General discussion

I was thinking at a redesign for Drupal.org beacuse all the other "cool" cms's have better sites(ex joomla, e107 :P). And what about pathauto for the drupal.org site? + some forum modifications like in that flatforum theme?

Hi everybody,

I'm developing a new Wiki Engine for Drupal under project name Liquid (name suggestions are appreciated) and would like to hear if you had some suggestions on features that should be included. ANY suggestions are welcome, but please read the rest of the post to verify that the feature has not yet been implemented ;) .

The engine is currently built up of three modules:

• Liquid Core: Handles basic wiki funktionality.
• Liquid Node: A simple wiki node type.
• Liquid Filter: A package of wiki filters.

Liquid Core

The main feature of the core module is the implementation of wiki name binding, which allows insertion of arbitrary Drupal nodes into the wiki. A node is inserted into the wiki by binding a unique wiki name to the node. When inserted, the node can be accessed on the uri /wiki/{wikiname}. The uri binding is implemented using either the path module or redirects depending on your settings.

There are basically two ways to insert a node into the wiki. If the node already exists, select the tab named "wiki" while viewing the node (assuming that you have permission "administer wiki"), enter a wiki name and press insert. Otherwise, you can surf to the page "/wiki/{wikiname}". Provided that no page has been inserted with the given wiki name, Liquid will show a page with the text (There is currently no text in this page) and two tabs: "view" and "edit". Selecting "edit" will then bring you to an add node page (with node type set by the default wiki type setting) and as you submit the form, the new node will be inserted into the wiki under the appropriate name.

Hello,

I maintain a website for 7 years. Actually it's a bunch of self-written php-scripts. A little bit of a poor-guys-cms ;-) But it works. Now I think it's time to set up a serious cms. I played around with Typo3 and had a closer look at Mambo/Joomla. But for some reasons I liked Drupal best.

But when I had a look at this forum, I had some doubts. Don't get me wrong. It seems to fulfill your needs. But I had a UBB from 2000-2002 and from then on a Phpbb2 board. And my visitors are used to this kind of bulletin board.

I searched and read for a while in this forum. It seems to be possible to import phpbb users and content and somehow even to share the same userbase. But I think it will need a lot of manual adjustment, right? I am afraid there will be problems e.g. with the phpbb if I update to a newer version of Drupal and vice versa. For that reason I would prefer some kind of native forum solution.

In Joomla there is some kind of sophisticated forum system (simple machines?) integrated, if I got it right. Is there anything comparable in Drupal? I don't care if it's a vBulletin or phpbb or something else. Optically I will be able to adjust it to my needs I think. But it should provide a little a little more functionality than this forum system (I don't want to start a flamewar).

And best would be I would be able to import my phpbb users and content easily and p

Is it possible to promote a story to a node/page formatted a teaser?
The drupal standard settings allow teaser promotion only to the front page.

Instead of having a page of blogs from every user with recent ones being on top, how can I link to a page of links to every users blogs?
Sort of like this:

main page - click on - Blogs ---> list of users' main blog page ----> then links to their corresponding blogs

Thanks!
