General discussion

Hi everyone :)

Firstly, I'm sorry if this isn't in the right section... It didn't seem to fit anywhere!

Basically, I'm part of a company that produces price indexes (basically graphs of manipulated data, for those that don't know). The Economist do something very similar to us, and I know that they use Drupal. What I'm wondering is, do they just use Drupal as a basic CMS, only for articles and themes? Or are they using a module that takes the data from their database, manipulates it and outputs the result? Or is that bit done by code hosted on their server?

Hello,

I have just installed Drupal on Wampserver. I have to redesign an existing no-responsive website for my small village in Pyrenees (France). I do it as volonteer, my village is not rich.

I'm used to Prestashop or Wordpress, but this time I want to discover Drupal. I was told told it is very powerful, but not easy to use.

First, I'm looking for a theme for municipality or village, with featured projects on home page, meteo, etc. This site will be in English and French because we have many foreign visitors (campsites, bed and breakfast, etc.).

Hi,

first post and new to Drupal so pls excuse some naive questions

The following concerns the latest version of Drupal 8

Some developers have no problem following the Drupal 8 paradigm while others seem stuck with an old mindset. ie. I setup my CKEditor environment to allow interfacing with the font plugin. This screen recording I put on youtube as part of a project is an example of a getting a desirable Drupal 8 result. However, perhaps you don't see it that way at all. I've been asked to produce a book about Drupal 8 from my perspective. So any points of view are welcome.

It seems like, 'Applying for the “confirmed” user role' feature is no more in use, as I can see there are many spams from newly created accounts at DO.

Any specific reason of removing 'Applying for the “confirmed” user role' feature from DO ?

Per the documentation, I can download and extract Drupal five different ways:

1. using Drush,
2. using Drupal Console,
3. from the command line,
4. using FTP.
5. using Git.

Normally, I would go the command line method since it forces me to understand exactly what is happening. Or should I consider using Drush or maybe the Drupal Console? I currently know zero about Drupal, but if I eventually will need to start using these tools, maybe I should start doing so at time of installation?

Thank you
