I've recently completed (more or less anyway!) work on a rebuild of what had originally been a Wordpress website. This was my first development using Drupal so I'm sure there are probably better ways of doing certain bits and pieces within the site, and I would greatly appreciate any feedback with regards to what you guys all think!
This has been a great learning curve for me and I'm already getting stuck into 3 or 4 new developments on the back of this one!
EconomicsPost is for learning, sharing, and thinking about economics. We have released the beta version of the site, with all of the core functionality operational. At first the site was going to be a simple economics blog, but the vision shifted during development. Now work is being done to accommodate extra sections, including a LSAT guide, and featured Graduate Schools with student reviews. This work is not yet complete however.
Hi everybody,
I want to share with you this simple, but yet nice, site I built with Drupal. It's the online portafolio of the colombian graphic designer/illustrator/visual artist Margarita Acosta.
Dubkorps is an online community for European car enthusiasts. It's got a military style to it and is accompanied by a clothing and accessories product line.
Problems to Overcome
Site Accessibility
Prior to the Drupal iteration, the site was a large Flash site with links to paypal for purchasing products. It was impossible to link to a product, find things quickly, and very slow to load (the swf file being almost 1mb). Search engines also had no way to index the content.
Order Management
The largest problem with using paypal for order management is the general lack of features and information. Ubercart solves all of these problems. Because the 6.x version of Ubercart is still in beta at the time the site was being developed, Drupal 5.x was the only solution. The owners wanted to charge people for shipping, especially international orders, have an affiliate program, be able to track inventory easily, and most importantly: be able to track their orders! Ubercart can do all of these things with very little configuration.
I’ve finally made it. I’ve been playing with Drupal for about 4 years now, but have never engaged in a serious project. That has changed. Due to modules like CCK, Views, Panels and Token - Drupal has grown into a truly powerful framework that allowed me to implement my idea without deep coding knowledge. And here it is:
Flash arcade: ~3,000 games of assorted categories.
~10,000 cheat codes
Gaming News Syndication
Gaming Video Syndication (soon!)
Complete social network features
And More...
Design was based off of Addari theme
Any other questions about modules, configuration, etc, please ask.
