Show off your Drupal site

A client/friend wanted a website for his blog postings on occult, metaphysical, and related topics. He wanted also a way to use his site to sell content. Here's the current solution: http://gatesofhorn.com

I'm a first-time Drupal guy and I found the experience a lot better than other CMS' I've been subjected to. Some of this may also have to do with our hosting company, bluehost.com. They've been very supportive.

Howdy,

It took me about two months of actual work and over a year of fretting about. I converted my custom php file-based CMS over completely to Drupal.

The conversion presented a number of important problems. I wanted to go tableless, I had tons of legacy content there was no way I was going to import, and of course getting templates correct.

Here's a link to the new version of the site.
Here's a link to view the old version.

Probably the most striking change from a development standpoint is that I decided to use nifty corners to round my divs rather than the images and line repetition on the old version. This was a really tough call and I can't say I'm totally happy with it--when you refresh you can see the lines being drawn for a brief moment. So I may have to go back to images if it annoys me enough.

I particularly enjoyed creating the taxonomy for the site, which you can view in my published news item about my reasons behind converting to Drupal. I also liked working with my page.tpl.php after some initial fraustration. Being new to developing full-fledged themes in Drupal, I didn't understand what theme_function methods were, or what the template.php file might be good for. Once I understood that, I was able to get over a lot of noob questions that really were vexing me.

Hi all!!

I just finished preparing my second drupal site which is a digg-like site in french, but with more advanced features than the original!!

http://www.notreactualite.com

It features content recommandation and also a personnal site aggregator (mysite) for each user! Also, thanks to the powerful taxonomy of drupal, people can even filter by general theme, tags AND regional tags, so they can build up a regional view of news.

The Mission of The New England Ufology society is to photograph and gather proof of Extraterrestrial life. We will accomplish this task through personal interviews with witnesses and abductees, teams of members going out into the field to bring back photographic evidence, and we will use any other technique that becomes available. Our website is currently located at http://www.theweatherwatch.com/neus

Hi everyone,

After 6months of development (developed completely on my own) and alot of blood, sweat, tears and changed minds yesterday i released my actions sports community website; www.adrenalinehub.com.
It will be in BETA version for about a month to iron out any bugs and problems.

Basically the site focuses around video and photo sharing as well as each user having a homepage (similar to my space).

There's quite afew custom and modified modules, i've also added afew Ajax widgets here and there (mainly to help me learn ajax better).

The main modifications took place in the image and video modules.
Image.module
Changed the image.module to supports user ablums, improved (in my mind) workflow (insert 3 images at a time), added ajax progress bars and afew other things (imagemagick support).

Video.module
Changed it to support referencing to YouTube videos or uploading with own videos with videoEgg, improved the workflow and also made it so users can add a video to their homepage.

i must credit project opus for the shout.module i used (http://docs.projectopus.com/releases/shout) i did modify afew things; adding auto approve feature and email notification to users when they get a new shout, i hoping to add ajaxing to this in the future so users can add a shout without leaving the users page.

user_load function modification

Advomatic is proud to announce the Drupalization of Jewcy.com.

If you have ever posed one of those "Can Drupal do xyz?" questions, the Jewcy site is a great example of all that can be done for a robust community/magazine site.

Here's some of what we did and the tools we used...

Overall theme/design:
The theme was developed from photoshop files designed by Chopping Block. Everything here is custom and uses the phptemplate theme engine. It's a mix of various approaches for each major section of the site. We use views heavily across the site as blocks, sometimes as pages, and very often embedded depending on the functionality required.

The homepage:
Building a homepage that allows Jewcy's editors to set content in many places was a good challenge. We created a tpl file that uses a mix of phptemplate regions, blocks and nodequeues behind the scenes, with some basic dhtml on the front-end in for scrolling through featured articles.

A custom admin view was built for the editors to manage homepage content regions.

Magazine content:
There are distinct content types for formal magazine articles and community blogs with guest editors (CCK, imagefield, drupalimage/ing_assist/TinyMCE, views, custom tpl files for each node type). Many articles have multiple authors and multiple pages. CCKs userref and nodereference fields were employed for these article types. The views module provides the arg filtering we needed to generate lists of articles by author in the userref field.
