Before you start

Hi!

Is www.ubuntu.com the highest traffic website running on Drupal (is it Drupal 7?) ?

For our scenario we don't deliver just static content (or a few dynamic pieces of the website), instead we integrate it with the back end (through Web Services).

• For the smaller website we have a public of 1,200,000 users (logged). The content shown is heavily customised (user area, user age, user position in the Sales Rank, day of the week, if it is his/her birthday, etc, as defined by the marketing and sales guys) - A cache strategy here will probably be fairly complex;
• For the bigger site we have a public of 100,000,000 users. The content will be updated many times a day (more like www.economist.com), but I believe cache can help a lot in this scenario. Even if the user is not logged in things can get complicated, for example, the background color can be changed according to where the user is located, time of the day, season and whether the user is accessing the website? Those kinds of things;
• We want to migrate many other smaller websites with low traffic to Drupal. I don't think those will be a problem though

.

We are going to run all the websites on AWS and use Akamai (not CloudFront).

Hi,

I work for a large company which has been using Vignette (quite an old version) for all our internet websites. We are now looking into new WCM / CMS solutions to act as our website platform for all those wesites and the ones to come.

From a technical point of view (and considering AWS as the infrastructure) we like Drupal 7, but the end user (who can be from Sales, RP, Marketing...) doesn't like the editor provided by Drupal (I don't know the name of that particular module).

Hello All -

Just a quick question from an absolute newbie....

Can I develop a Drupal 7 site that is hosted but not published until I feel it is complete?

I know I can develop one on my local machine and then migrate it over to the server but that seems like it could lead to a host of problems.

Basically, I want to develop the site on the live server but not have it available to everyone on the web until I want it "published".

Any thoughts?

Thanks for ny feedback.

Hi,

I have to use Drupal for a project on the clients insistance. I have built all the template files but i'm just hoping to get some advice on the structure of how template files work in Drupal. In wordpress you call get_header() and get_footer() to call the header and footer files (by header and footer I mean my logos, menus etc, i know that html.tpl.php is responsible for things in the of the site).

can we develop site using drupal http://www.nextworth.com?

What modules needed to develop such site.

Hi, I'm new to Drupal and I was wondering if there are some way to create user specific nodes and text?

For example when a user logs in he will be directed to a normal page with text, similar to a page node for example. But when the user edits the text its specific for that user and gets saved for that user. So another user that logs in doesn't have the same text?

Thanks, Jonas
