"?

Looking to deploy an internal social network (think Ning) that provides the basic functionality - friends, wall posts, profile, photo sharing & groups. We'll be looking to add other features like bookmarking, jobs, events etc. over time. Nothing revolutionary. Was looking for a package that can be installed out-of-the box and get us up and running in a couple of days. I know Drupal provides a lot of this functionality but is still a little cumbersome to setup and mainatin. I'm hoping I can find something as simple as Ning when it comes to configuration, customization and admininstration. Once we're up and running we'll be looking to employ developers to start customizing this but for now we're looking for something that can be used out-of-the box and provides some basic skins, branding (logo) and user-privileges to help us get going.

Any ideas?
