Show off your Drupal site

Yesterday the Adobe Flex team launched a Drupal powered application that showcases applications built with Adobe Flex. The new Flex Showcase is online now at http://flex.org/showcase_app.

The backend of the application uses Drupal, along with the Services, AMFPHP, Vote up / down and CCK modules. The front end of the application is written in Adobe Flex, with custom components written in Flash.

Drupal was chosen for the application because we needed a PHP framework that supported user registration and management, content management, categorization and tagging, and comments. Drupal was the best choice for these services, and with the work that Scott Nelson had already done with the Services and AMFPHP modules, the choice was easy.

Information is an independent daily distributed all over Denmark, Europe. It is issued six days a week with a circulation of 22.000 copies and has about 100.000 readers. Until recently the papers website, information.dk, was based on a home grown cms-solution. As of the 28th of August 2007 the website is running on Drupal. The design and CSS was done by Jens Christoffersen and the Drupal hacking was done by Johs. Wehner. The project was lead by Nikolai Thyssen, chief of new media.
