Overview

Hello,
Just enabled my new ubercart/drupal eCommerce site. Hope you like it.. :)

The Canton City School District of Canton, OH has an enrollment of over 10,000 students, with two high schools, three middle schools, 14 elementary schools, and several alternative schools. Each school, and the district itself, have its own dedicated website. Until December of 2011, these were powered by a Drupal 4.6 multisite installation.

They contracted with V-Soft and Louisville Web Group to help them design sites that reflected their message better, transition them to a more modern version of Drupal to take advantage of advanced capabilities, and make it easier to manage.

Upgrade Path?

The first decision to make was whether we would do an upgrade. Running Drupal 4.6, that would involve at least 3 separate steps. 4.6 -> 4.7 -> 5 -> 6, not to mention all the contributed modules. However (and thankfully), another goal of the project was to clean up their content and get rid of the unnecessary chaff, making a better browsing experience. Considering this, keeping all their old content, users, modules, etc was actually a negative.

Very much a work in progress - but it's mostly there. Another personal project I've been working on over the last week:

I have been wanting to change my site over to a CMS site for awhile now.

Recently decided to take the time and do it. No staff, just me, myself and I. I figured the three of us could handle it! :)

Did some research and came across Drupal. I was considering it and Word Press. To be honest, I had heard a lot of bad things in regards to Word Press in relation to glitches, back doors, etc...

Ended up installing drupal twice. Both times through a cpanel script/function installer that is provided by my hosting company.

First install did not work right, but the second did.

Long story short, here it is: http://www.nowthatscookin.com

Wanted to share it with the Drupal community. I am no programmer by any means, and consider myself really an amature web designer, but I really like how this has turned out. You would have seen the first one to know the difference. It is night and day.

And I am getting TONS of good feed back from my viewers, they love the new site.

So, a big shout out to Drupal, and everyone who is supporting it. All those folks making modules, etc... keep up the great work!!

It is still in development to a degree, and there is a lot of functionality I want to add to it down the line, but right now in my opinion it is a pretty sold site. And all the little bugs are worked out for now, so all seems to be good!
