General discussion

Hi,

I'm a professional Taxonomist (think Biology) and am interested in using drupal's modules for implementing a biological taxonomy for providing a frontend to our databases and displaying information on numerous Grass species. I've tried to read through all of the comparisons, and i'm trying to work out which route would be best (Categories or Taxonomy modules). I'd also like to transfer a lot of our existing data structure and content into drupal, and am wondering if there are nice APIs that will let me do this.

Hi all,
Before migrating my postnuke intranet, i woulk like to have some feedback from user who already moved to drupal.
Is drupal has good as PN? What are the lacks of drupal, what are you missing from you old pn?
Any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,

A few months back , my undergrad college had requested me to help them is their websites. (I had no idea of Drupal then). I was looking for possibilities of migration into a CMS. We had some dynamic pages built in JSP for login and updation their information (Thats it). Drupal seemed to be a flexible solution.

Started exploring Drupal. At first i had huge set of problems.

Some of my major problems started were integration:
1) We already had a userbase. (had to convert them to drupal DB). - Wrote a script for this
2) Our usernames were in 'email-address' format. This posed a lot of problem, since we didnt want to display the mail addresses. So we got a way out of this using theme_username()
3) Not all modules were using theme_username. Had to literally change almost all modules.
4) The major problem was profiles. I wanted to use the profiles module at first , but the thing was too inflexible (as we had a table containing all the data). For some reason i shelved out profiles.
4) So i started writing a module for user profile. this seemed not a big problem, but the issue was that this was a very big form, so started using wforms (This is a really nice module , which i think i used the best of).
5) wforms was not completely written. It had no support for select boxes. Had to change the form.inc for this reason.
6) Registration: This was kind of strange. We dont use the internal registartion system of Drupal. We already have the user info coming from the school like their firstnames,lastname , DOB. We identify some few params input from the user and decide whether to accept him/not.

Hi,

I am just starting to look at Drupal for several different web design projects - it looks comprehensive and well supported by a community. My question is: would Drupal scale for a small website simply to give a client the ability to update content?

In other words, could I build basically a small "static" site and use the CMS properties of Drupal to provide plug in content, which my client could adjust to his heart's content? Or is that overkill? Of course, the website may grow later to include other features; but for now I have very simple needs.
