I need to transfet to a new CMS an exsiting site and so develop a project to build an aggregator of blogs in a certain geographical area and I am planning to use Drupal. As I have never used this CMS I need your help, please.
The idea is to build a site more or less similar to the newly redesigned bitacoras.com. That is, from a series of blogs build an aggregator where at the main page show the most recent blogs updated, and then internally, it can browse the posts of the blog, Blog category, date, etc..
It appears that the aggregator module fulfills this function fairly. I have also seen the feedparser. Wichh one is better for this? Are there others?
In addition, I would like to have:
- Top Stories appearing one an extract initial post (not complete), as opposed to the inside pages, where should leave altogether. It is possible?
- When you click on the name of a blog, I would like to access to an information page of the blog with data such as URL of the blog site of rss, labels and even a site map with Google Maps (as at http:/ /bitacoras.com/bitácora /www.neuroticweb.com/blog , for example).
- It is possible that when showing posts of blogs listed in the aggregator you can add features such as voting posts (with stars, for example) or add socia bookmarks (send digg, delicios, etc. ...).
